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 Bonita, CA
Full-system air duct cleaning in Bonita typically runs $350 – $650 for a standard single-family home, with most jobs completed in one visit. The inland heat, large-lot layouts, and aging flex duct common to Bonita homes make this a different job than coastal San Diego work. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and our crews are dispatched from the San Diego office to handle Bonita’s specific conditions: attics that hit 140°F in July, duct runs stretching across half-acre lots, and original 1980s flex duct that’s been baking for decades. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free written estimate before any work starts.
Why Bonita Homes Are Different
Bonita sits in a semi-arid pocket of East County, far enough from the marine layer that summer temperatures regularly climb past 90°F and attic spaces push 130 – 150°F. That sustained heat cooks the flex duct and mastic seals found in most local homes, which were built between the 1970s and 1990s. We’ve opened attics in the Valley Vista area where duct tape has turned to powder and fiberglass insulation has slumped off the trunk lines.
The housing stock here is distinct too. Half-acre and larger lots mean longer supply and return runs than typical tract homes, with more joints and more places for leaks to develop. Many properties include detached guest houses, converted tack rooms, or workshop buildings with their own ducted systems. The fall Santa Ana winds blow fine dust and pollen through return grilles for weeks at a time, loading filters faster than coastal neighborhoods. We factor all of this into how we scope a Bonita job and what equipment we bring.
Our Main Bonita Services
Most Bonita homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own page with detailed pricing and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in Bonita
We clean the full supply and return system with a Rotobrush rotary brush and Nikro negative-air machine, pulling debris out rather than blowing it deeper into the house. In Bonita, we often find compacted dust in the long flex runs typical of ranch-style homes on large lots, plus degraded mastic at attic connections that needs attention before the cleaning starts. Air Duct Cleaning in Bonita covers full pricing and what happens during the visit.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Bonita
Dryer vent blockages are a fire hazard and a efficiency killer, especially in Bonita where long vent runs through attic space are common in two-story homes built in the 1980s and 1990s. We clear the full run from appliance to termination, inspect for proper airflow, and flag any flexible transition duct that needs replacing with solid metal. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Bonita has the details.
Duct Sealing in Bonita
Sealing is often the right follow-up to cleaning, especially in Bonita attics where heat-aged mastic has cracked and flex duct sleeves have pulled back from collars. We apply new mastic and mechanical fasteners at every joint, then pressure-test to confirm the system holds. Duct Sealing in Bonita explains when sealing makes sense and how we price it.
