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 San Clemente, CA
Air duct cleaning in San Clemente typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve built our reputation around one thing: the price we write down before we start is the price you pay. San Clemente’s coastal location makes this work different from inland Orange County, salt air and persistent marine layer moisture corrode HVAC components and accelerate mold growth inside ductwork. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why San Clemente Homes Are Different
San Clemente sits right on the Pacific, and that proximity changes everything about what we find inside local ductwork. The marine layer rolls in most mornings, pushing humidity high and carrying salt particles deep into HVAC systems. In beach-adjacent neighborhoods like Pier Bowl and T-Street, we regularly pull out ductwork with rusted-through sections and visible mold growth that simply doesn’t appear a few miles inland.
The housing stock here tells its own story. Mid-century beach bungalows near the coast, 1970s and 80s tract homes in inland neighborhoods like Talega, and older custom homes throughout the hills, many still running original ductwork never designed for modern HVAC loads. Those older systems leak, accumulate debris, and trap moisture in ways that inland ductwork rarely does. The mild climate means systems run year-round, so contamination never gets a season off.
Our Main San Clemente Services
San Clemente homeowners call us most often for these three jobs, each shaped by the coastal conditions we just described.
Air Duct Cleaning in San Clemente
We clean the full supply and return network with a Rotobrush rotary brush system and Nikro negative-air machine, pulling out the salt residue, mold spores, and accumulated dust that coastal humidity cements inside. In San Clemente, we pay special attention to rusted register boots and microbial staining that inland crews rarely encounter. Every job gets a written price before we touch anything, and we photograph the ductwork before and after so you see what came out. Air Duct Cleaning in San Clemente
Dryer Vent Cleaning in San Clemente
Salt air corrodes dryer vent hoods and lint screens faster here, and the high humidity means lint clumps and sticks instead of blowing through. We run a rotary brush the full length of the vent, check the exterior termination for corrosion or blockage, and measure airflow before and after. A clogged dryer vent in a coastal home is a fire hazard that builds faster than most homeowners expect. Dryer Vent Cleaning in San Clemente
Duct Sealing in San Clemente
Leaky ducts in San Clemente don’t just waste energy, they pull humid, salt-laden attic or crawl space air directly into your living space. We seal with mastic and mechanical fasteners, focusing on the joints and seams where coastal corrosion has degraded the original connections. Sealed ducts mean less moisture intrusion, less mold risk, and lower utility bills in a climate where HVAC runs constantly. Duct Sealing in San Clemente

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in San Clemente
No permit is required for routine duct cleaning or dryer vent cleaning in San Clemente. Duct sealing that involves structural modification or new HVAC equipment may require permitting through the city; we handle that paperwork when it applies and include it in your written price.
San Clemente’s persistent coastal moisture means most homes benefit from cleaning every 2 – 3 years rather than the 4 – 5 year interval typical inland. Salt and humidity accelerate mold growth and corrosion, so we recommend more frequent inspections for homes within a mile of the beach.
Yes. Many San Clemente neighborhoods, particularly in Talega and coastal condo complexes, have HOA notification or access rules. We coordinate directly with your property manager when needed and carry full insurance documentation that most associations require.
