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 Salt Lake City, UT
Air duct cleaning in Salt Lake City runs $350 – $650 for most single-system homes, with larger or more complex jobs reaching $800 – $1,200. What drives the price isn’t just square footage; it’s the unique combination of winter inversion particulates, Great Salt Lake dust, and housing stock that ranges from century-old galvanized ductwork to modern flexible systems. At Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, we price every Salt Lake City job in writing before we start, and we back it with our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Salt Lake City Homes Are Different
Salt Lake City’s winter inversions trap PM2.5 and wood-smoke particulates in the valley, coating ductwork and filters with a fine, dark grit that homeowners often first notice as black dust around ceiling vents. Compounding this, many homes sit in the path of fine, sticky dust from the Great Salt Lake’s exposed dry lakebed, which is pulled into return-air systems during wind events.
The Wasatch Front’s winter temperature inversions create some of the nation’s worst short-term air quality, pushing residents to run furnaces and air handlers nearly continuously; this circulates more dust and requires more frequent duct cleaning. Dry summers and canyon winds also drive fine dust infiltration. Inversions are worst along the east bench and in the Avenues, where cold air pools against the Wasatch foothills. Technicians there often find ducts clogged with a mix of wood-smoke soot and mineral dust from the lakebed, a combination rarely seen in other cities.
Housing stock ranges from pre-1920s brick bungalows in Sugar House and the Avenues, often with original galvanized ducts that collect decades of debris, to 1950s-60s ranch homes in Rose Park and Millcreek, and newer tight-built subdivisions in West Jordan and Draper with flexible ducting that can sag and trap dust. Each type demands different equipment and approach.
Our Main Salt Lake City Services
These are the three services Salt Lake City homeowners call us about most. Each has its own page with full pricing, process details, and neighborhood-specific notes.
Air Duct Cleaning in Salt Lake City
We clean the full supply and return network with Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines that pull loosened debris out of the home rather than redistributing it. In Salt Lake City, we often find ducts packed with the black, oily residue of inversion particulates mixed with alkaline lakebed dust, a combination that standard shop vacuums won’t touch. Every job gets a written price before we start and before-and-after photos of your own ducts. Air Duct Cleaning in Salt Lake City
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Salt Lake City
Lint buildup is a genuine fire hazard, and Salt Lake City’s dry climate makes it worse; static cling holds more lint to duct walls, and the same fine dust that fills air ducts can coat dryer vents, reducing airflow and forcing the dryer to run longer. We clear the full run from appliance to termination, test airflow before and after, and flag any flexible transition hose that needs replacement. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Salt Lake City
Duct Sealing in Salt Lake City
Leaky ducts waste heated and cooled air into attics and crawl spaces, and in Salt Lake City’s climate that’s a year-round penalty. We seal joints and seams with mastic and mechanical fasteners, then pressure-test the system to verify results. Tight-built homes in newer subdivisions especially benefit; their HVAC systems are sized precisely, so even small leaks throw off balance and comfort. Duct Sealing in Salt Lake City

What pushes Salt Lake City prices toward the high end: older galvanized ductwork that requires gentler brushing and more time, homes with multiple return-air plenums common in 1950s-60s ranches, and the extra cycles needed when inversion soot has bonded to duct walls. Whatever your situation, the price is written down before any work starts, and it does not move at the door.
