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 La Verne, CA
Air duct cleaning in La Verne typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs scheduled within a few days and completed in three to five hours. What changes the price and the approach here is La Verne’s unusual housing split: century-old bungalows downtown with original gravity furnaces and unlined ductwork versus 1950s – 1970s tract homes on the east side with decades of buildup in galvanized steel ducts. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and our crews serve La Verne from our Los Angeles office. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why La Verne Homes Are Different
La Verne sits in the San Gabriel Valley foothills where hot, dry summers and Santa Ana winds pull dust and allergens from nearby dry brush straight into return ducts. HVAC systems here work hard six months a year, and that load shows up differently depending on which side of town you’re on.
In the historic downtown core, we regularly find 1900s – 1920s bungalows with original gravity furnaces and oversized, floor-level return ducts that haven’t been opened in 50 years or more. The metal is brittle, the seams are unsealed, and we’ve pulled out everything from compacted dust and pet hair to old newspapers used as insulation. These jobs need careful handling with negative-air equipment so we don’t damage what’s already fragile.
East of White Avenue, the Bonita and Emerald Isle areas are packed with mid-century ranch-style tract homes built with forced-air furnaces and bare galvanized ducts. The metal’s intact but the buildup is deep, decades of skin cells, cooking grease, and construction debris from original build-out. These systems clean well with rotary brush agitation, but the volume of material surprises most homeowners.
Our Main La Verne Services
Most La Verne homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own page with full detail on what we find locally and how we price it.
Air Duct Cleaning in La Verne
We clean supply and return ductwork with a Rotobrush rotary brush system and Nikro negative-air machines, pulling debris out rather than pushing it deeper. In La Verne, downtown jobs often need extra time for fragile unlined ducts, while east-side tract homes need aggressive agitation to break loose decades of compacted dust. We photograph the before and after so you see what came out. Air Duct Cleaning in La Verne has full pricing and scheduling detail.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in La Verne
Dryer vent cleaning here runs into two problems: older homes with long, convoluting vent runs through walls, and east-side homes where lint has packed solid over twenty years of use. We use rotary brushes and high-velocity air to clear the full run, then verify airflow with a meter. If the vent needs rerouting to meet current code, we tell you before we touch anything. Dryer Vent Cleaning in La Verne covers what we find and what it costs.
Duct Sealing in La Verne
Duct sealing in La Verne means two very different jobs: sealing the leaky seams and joints in downtown unlined metal with mastic and mesh, or sealing the accessible joints in east-side galvanized systems to stop conditioned air from dumping into attics or crawl spaces. We use Abatement Technologies testing equipment to measure leakage before and after, and we put the numbers in writing. Duct Sealing in La Verne explains the process and the savings.

Brands We Service in La Verne
We stock parts and filters for Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies systems commonly found in La Verne homes, and we carry adapters for older ductwork that doesn’t match current sizing. Most filter replacements and minor parts are on the van, so we don’t need a return trip. See our brands for the full list.
