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 East Hartford, CT
Air duct cleaning in East Hartford typically runs $320 – $580 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and our crews work the post-war ranch neighborhoods from Burnside to Hockanum where original 1940s and 1950s ductwork needs more than a quick vacuum. If you’re ready to schedule, call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free written estimate.
Why East Hartford Homes Are Different
Most East Hartford housing was built between 1945 and 1960 for Pratt & Whitney and Hamilton Standard workers, and those original gravity-furnace systems create problems modern homes don’t face. The ductwork is short, rectangular galvanized steel with unsealed joints and often no return ducts in bedrooms, which means attic dust and crawlspace debris get pulled straight into living spaces whenever the blower runs.
The Connecticut River valley adds another layer. Our humid continental climate traps moisture in basement and crawlspace air handlers, and that river-valley humidity accelerates corrosion inside older metal ducts. In Burnside and Hockanum, we regularly get calls about smoke odor that won’t quit, usually in 1950s ranches where the oil furnace flue shared a chimney with a wood-burning fireplace. Soot and creosote residue embeds in the duct walls and recirculates every time the system kicks on.
Then there’s the particulate load. East Hartford sits under flight paths for Bradley International Airport, about 12 miles north, and the combination of highway emissions near I-84 and airport fallout means filters clog faster and duct interiors collect grime quicker than in quieter inland towns. For many residents here, cleaning isn’t a one-time fix, it’s part of annual home maintenance.
Our Main East Hartford Services
Homeowners in East Hartford call us most often for these three jobs. Each has its own page with full details on what we do and what it costs.
Air Duct Cleaning in East Hartford
We clean the full supply and return network using a Rotobrush rotary brush system for the main trunk lines and branch ducts, combined with negative-air containment from our Nikro machines so debris doesn’t escape into your home. In East Hartford’s smaller ranches, we pay special attention to the short rectangular trunks and unsealed joints that pull in attic air. Every job gets a written price before we start and is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Air Duct Cleaning in East Hartford
Dryer Vent Cleaning in East Hartford
Lint buildup in dryer vents is a genuine fire hazard, especially in older East Hartford homes where vents may run through unconditioned crawlspaces or have sagging flexible ductwork. We clear the full run from dryer to termination, inspect for proper airflow, and note any code issues we find. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and you’ll know who’s arriving before they knock. Dryer Vent Cleaning in East Hartford
Duct Sealing in East Hartford
Sealing is often the right follow-up to cleaning in East Hartford, where original sheet metal joints were never designed for today’s forced-air pressures. We apply duct sealing mastic to accessible joints and connections, reducing the leaks that pull in attic dust and crawlspace moisture. The result is cleaner air delivery and less strain on your blower motor. Duct Sealing in East Hartford
