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 Fresno, CA
Air duct cleaning in Fresno runs $350 – $650 for most single-family homes, with whole-system jobs that include trunk lines, branch ducts, and register covers. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve learned that Fresno’s San Joaquin Valley location and six-month cooling season create a specific set of problems you won’t find in coastal California markets. If your vents are pushing visible dust or your HVAC filter clogs every few weeks, that’s usually accumulated valley particulate and wildfire residue, not ordinary household dust. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free written estimate before any work starts.
Why Fresno Homes Are Different
Fresno sits in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley, which routinely fails federal PM2.5 and ozone standards. That means the air pulled into your HVAC system carries more fine particulate than almost anywhere else in California, and the wildfire smoke that drifts down from the Sierra and Coast Ranges every summer adds another layer of residue that sticks to duct walls.
Then there’s the heat. From May through October, attic duct runs in Fresno’s stucco tract homes routinely hit 140 – 160°F. That cooks flexible duct liner and mastic seals, causing premature cracking and visible dust plumes at vents. We see this failure mode constantly in north Fresno subdivisions and in the 1950s ranch houses of central Fresno, where original flexible ductwork has been baking for decades. Most of this housing stock, whether the post-WWII tracts near Blackstone Avenue or the 1980s – 2000s developments around Herndon Avenue, uses non-metallic flexible ductwork that deteriorates faster in extreme heat than rigid metal would.
The result: Fresno ducts accumulate debris faster and leak more severely than systems in milder climates, which is why we price by the complete system, not by the vent, and why we photograph before and after on every job.
Our Main Fresno Services
Most Fresno homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own page with full pricing and details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Fresno
We clean the full supply and return network using a Rotobrush rotary brush system combined with negative-air extraction from Nikro equipment. In Fresno, this means dislodging compacted valley dust and wildfire ash that standard vacuum attachments won’t touch. We access each register, clean through to the trunk lines, and run a final camera check where accessible. Every job gets a written price before we start and before-and-after photos of your own ducts.

Dryer Vent Cleaning in Fresno
Lint buildup in dryer vents is a fire hazard, and Fresno’s hard water minerals can cake onto lint, accelerating clogs. We run a rotary brush through the full vent line to the exterior termination, check airflow with an anemometer, and verify the exterior damper opens fully. If your dryer takes more than one cycle or the exterior vent barely moves air, the vent is restricted. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Fresno
Duct Sealing in Fresno
Attic ducts in Fresno’s 140°F summers crack and separate at joints, blowing conditioned air into the attic and pulling superheated attic air back into the system. We seal accessible joints with mastic and reinforced mesh, then pressure-test to verify the seal holds. For systems with widespread deterioration, we evaluate whether spot sealing or full duct replacement is the better spend. Duct Sealing in Fresno

We increase appointment availability during August through October, when smoke infiltration peaks and filter loads spike.
