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 Temple City, CA
Air duct cleaning in Temple City typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. Homes here face a specific challenge: post-WWII tract construction with original rigid metal ductwork, sharp 90-degree turns, and hallway floor returns that demand specialized rotary equipment and careful floor protection. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and we dispatch crews to Temple City from our Los Angeles scheduling office. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free written estimate.
Why Temple City Homes Are Different
Temple City’s housing stock is dominated by single-story ranch-style homes built in the 1950s and 1960s on slab foundations. Many still run their original galvanized metal ductwork, complete with asbestos tape at the joints that requires careful handling and containment. Those sharp 90-degree turns common in this era’s design trap dust in corners that straight modern ducts don’t have.
The warm, dry summers and mild winters mean HVAC systems here run nearly year-round, accelerating dust accumulation. After Santa Ana wind events, we regularly find fine desert dust coating duct interiors. Locals know the smell: that scorched-earth odor when the heater first kicks on after the winds pass, baked dust circulating through living rooms. Many homes pull return air through a central hallway floor grate, often original oak, which means our crews coordinate with homeowners to protect that flooring before we set up the Rotobrush or Nikro negative-air equipment.
Newer infill homes on smaller lots bring tighter duct runs and different access challenges, but the majority of our Temple City calls still come from those mid-century originals.
Our Main Temple City Services
Most Temple City homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own page with full detail on what we find locally.
Air Duct Cleaning in Temple City
We clean the full supply and return system with a Rotobrush rotary brush and Nikro negative-air machine, pulling loosened debris out rather than pushing it deeper. In Temple City, the hallway floor returns common in 1950s and 1960s ranches need extra attention; we mask and protect original oak grates before work starts. Every job gets a written price upfront and our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Air Duct Cleaning in Temple City
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Temple City
Dryer vents in Temple City’s older homes often run through slab foundations or short exterior walls with minimal clearance. Lint buildup is accelerated by the dry climate, and restricted airflow is a genuine fire hazard. We clean the full run from dryer to termination, inspect for proper airflow, and note any duct damage in writing before we leave. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Temple City
Duct Sealing in Temple City
Original metal ducts in Temple City homes leak at seams and tape joints, sending conditioned air into attics or wall cavities. We apply duct sealing mastic and, where appropriate, mechanical fasteners to restore system pressure. Sealed ducts mean rooms that actually reach the thermostat setting and equipment that doesn’t run overtime. Duct Sealing in Temple City
