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 Bridgeport, CT
Air duct cleaning in Bridgeport typically costs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. What makes Bridgeport different is the city’s concentration of pre-1950 multifamily housing, where original ductwork is often undersized, leaky, and shared between units. The salt air from Long Island Sound also accelerates corrosion and creates sticky, damp debris that inland Connecticut ducts don’t see. At Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, we price every job in writing before we start, and every repair is backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Bridgeport Homes Are Different
Bridgeport’s housing stock sets it apart from every other market we serve in Connecticut. Over 40% of homes here were built before 1950, including dense clusters of two- and three-family dwellings in the East Side, the Hollow, and the North End. These buildings often contain original sheet metal ductwork that is leaky, uninsulated, and in some cases wrapped in aging asbestos insulation. When we open a system in these neighborhoods, we’re frequently working with ducts that were never designed for modern HVAC loads.
The coastal climate adds another layer. Bridgeport’s humid summers and cold winters keep systems running year-round, while salt-laden air from Long Island Sound accelerates corrosion inside ductwork. We’ve opened vents in Black Rock and Seaside Park homes and found the telltale white powdery residue that salt air leaves behind. That same moisture encourages mold growth in damp ducts, and seasonal pollen from the harbor and nearby parks builds up faster than it does inland. Biannual cleanings are common here, not because homeowners are fussy, but because the conditions demand it.
There’s also the code issue. In older multifamily buildings, our crews regularly find illegal cross-connections between units, shared returns that violate modern fire and health codes, and ductwork that has been modified by handymen over decades without permits. We flag what we find and document it, because in Bridgeport, duct cleaning isn’t just maintenance, it’s often the first proper inspection that system has had in fifty years.
Our Main Bridgeport Services
Bridgeport homeowners call us for three core services. Each has its own page with detailed pricing, process, and local specifics.
Air Duct Cleaning in Bridgeport
Our Air Duct Cleaning in Bridgeport service uses Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines to dislodge and extract debris from your entire duct network. In Bridgeport’s older homes, we pay special attention to galvanized steel ducts that have separated at the seams and fiberglass flex duct that has deteriorated in crawl spaces. We inspect every register, clean the trunk lines, and provide before-and-after photos so you see what came out. Written price before we start, every time.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Bridgeport
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Bridgeport service addresses a genuine fire hazard in the city’s dense housing stock, where long vent runs through multiple floors are common in multifamily buildings. We use professional-grade brushing and vacuum equipment to clear lint buildup from the dryer connection through the exterior termination. In Bridgeport’s older buildings, we often find vents that were never properly installed to code, with too many elbows or inadequate clearance. We document what we see and quote any needed corrections in writing.
Duct Sealing in Bridgeport
Our Duct Sealing in Bridgeport service targets the leaky, uninsulated ductwork that is standard in pre-1950 homes here. We apply duct sealing mastic and mechanical fasteners to restore system efficiency, then test with a duct blaster to verify results. In Bridgeport’s shared-wall multifamily buildings, proper sealing also reduces cross-contamination between units, a health and code concern that standard cleaning alone cannot fix. The price is fixed before we begin, and the work carries our full-year guarantee.
