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 Calistoga, CA
Air duct cleaning in Calistoga typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs scheduled within a week and completed in a single visit. Calistoga homes face a challenge few inland cities share: wildfire smoke from the surrounding Mayacamas and Vaca ranges forces HVAC systems to run harder and longer than in valley-floor towns, pulling ash and fine particulate deep into ductwork. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and our crews serve Calistoga from the San Francisco Bay Area office. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Calistoga Homes Are Different
Calistoga sits at the head of Napa Valley, higher and closer to wildland-urban interface zones than St. Helena or Napa proper. That elevation means sharper diurnal temperature swings, often 40°F or more between day and night, which keeps furnaces and AC units cycling constantly through the dry summer months. The Mediterranean climate here, hot and rainless from June through September, coincides with peak wildfire season. Smoke and ash don’t stay outside; they get drawn through return vents, bypass standard filters, and settle in the plenum and evaporator coil.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Many Calistoga homes date to the early and mid-20th century, cottages and Victorians with original galvanized steel ductwork that has never been properly cleaned. The 1960s and 70s ranch homes and mobile home parks on the east side of town often run on flexible ductwork that’s undersized, poorly sealed, and prone to pest intrusion. After a nearby fire, our techs know to inspect the return-air plenum and coil in hillside homes west of town, where ash and char work past filters and coat components that a surface cleaning won’t reach.
Our Main Calistoga Services
Calistoga homeowners call us most often for these three jobs. Each has its own page with detailed pricing, process, and local specifics.
Air Duct Cleaning in Calistoga
We clean the full supply and return network with a Rotobrush rotary brush system and Nikro negative-air machine, pulling debris toward the vacuum rather than pushing it into your living space. In Calistoga, we pay special attention to the evaporator coil and return plenum after fire season, where ash accumulates where brushes alone won’t reach. Every job gets a written price before we start and is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Air Duct Cleaning in Calistoga
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Calistoga
Lint buildup in dryer vents is a leading cause of house fires, and Calistoga’s older homes often have vent runs that are too long, too many bends, or terminate in crawl spaces that don’t meet current code. We clear the full run from appliance to termination, inspect for proper airflow, and flag any configuration that needs correction. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Calistoga
Duct Sealing in Calistoga
Leaky ducts waste conditioned air and pull attic or crawl space debris into your system. In Calistoga’s pre-modern housing stock, we find significant leakage at joints and connections that were never sealed to today’s standards. We apply duct sealing mastic and mechanical fasteners to close gaps, then verify with a pressure test. Duct Sealing in Calistoga

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Calistoga
No permit is required for routine duct cleaning. Duct sealing that involves modifying or replacing ductwork may need a Calistoga building permit if it alters the system’s original design; we flag this during our initial inspection and advise if the scope crosses that line. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll walk through your specific situation.
We prioritize Calistoga calls during and immediately after fire season, typically scheduling within 3 – 5 days when air quality advisories are active. We focus first on homes with visible ash infiltration or residents with respiratory sensitivity. Call (361) 326-5060 to get on the list.
Yes. We’ve cleaned galvanized steel systems in early-1900s Calistoga cottages that have never been serviced.
