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 Cheshire Village, CT
Air duct cleaning in Cheshire Village typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. Homes here present unique challenges: many sit on 18th- and 19th-century foundations with dirt-floor basements that feed dust and mold directly into retrofitted ductwork. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and our crews handle Cheshire Village’s historic housing stock with equipment and methods built for exactly these conditions. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Cheshire Village Homes Are Different
Cheshire Village’s housing stock is among the oldest in Connecticut. Colonial and farmhouse-style homes built before 1900 dominate the landscape, and most have been retrofitted with forced-air systems that were never part of the original design. The original stone or brick foundations, paired with dirt-floor basements and crawlspaces, act as constant reservoirs for dust, mold spores, and soil particles. These contaminants get drawn into modern HVAC systems through gaps in basement duct runs and unsealed wall chases.
The local climate compounds the problem. Cheshire’s cold, humid winters and warm summers keep systems running year-round, while the region’s high water table creates persistent basement dampness. During cooling season, that moisture fosters mold growth inside ductwork. In the oldest parts of the village, we regularly find supply ducts routed through unsealed, unheated crawlspaces where rodent activity and groundwater seepage introduce debris and odors that standard cleaning alone won’t resolve. These jobs require rotary brush agitation paired with sanitizing treatments to address both the buildup and its source.
Our Main Cheshire Village Services
Cheshire Village homeowners call us for three core services, each shaped by the conditions described above.
Air Duct Cleaning in Cheshire Village
Our full-system cleaning uses Rotobrush rotary brush systems and, where needed, Nikro negative-air machines to extract accumulated debris from supply and return lines. In Cheshire Village, we pay particular attention to basement trunk lines and crawlspace branches, where groundwater staining and rodent debris are common. We photograph the interior before and after, and we apply EPA-registered sanitizers when mold or odor is present. Every job gets a written price before we start. Air Duct Cleaning in Cheshire Village
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cheshire Village
Dryer vent blockages are a leading cause of house fires nationwide, and older Cheshire Village homes often have vent runs that are longer, more convoluted, or terminated in crawlspaces rather than exterior walls. We clear the full run from appliance to termination, test airflow with a manometer, and flag any code issues we find. If the vent passes through an unheated crawlspace, we note insulation gaps that can cause condensation and lint accumulation. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Cheshire Village
Duct Sealing in Cheshire Village
Leaky ducts in historic homes waste conditioned air into basements and crawlspaces, driving up utility bills and pulling contaminants into the living space. We seal accessible joints and seams with mastic and reinforced tape, then pressure-test the system to verify improvement. In Cheshire Village, this work often reveals disconnected branches or holes from prior renovations that owners never knew existed. Duct Sealing in Cheshire Village
