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 Spokane, WA
Air duct cleaning in Spokane means dealing with four distinct seasons of dust, pollen, and wildfire smoke moving through older ductwork. Most standard whole-home cleanings here run $340 – $540, though larger homes with multiple zones climb higher. We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Relay Home Co. family, and we do one thing: clean the air pathways in your home correctly, with a written price before any work starts. Call (737) 727-2314 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why Spokane Homes Are Different
Spokane’s housing stock skews older than a lot of Washington. The South Hill, Shadle, Hillyard, and Logan neighborhoods are full of homes built between 1900 and 1970, and that matters for ductwork. We regularly see galvanized steel ducting that’s been in place for 50-plus years, often with gaps at the seams and return-air paths that were retrofitted when forced-air furnaces replaced old gravity systems. Those older returns pull air from crawl spaces and basements, which in Spokane means fine glacial soil and decades of settled dust. That sediment ends up circulating through the house every time the furnace kicks on.
Climate is the second factor. Spokane sits in a dry high-desert pocket east of the Cascades, so the air carries less moisture and more airborne particulates. Cottonwood fluff along the Spokane River corridor in spring, grass pollen in early summer, and wildfire smoke from regional fires in August all get pulled into duct systems. Add in long heating seasons from October through April, and you have a system that runs hard for months with minimal air exchange. Homes near arterial roads like Division Street or I-90 also pick up more road dust and brake particulates. The combination is why Spokane duct cleanings often remove more debris by volume than similar homes on the west side of the state.
Our Main Spokane Services
Spokane homeowners call us most about three jobs: dryer vent buildup, whole-home duct cleaning, and HVAC system cleaning. Each service has its own Spokane page and its own pricing structure.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Spokane
Lint accumulation in dryer vents is a fire risk in any climate, but Spokane’s dry air makes lint even more combustible. Long vent runs from second-floor laundry rooms down through outside walls are common in South Hill homes, and every bend in that run collects more lint. Our techs use professional rotary brushes to break buildup loose, then run a Nikro HEPA vacuum to pull it out rather than blowing it into the yard. The full breakdown, including Spokane-specific vent run pricing, is on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Spokane page.
Air Duct Cleaning in Spokane
Whole-home duct cleaning in Spokane usually takes a half-day for a standard three-bedroom home. We use Rotobrush rotary systems to agitate debris off duct walls, paired with negative-pressure extraction, which means the loosened material goes straight into the vacuum, not back into your living room. Given Spokane’s older returns and seasonal smoke cycles, we often find dust caked on duct interiors at a depth that surprises homeowners. Full process details and whole-system price ranges are on the Air Duct Cleaning in Spokane page.
HVAC Cleaning in Spokane
The furnace blower, evaporator coil, and plenum are the engine bay of your air system, and in Spokane they work overtime every winter. Dust that bypasses the filter cakes onto blower vanes and coils, cutting airflow and forcing longer run times. We use Abatement Technologies containment units during HVAC cleanings to keep dislodged dust out of the air you’re breathing mid-job. Furnace and coil-specific service details, including what we clean and what we inspect, are on the HVAC Cleaning in Spokane page.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Spokane, WA
| Service | Typical range in Spokane |
|---|---|
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (standard 2,000 – 2,500 sq ft home) | $340 – $480 |
| Larger homes (2,600 – 3,500 sq ft, multiple zones) | $450 – $590 |
| Additional return or supply run beyond standard count | $28 – $45 per run |
| Dryer vent cleaning (standard single run) | $115 – $175 |
| Dryer vent cleaning (long or multi-story run) | $160 – $240 |
| HVAC/furnace blower and coil cleaning | $220 – $340 |
| Full HVAC system cleaning (blower, coil, plenum) | $320 – $440 |
| Filter replacement (Honeywell/Aprilaire media) | $35 – $80 |
What pushes a Spokane job toward the top of those ranges is usually duct density and access. Older South Hill homes with narrow crawl-space returns, long dryer vent runs from finished basements, or systems with add-on zones all take longer to clean thoroughly. One flat price per system is agreed before work begins, and it doesn’t change at the door.
