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 Rancho Cordova, CA
Air duct cleaning in Rancho Cordova runs $350 – $650 for a typical single-family home, with most jobs completed in one visit. What drives the actual price is the split personality of this city’s housing stock: original 1960s ranch homes with decades of buildup in rigid sheet-metal ducts versus new Easton-area builds with flexible ducting and heat pump systems. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and we dispatch crews from our Sacramento office to handle both ends of that spectrum. Call (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why Rancho Cordova Homes Are Different
Rancho Cordova sits at a crossroads, literally and structurally. The neighborhoods south of Highway 50, built out from the 1950s through the 1970s, are filled with single-story ranch homes carrying original galvanized or early rigid sheet-metal ductwork. Some still run on furnaces installed when LBJ was president. That metal holds up, but it also holds onto everything that passed through it for sixty years.
Then there’s the newer corridor. Easton and the master-planned communities near the 50/99 junction went up in the 2010s and 2020s with flexible ducting, tighter envelopes, and variable-speed heat pumps. The problem there isn’t age, it’s installation quality: builder-grade flex duct crushed in tight chases, poorly sealed returns, and systems that were never balanced properly.
The Central Valley climate makes both situations worse. Summers here mean HVAC systems running nearly nonstop for months, pulling in dust, pollen, and dry grass particles from open fields and active construction sites. Wildfire smoke from the Sierra foothills to the east and seasonal agricultural burning layer on top. In the older neighborhoods, mature valley oaks and Modesto ash drop fine debris that finds its way into attic duct systems. We see the pattern on every Rancho Cordova job: one house with a 1965 furnace and galvanized trunk lines, the next with a 2022 unit and kinked flex runs, both needing fundamentally different approaches.
Our Main Rancho Cordova Services
Most Rancho Cordova homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own page with full details, pricing, and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in Rancho Cordova
We clean the full supply and return system using a Rotobrush rotary brush system for light to moderate buildup, or a Nikro negative-air machine when there’s heavy debris or the ducting is fragile. In Rancho Cordova, that choice matters: 1960s metal ducts can handle aggressive brushing, while crushed flex duct in newer homes needs gentler negative-air extraction. We inspect first, explain what we’re seeing, and give you a written price before the cleaning starts. Air Duct Cleaning in Rancho Cordova
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Rancho Cordova
Lint accumulation is worse here than in cooler climates because dryers work harder and longer through the hot season. We run a rotary brush and high-velocity vacuum through the full vent line, from the back of the dryer to the exterior cap, and check airflow with a meter before we leave. Blocked vents are a genuine fire hazard, and Rancho Cordova’s combination of older vent routing and heavy use makes this a routine maintenance item, not an optional extra.

Duct Sealing in Rancho Cordova
Leaky ducts waste 20 – 30% of conditioned air in the average home, and Rancho Cordova’s two housing types leak differently. Older metal systems have separated seams and failed tape; newer flex systems have blown collars and gaps at plenum connections. We seal with mastic and mechanical fasteners on rigid duct, and replace or properly secure flex runs where they’ve pulled loose. Every sealed system gets a post-work pressure test so you know the improvement is real. Duct Sealing in Rancho Cordova
