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 Ardmore, PA
Air duct cleaning in Ardmore typically runs $450 – $850 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. What drives the price isn’t just square footage; it’s whether your home is a pre-1930 stone colonial with original gravity-furnace ductwork or a post-war cape with accessible trunk-and-branch runs. At Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, we price every Ardmore job in writing before we start, and every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Ardmore Homes Are Different
Ardmore sits on one of the most complicated housing divides on the Philadelphia Main Line. Walk two blocks off Lancaster Avenue and you can cross from a 1920s stone twin with original round sheet-metal ducts tied to a converted coal furnace into a 1954 Ardmore Park cape with short-run flex duct and a modern air handler. That split changes everything about how we approach a job.
The pre-1930 stock near the Lancaster Avenue corridor often has asbestos-era insulation on duct exteriors and interior buildup from decades of gravity-furnace operation. We run Rotobrush rotary systems with HEPA containment on these jobs, and our crews are trained in Lower Merion Township debris documentation protocols. Cross into Haverford Township and disposal requirements shift. We handle both on the same route because Ardmore’s township line runs right down the commercial corridor.
Climate matters too. The mature Norway maples and oaks that canopy Ardmore’s older streets dump heavy pollen loads each spring, and the Main Line’s humid summers push mold spore counts high. Return-air grilles in these homes clog faster than in less-wooded suburbs, and we’ve found floor-level cold-air chutes in Ardmore Park capes packed with settled soot and small debris that standard kits can’t touch without pulling the register.
Our Main Ardmore Services
Most Ardmore homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own page with full pricing, process details, and neighborhood-specific notes.
Air Duct Cleaning in Ardmore
We clean the full supply and return network with rotary brush systems and negative-air containment, adapted to whether your home has original gravity-furnace ductwork or modern flex runs. In Ardmore’s stone colonials, we often encounter converted coal-furnace ducts with decades of layered debris; in Ardmore Park capes, we pull floor registers to reach cold-air chutes that standard brushes miss. Every job gets a written price before we start and before-and-after photos of your own ducts. Air Duct Cleaning in Ardmore
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Ardmore
Dryer vent blockages are a leading cause of house fires, and Ardmore’s older homes often have vent runs that predate modern code, routing through multiple stories of masonry or across finished basements. We clear the full run with Nikro negative-air equipment and inspect with a camera so you see the blockage and the clear path. If the vent fails within a year, we come back free under our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Ardmore
Duct Sealing in Ardmore
Leaky ducts waste 20 – 30% of heated and cooled air before it reaches your rooms. In Ardmore’s older homes, we seal joints and seams with mastic and mesh, not tape that fails in temperature swings. Post-war systems in Ardmore Park and Wynnewood sections often have accessible trunk lines where we can apply sealant directly. We test leakage before and after so you see the improvement in writing.

What keeps them low: accessible post-war systems with straight trunk lines and modern flex duct. Either way, you get one flat price per system, agreed in writing before we touch anything. No per-vent add-ons, no surprises at the door.
