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 Ojai, CA
Air duct cleaning in Ojai typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. The real difference here isn’t the equipment; it’s what we’re pulling out. After a Sundowner wind event, the dust and ash load inside Ojai ducts can rival what we’d see in two years of normal accumulation elsewhere. That’s why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning prices by the complete system, not by the vent, and writes the total down before we touch a register. If you’re ready to schedule, call us at (361) 326-5060.
Why Ojai Homes Are Different
Ojai sits in a east-west valley that turns into a wind tunnel every spring and fall. The Sundowner winds blast down from the mountains, carrying fine dust from the Ventura River bed, oak pollen from the surrounding hills, and, in recent years, wildfire ash from burns in the Los Padres National Forest. This debris doesn’t stay outside. It finds every gap in a home’s envelope, and in Ojai, there are plenty.
The local housing stock works against clean air. Mid-century ranch homes in the east end, 1970s tract houses off Highway 33, and historic downtown bungalows near Signal Street still run original duct systems with basic fiberglass filters. Many have never been sealed. When the pressure drops inside a return duct, it pulls attic dust and crawl-space grit straight into the airflow. We’ve opened floor registers in homes near the Ventura River and found a visible layer of fine grit and ash caked on the vanes, sometimes less than six months after the last cleaning.
The climate compounds it. Hot, dry summers keep particles airborne longer. No rain to wash the air. No humidity to weigh dust down. It circulates until the HVAC system traps it or the homeowner breathes it.
Our Main Ojai Services
Most calls we get from Ojai homeowners fall into three categories. Each has its own page with detailed pricing and process.
Air Duct Cleaning in Ojai
We clean the full supply and return network with a Rotobrush rotary brush system and negative-air extraction. In Ojai, that means dislodging compacted dust and ash that the Sundowners drove deep into trunk lines, especially in homes with original sheet-metal ducts. We finish with a visual inspection of each register and a before-and-after photo set for the homeowner. Air Duct Cleaning in Ojai covers full pricing and what’s included.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Ojai
Dryer vents in Ojai clog faster than coastal properties because the same fine dust that fills ducts also packs into lint traps and exhaust lines. We run a rotary brush the full length of the vent, check the termination cap for obstructions, and measure airflow before and after. A blocked dryer vent is a fire hazard anywhere; in Ojai’s dry season, it’s a hazard that doesn’t wait. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Ojai has the details.
Duct Sealing in Ojai
Many Ojai homes lose 20 – 30% of conditioned air through leaks in attics and crawl spaces. We seal accessible joints with mastic and apply aerosolized sealant where manual work won’t reach. The payoff is lower utility bills and less unfiltered air pulled in during wind events. Duct Sealing in Ojai explains the process and pricing.
