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 Andover, MA
Air duct cleaning in Andover typically runs $450 – $850 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. The town’s mix of 300-year-old colonials and 1990s subdivisions means no two jobs are the same, and crews need to know the difference between a center-chimney retrofit and a modern flex-duct attic run before they open the van. We dispatch from our Boston office and serve Andover homes with background-checked, uniformed technicians and written prices before any work starts. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Andover Homes Are Different
Andover’s housing stock spans more than three centuries, and that range changes what we find in the ducts. First Period saltboxes around Central and School streets were retrofitted with forced-air systems in the 1920s through 1950s, often routing new ductwork through original chimney flues or unheated crawlspaces. The result is tight, irregular runs where a standard rotary brush can’t always turn. In the Bancroft and High Plain Road subdivisions, 1980s and 1990s Colonial Revivals use conventional flex-duct in unconditioned attics, but twenty-plus years of temperature swings have left seams and sagging that pull attic dust into the supply air.
The climate adds its own layer. January highs hover around 34°F, so heating systems run hard for six months straight, pulling debris through returns constantly. Spring pollen from oak, pine, and maple canopies, especially dense in Birds Hill and Shawsheen Heights, coats window screens and vent grilles with fine yellow dust. Summer humidity settles into basement and crawlspace ductwork, making mold checks part of any thorough cleaning. And the leaf litter from all those mature trees finds its way into outdoor intakes and dryer vents year-round.
Our Main Andover Services
Andover homeowners call us most often for three jobs. Each has its own page with full pricing, process details, and local conditions.
Air Duct Cleaning in Andover
We clean supply and return ductwork with Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines, pulling loosened debris out rather than pushing it deeper into the house. In Andover, we often start with a scope inspection to map chimney-flue retrofits or attic runs that aren’t on any blueprint. We check every access panel, clean the blower compartment, and finish with a written report showing before-and-after photos of your own ducts. Air Duct Cleaning in Andover covers full pricing and what to expect on the day.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Andover
Dryer vent blockages are a leading cause of house fires, and Andover’s mature tree canopy means outdoor terminations clog faster than in open subdivisions. We run a rotary brush through the full vent length, check airflow with a meter, and verify the termination cap is clear of lint and leaf debris. If your dryer takes two cycles to finish a load or the laundry room feels humid, the vent is likely restricted. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Andover has full details and pricing.
Duct Sealing in Andover
Leaky ducts waste 20 – 30% of heated and cooled air before it reaches the rooms. In Andover, we see this most in homes with attic or crawlspace runs where mastic has dried out or flex-duct has pulled from collars. We seal accessible joints with duct mastic and mechanical fasteners, then pressure-test to verify the improvement. For older homes with chimney-flue retrofits, sealing is often the only way to stop attic dust and cold air from entering the system. Duct Sealing in Andover explains the process and what it costs.
