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 Elizabeth, NJ
Air duct cleaning in Elizabeth, NJ typically costs $300 – $600 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. The city’s dense stock of pre-1950 housing and year-round HVAC use mean Elizabeth duct systems accumulate heavier buildup than most suburban markets, requiring equipment and techniques that match the age and condition of the local housing stock. At Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, we price every job in writing before we start, and every Elizabeth homeowner gets our 365-Day Done Right Promise backed in writing. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Elizabeth Homes Are Different
Elizabeth’s housing market is dominated by two- and three-family homes built between 1900 and 1950, many still running original gravity or early forced-air ductwork that was never designed for modern filtration. In the Elmora and Peterstown sections, we regularly find duct runs that were retrofitted into older homes without proper sealing, causing pressure drops and dust blow-back that homeowners mistake for furnace failure. The city’s industrial legacy near the ports and refineries adds another layer: duct systems here collect a mix of urban particulate and historic boiler soot that generic suburban cleaners aren’t equipped to handle.
Elizabeth’s climate pushes HVAC systems hard in both directions. Humid summers and cold winters mean furnaces and air conditioners run heavily year-round, pulling in pollen from the nearby Meadowlands along with urban pollutants. That continuous operation accelerates contamination faster than in drier or milder climates, and the undersized ductwork common in Elizabeth homes restricts airflow even further. We dispatch from our New York City office, with crews serving Elizabeth locally who understand these specific conditions.
Our Main Elizabeth Services
Elizabeth homeowners call us most often for these three services, each with its own dedicated Elizabeth page below.
Air Duct Cleaning in Elizabeth
Our Air Duct Cleaning in Elizabeth service uses Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines to dislodge and extract buildup from the older, often undersized ductwork found in Elizabeth homes. We pay particular attention to shared or stacked systems in mid-century apartment complexes, where contamination in one unit can affect neighbors. Every job gets a written price before we touch anything, and we photograph the ducts before and after so you see what came out.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Elizabeth
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Elizabeth service addresses the lint accumulation that multi-family housing makes especially dangerous. In Elizabeth’s older two- and three-family homes, dryer vents often run longer distances through shared walls or terminate in awkward locations that trap moisture and lint. We clean the full run from appliance to termination, test airflow with a manometer, and flag any code issues we find. The price is fixed before we start, and the work is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Duct Sealing in Elizabeth
Our Duct Sealing in Elizabeth service targets the pressure loss and dust infiltration common in retrofitted duct runs throughout Elmora, Peterstown, and similar neighborhoods. We apply duct sealing mastic and mechanical fasteners to close gaps where older metal joins newer flex duct, or where gravity-system conversions left leaks that bleed conditioned air into walls. Sealing these leaks often delivers the comfort improvement Elizabeth homeowners expected from a new furnace but never got.
