Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning Company in Pacifica, CA
Most air duct cleaning jobs in Pacifica run between $390 and $780 for a typical single-family home, depending on the system size and how much buildup has collected. The real difference here is what’s in the ducts: Pacifica’s ocean air carries fine, chalky dust and salt residue that settles faster than inland homes. Call us at (737) 727-2314 for a straight answer on your system before we ever step foot inside.
Why Pacifica Homes Are Different
Pacifica sits against the San Mateo County coastline, and that changes what your ducts collect. We’re not seeing routine household dust in most Pacifica jobs. We’re seeing salt-laden air, persistent moisture, and the fine particulate that comes from living right off Highway 1 and the Pacific. Duct interiors here develop a gray, slightly sticky film that inland systems rarely show, and that film traps allergens fast.
Housing stock matters just as much. Linda Mar and Park Pacifica run heavy on 1950s and 1960s ranch-style homes with original sheet metal ducts that have never been cleaned. Fairmont, Sharp Park, and the Westview area add split-levels with tighter crawl spaces and ducts routed through salt-saturated crawl air. Warm coastal air meets cool crawlspace metal, condensation forms, and dust turns to paste. Homes in Pedro Point and along the bluffs get the worst of the wind off the ocean, which means more windows open, more airborne particles, and faster duct loading.
Most Pacifica homes don’t need permits for routine air duct cleaning, since it does not alter the building envelope or mechanical systems. If your property sits within a coastal review zone or a neighborhood with an active HOA, we’ll flag anything worth checking before work starts, but in practice, cleaning almost never triggers a permit here.
Our Main Pacifica Services
Pacifica homeowners call us most for two things: dryer vent blockages and full air duct cleaning. Both have their own dedicated Pacifica page below, because the details around each are different enough to deserve their own answers.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pacifica
Lint builds fast in Pacifica laundry rooms, especially in older Linda Mar and Sharp Park homes where the dryer vent is a long, flat run through a crawlspace or side wall. Add Pacifica’s humidity and the lint gets heavier and clumps sooner. Our team uses a HEPA-rated Nikro vacuum to capture lint at the vent exit while a rotary brush works the full line. It keeps the job contained and your laundry room clean. Full details on lint builds, run lengths, and what we see in Pacifica are on the service page.

Air Duct Cleaning in Pacifica
Pacifica’s salt-laden air doesn’t just coat duct walls; it mixes with household dust and pet dander into a heavy film that reduces airflow and holds onto moisture. A standard single-system cleaning in Pacifica usually runs $390 to $780, depending on home size and the number of returns and vents. We run Rotobrush rotary brush heads with Nikro HEPA vacuums to pull loosened debris out under negative pressure, which means it goes into the vacuum, not back into your home. That matters in Pacifica’s small finished crawlspaces, where containment is the difference between a clean job and dust everywhere.
HVAC Cleaning in Pacifica
Pacifica’s HVAC systems work harder than most people realize. The ocean air means coils and blower wheels collect a salty, greasy film that clogs fins and cuts efficiency. Homes in Park Pacifica and Westview with heat pump systems are especially prone to this film building up across the evaporator coil. The HVAC cleaning service page covers blower motor cleaning, coil cleaning, and return-side filtration in detail. We use Abatement Technologies containment when we work on the air handler, and our techs wear the gear to keep the cleaning from spreading through your home.

Regardless, the written price we give you before any work starts is the number on your invoice. It does not move.
