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 Pomona, CA
Air duct cleaning in Pomona, CA runs $320 – $580 for most homes, depending on system size and how long it’s been since the last cleaning. Ducts in Pomona work harder than in most of Los Angeles County, because of the 91 and 10 freeway dust, the Santa Ana winds, and the age of the housing stock. Omar Haddad and our team at Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning bring professional-grade Rotobrush and Nikro equipment to every Pomona job, with a written price before any work starts. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate.
Why Pomona Homes Are Different
Pomona sits at the eastern edge of the San Gabriel Valley, right where the 10, 71, 60, and 57 freeways converge. That means dust, brake soot, and freeway particulate make their way into return-air ducts faster than in cities further from the interchange. Add the Santa Ana winds between September and February, and fine grit finds every gap in a duct system. Homes in Phillips Ranch, Westmont, and Ganesha start out with one advantage: newer construction with tight duct runs. But the older stock near Lincoln Park, the Historic Core, and North Pomona has decades of layered dust in galvanized steel ducts that have never been fully cleaned.
Housing age varies block by block in Pomona. A 1950s ranch near Garfield Park needs a different approach than a 1990s two-story in Phillips Ranch. Older homes often have duct runs with sagging flex sections and return-air paths that were undersized by modern standards. Bigger system, more linear footage, more build-up. Our team reports what they find in the camera scope before they start, so you know exactly what you’re paying to clean.
Our Main Pomona Services
The two services Pomona homeowners call us for most often are dryer vent cleaning and full air duct cleaning. HVAC cleaning usually comes into play after a remodel, a move-in, or when a system has never been touched.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pomona
Lint builds up faster in Pomona dryer vents than you’d think, especially in homes with long vertical runs through the roof. That’s the standard configuration across much of Pomona, from Westmont to Ganesha, and a restricted vent means longer dry cycles and a hotter exhaust path. We run professional brushes through the full run and verify airflow before we leave. If your dryer has been taking 60-plus minutes per load, it’s worth a look. See Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pomona for full pricing.
Air Duct Cleaning in Pomona
Air duct cleaning in Pomona usually means three things: source-removal cleaning of the supply and return runs, HEPA vacuum extraction at the registers, and a camera walkthrough so you see the before and after. We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems paired with Nikro negative air machines, which pull loosened debris into a sealed containment unit instead of recirculating it into your living room. Pomona’s freeway-adjacent air makes this service a regular part of home maintenance for many of our customers. Pricing and scope are on the Air Duct Cleaning in Pomona page.
HVAC Cleaning in Pomona
HVAC cleaning goes beyond the ducts and addresses the blower motor, evaporator coil, drain pan, and return plenum. In Pomona, evaporator coils pick up a sticky film from freeway exhaust and pollen, which reduces system efficiency even if the ducts themselves are clean. We clean the full airflow path, replace standard filters when requested, and leave you with a system that starts with clean surfaces instead of pushing air across accumulated grime. Full breakdown lives on the HVAC Cleaning in Pomona page.

The biggest price drivers in Pomona are linear footage of ductwork and whether the system has accessible registers or awkward crawlspace runs. Multi-story homes in Phillips Ranch with split systems run higher than a single-story ranch in North Pomona. Whatever the job, we hand you a written price before the first duct is touched, and that number doesn’t change.
