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 Citrus, CA
Air duct cleaning in Citrus, CA typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system and is scheduled by appointment, not as an emergency dispatch. Most Citrus homes need service every 3 – 5 years due to year-round HVAC use and seasonal Santa Ana wind events that drive fine dust through outdoor intakes. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and we serve Citrus from our Los Angeles coordination office with background-checked, uniformed technicians who arrive inside the quoted window. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Citrus Homes Are Different
Citrus sits in the San Gabriel Valley with a housing stock dominated by single-family homes built from the 1950s through the 1970s. Many of these systems still run on original or lightly updated flexible ductwork, the ribbed material that collects dust in its ridges and provides entry points for rodents and insects seeking shelter from summer heat. We regularly find nests, droppings, and compacted debris in attics over homes near Citrus Avenue and the older streets east of the 210 corridor.
The Mediterranean climate here means HVAC systems run continuously, hot dry summers bleeding into mild winters with no real off-season. That steady airflow keeps pushing new debris into the system. Then the Santa Ana winds arrive, typically fall through early winter, carrying fine dust and sometimes ash from wildfire-prone areas to the north and east. During these events, return vents pull that particulate directly into ductwork. We’ve opened systems in Citrus where the filter was changed on schedule but the duct trunk lines were coated with a layer of gray dust that standard filtration never reached. Homes near the foothills see this more acutely than those closer to the valley floor.
Our Main Citrus Services
Most Citrus homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own dedicated page with full pricing, process details, and what to expect on the day of service.
Air Duct Cleaning in Citrus
We clean the full supply and return network using a Rotobrush rotary brush system combined with negative-air extraction from Nikro equipment. In Citrus, this means addressing the flexible ductwork common in 1960s and 1970s builds, where brushes must be sized carefully to avoid tearing the liner. We also inspect for pest intrusion, a recurring issue in older attics here. Every job gets a written price before we start and is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise.

Dryer Vent Cleaning in Citrus
Dryer vent cleaning in Citrus addresses lint buildup that restricts airflow and creates fire risk, particularly in homes where the vent run exceeds 15 feet through the attic or crawl space, common in the ranch-style layouts of this area. We use rotary brushes and high-velocity air tools to clear the full run, then verify flow with a meter. If the vent terminates through the roof, we check the cap for Santa Ana wind damage.

Duct Sealing in Citrus
Duct sealing closes leaks in the supply network using mastic compound and metal-backed tape, not the failing duct tape many original Citrus systems still carry. In this climate, leaks in attic ductwork pull 130-degree air into the system in summer, forcing the compressor to run longer and driving up bills. We pressure-test the system before and after to measure improvement. Duct Sealing in Citrus

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Citrus
No permit is required for standard air duct cleaning or dryer vent cleaning in Citrus. Duct sealing that involves modifying the HVAC plenum or replacing sections of rigid duct may require a permit from Los Angeles County; we flag this during the estimate if it applies. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll walk you through what your specific job requires.
Citrus sits in a direct path for Santa Ana wind events that carry fine dust and occasional ash from inland fire zones. Return vents pull this particulate into the system even with standard filtration in place. We see heavier dust loads here than in coastal cities with onshore airflow, which is why many Citrus homeowners schedule cleaning on a 3-year cycle rather than 5.
Yes. We cover both the incorporated city and adjacent unincorporated Los Angeles County pockets. The same pricing, equipment, and 365-Day Done Right Promise apply. Scheduling is coordinated from our Los Angeles office, and we route Citrus-area appointments together to maintain on-time arrivals.
