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 Fort Collins, CO
Air duct cleaning in Fort Collins runs $300 – $550 for a typical whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. What makes this market different is the altitude, the dryness, and the housing stock: thousands of mid-century ranches and split-levels with original ductwork that has never been properly sealed or cleaned. We dispatch crews from our Denver office and serve Fort Collins homeowners with the same written pricing and 365-Day Done Right Promise we honor everywhere in the Garrison Partners family. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Fort Collins Homes Are Different
Fort Collins sits at roughly 5,000 feet in a semi-arid zone where relative humidity routinely drops to 15 – 25%. That dryness keeps dust airborne and electrostatically charged, so it clings to duct interiors in ways wetter climates don’t see. Then summer monsoon spikes hit, and the same dust that was bone-dry in June can briefly support microbial growth in cooling coils by August.
The housing tells the rest of the story. Neighborhoods like Old Town, Andersonville, and Miller are packed with 1950s – 1970s ranches and split-levels. Many still run original sheet-metal trunk lines with short branch runs through unconditioned crawlspaces or attics. In some areas, expansive clay soils and 1960s slab-on-grade construction put ductwork under the slab or inside crawlspaces that draw in soil gases and radon. A crew working in Fort Collins can’t just vacuum and leave; they need to assess whether the system is pulling in what it shouldn’t, and whether sealing is part of the fix.
The heating season runs October to April, so these ducts work hard eight months a year. Homeowners who run A/C only in July and August often forget the system is a year-round machine.
Our Main Fort Collins Services
Most Fort Collins homeowners who call us need one of three things: the ducts cleaned, the dryer vent cleared, or the duct system sealed against leakage and soil-gas intrusion.
Air Duct Cleaning in Fort Collins
We clean supply and return trunk lines, branch runs, and registers using a Rotobrush rotary brush system paired with Nikro negative-air machines. In Fort Collins, we pay special attention to dust loading in older sheet-metal systems and to any signs of crawlspace or slab-draw infiltration. The job includes before-and-after photos of your own ducts, not stock images. Air Duct Cleaning in Fort Collins covers full-system pricing and what to expect on the day.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Fort Collins
Lint buildup in dryer vents is a genuine fire hazard, and Fort Collins’ dry air doesn’t help; static-charged lint packs tighter in long vent runs. We clear the full run from appliance to termination, check airflow with a manometer, and flag any corrugated flex pipe that should be replaced with smooth-wall duct. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Fort Collins has the details.
Duct Sealing in Fort Collins
Given the radon and soil-gas concerns in older slab and crawlspace construction here, sealing is often the more urgent job than cleaning. We apply duct sealing mastic and mechanical fasteners to leaks at joints, boots, and plenum connections, then verify with a pressure test. Duct Sealing in Fort Collins explains when sealing should come first.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Fort Collins
No permit is required for standard residential duct cleaning or dryer vent cleaning in Fort Collins. Duct sealing that involves modifying or extending the HVAC system may need a permit; we flag that during the estimate and can advise on the process. Call (361) 326-5060 if you’re unsure about your specific job.
We schedule most Fort Collins appointments within 2 – 4 business days, with dispatch coordinated from our Denver office. We do not promise same-day service because duct cleaning is a scheduled, in-home job that requires proper equipment loading and time allocation. Call (361) 326-5060 to check current availability.
Most Fort Collins HOAs do not regulate interior duct cleaning, but some newer subdivisions with shared mechanical systems or exterior venting requirements may have rules. We can provide a scope-of-work letter if your HOA asks for documentation. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll handle the paperwork.
