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 Bostonia, CA
Air duct cleaning in Bostonia typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with dryer vent cleaning at $120 – $220 and duct sealing at $800 – $1,800 depending on home size and access. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve learned that Bostonia jobs aren’t like coastal San Diego work. The foothill location, 1970s tract housing stock, and Santa Ana wind events create a specific set of problems: ash intrusion, deteriorated galvanized ductwork, and rodent-damaged flex runs in manufactured home parks. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why Bostonia Homes Are Different
Bostonia sits in the San Diego County foothills, not the marine layer zone. That semi-arid inland valley brings hot, dry summers and strong Santa Ana winds each fall that carry dust, ash, and wildfire debris straight into return vents. After a Santa Ana event, our technicians routinely find a distinct layer of fine ash and charred debris in the first few feet of main trunk lines, especially along the foothill edges near Bostonia and Main Street where wildfire smoke settles.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Most Bostonia homes are 1970s – 1980s single-family tract builds with original galvanized-steel or early flex ducts. The joints have deteriorated, registers are low-efficiency, and leakage is common. A large share are manufactured homes in parks, where under-belly duct systems are especially prone to rodent intrusion and dust buildup. Year-round HVAC operation means accumulation never gets a seasonal break like it does in colder climates.
Our Main Boston Services
These are the three services Bostonia homeowners call us about most.
Air Duct Cleaning in Bostonia
We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines to dislodge and extract buildup from Bostonia’s aging ductwork. The rotary brush scrubs the interior walls of galvanized-steel mains and flex branches, while negative-air suction pulls debris out rather than pushing it into your home. In Bostonia, we pay special attention to the first few feet of trunk lines after wind events, where ash and soot concentrate. Air Duct Cleaning in Bostonia
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Bostonia
Dryer vent cleaning in Bostonia addresses lint accumulation that slows drying times and creates fire risk, especially in manufactured homes with longer vent runs through crawl spaces. We clean the full run from appliance to termination, inspect for proper airflow, and verify the exterior vent cap operates freely. Bostonia’s dry climate means lint dries hard and packs dense, making professional extraction more important than in humid regions. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Bostonia
Duct Sealing in Bostonia
Duct sealing in Bostonia uses mastic and mechanical fasteners to close leaks in deteriorated joints and seams, then tests with a duct blaster to verify results. Given the age of Bostonia’s housing stock, we often find 20 – 30% air loss through leaks before sealing. The work is especially effective in manufactured homes with under-belly runs exposed to rodent damage and in tract homes with original galvanized systems where seams have loosened over decades.
