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.

AfterFast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Westborough
Air duct cleaning in Westborough typically runs $350 – $650 for a standard single-family home, with most jobs scheduled within a few business days and completed in three to five hours. If you’re noticing musty air when the AC starts up, dust settling on furniture faster than it should, or uneven heating through the rooms of your Colonial near the Town Common, your ductwork is likely carrying years of buildup.
We know Westborough’s split personality well. Our crews handle everything from the hand-built 1700s center-chimney houses around the historic district, where flex duct was squeezed through original brick chases during retrofit, to the tightly sealed office parks along Route 9 where construction debris from tenant fit-outs still circulates through rooftop-unit systems. Scheduling and dispatch for Air Duct Cleaning in Westborough is coordinated from our Boston office, and we keep our trucks stocked for both the antique timber-frame jobs and the modern commercial calls.

Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Westborough’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been doing this since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, and that track record matters in a town where homeowners remember who showed up and who ghosted. Our Air Duct Cleaning team arrives inside the quoted window, prices the job in writing before touching any equipment, and leaves the site clean. That’s The Garrison Standard, and it’s how we operate on every Westborough job.
Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed. You know who’s walking into your home before they arrive. And our phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No voicemail loops, no callback queues, no waiting until Monday to schedule.
Every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the work fails within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit. Competitors in this trade rarely put that in writing.
Air Duct Inspection in Westborough
Air Duct Inspection in Westborough starts with a technician running a video camera through your supply and return lines, looking for dust accumulation, mold growth, disconnected joints, and debris that shouldn’t be there. In Westborough’s older homes near the Town Common, we’re often checking whether retrofit ductwork run through original brick chimneys has pulled apart or developed gaps that leak heated air into unconditioned spaces. A typical residential inspection runs $150 – $250, and we apply that fee toward your cleaning if you move forward.
What the Camera Reveals
The video feed shows you exactly what we’re seeing: compacted dust layers, rodent debris, or moisture staining from snowmelt that seeped into basement duct runs. We save the footage so you can review it, and we flag anything that needs repair before cleaning begins.
When Westborough Homeowners Should Schedule
Book an inspection if you’ve never had your ducts cleaned, if you’ve recently renovated (especially in the Chauncy Lake area where 1980s – 2000s homes often get finished basements), or if anyone in your home has worsening allergy symptoms when the HVAC runs. In the Route 9 corridor, we also inspect commercial systems before lease turnovers.
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Westborough
Residential Air Duct Cleaning in Westborough means pulling every register, agitating the interior of your supply and return ducts with a rotary brush system, and extracting the loosened debris with negative-air machines. For a typical three-bedroom Colonial or ranch in the Chauncy Lake subdivisions, you’re looking at $350 – $550. Larger homes, antique center-chimney systems with multiple duct runs through original chases, or jobs requiring access through finished spaces can run $550 – $850.
The Rotary Brush and Negative-Air Method
Our Rotobrush rotary brush system scrubs the duct walls while our Nikro negative-air machine maintains suction, pulling debris out of your home rather than redistributing it. We follow with a HEPA filtration pass. This is the same equipment commercial crews use, not hardware-store gear.
What Happens After We’re Done
We show you before-and-after photos of your own ducts, not stock images. You get a written invoice matching the written price you approved. And if anything fails within a year, the 365-Day Done Right Promise covers it.
Trusted Brands We Service in Westborough
We clean and service ductwork connected to all major HVAC brands, and we stock filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman for Westborough customers who want to upgrade while we’re on site. If your system needs a media filter replacement or a UV light installation during the same visit, we can handle it without a return trip. Our trucks carry Rotobrush and Nikro equipment, so we’re not waiting on parts or rentals. That matters when you’re trying to get basement ducts cleaned before spring humidity hits, or when a commercial client on Route 9 needs a turnover completed on schedule.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Westborough Homes
- Retrofit ductwork in center-chimney Colonials. The 18th- and 19th-century homes near the Town Common often have HVAC ductwork run through original brick chimneys or unheated attics. These runs are notoriously leaky, and the gaps pull in dust from wall cavities and chimney flues that never gets filtered.
- Moisture in basement and crawlspace ducts. Westborough averages 45-plus inches of snow yearly, and that snowmelt combined with spring humidity pushes moisture into low duct runs. When the AC kicks on in June, you’re circulating musty air through every room.
- Construction debris in Route 9 office parks. The Class A buildings along I-495 and Route 9 have seen constant tenant fit-outs since the 1990s. Drywall dust, insulation fragments, and carpet fibers from those renovations still sit in commercial ductwork, aggravating occupants and reducing airflow.
- Overloaded filters in hard-running systems. With January highs around 34°F and humid summers, Westborough heating and cooling systems run heavy most of the year. That runtime pulls more dust, pet dander, and pollen into ductwork than in milder climates, and homeowners often don’t realize their filters are overloaded until airflow drops.
