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 Highland, CA
Air duct cleaning in Highland, CA typically costs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. Highland’s location in the hot, dry Inland Empire east of the San Gabriel Mountains means HVAC systems run almost year-round, pulling in fine desert dust and wildfire smoke that accumulates faster than in coastal cities. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and our crews serve Highland from our Inland Empire office. Call (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before any work begins.
Why Highland Homes Are Different
Highland sits in a semi-arid pocket where Santa Ana winds whip dust, pollen, and wildfire ash down from the San Bernardino National Forest foothills. After a wind event, we regularly find a noticeable layer of fine grit coating return ducts and blower motors, especially in homes east of the 210 corridor. That abrasive dust doesn’t just circulate; it wears on system components if it sits.
Much of Highland’s housing stock dates to the 1950s through 1970s, particularly in eastern neighborhoods where mid-century tract homes still run original rigid metal ductwork. That metal holds up structurally, but joints separate over decades and seams collect dust where modern flex duct would flex instead. We see more joint separation and manual-sealing work in Highland than in newer Inland Empire developments. The combination of aging metal ducts and near-constant HVAC use means cleaning here isn’t a once-a-decade chore; it’s maintenance that protects the system itself.
Our Main Highland Services
Most Highland homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own page with full details on what we do, what it costs, and how we handle Highland’s specific conditions.
Air Duct Cleaning in Highland
We clean supply and return ducts with a Rotobrush rotary brush system and, where needed, Nikro negative-air machines to pull loosened debris out of the line. In Highland, we pay special attention to return plenums after Santa Ana events; that fine mountain grit binds to sheet metal differently than ordinary household dust. We run a camera afterward so you see the difference. Air Duct Cleaning in Highland covers the full process, pricing, and what to expect on the day.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Highland
Lint buildup in dryer vents is a fire hazard anywhere, but Highland’s dry heat and wind-borne dust compound the risk. We clear the full run from appliance to termination, check for proper airflow with a manometer, and note any crushed or sagging sections that need replacing. Most Highland dryer vents we service haven’t been cleaned in years. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Highland explains our flat-rate pricing and what’s included.
Duct Sealing in Highland
Highland’s older rigid metal systems lose conditioned air through separated joints and corroded seams. We seal accessible ductwork with mastic and reinforced mesh, then pressure-test to verify the seal holds. In homes with original 1960s or 1970s metal, this often improves airflow to the far rooms immediately. Duct Sealing in Highland details when sealing makes sense versus replacement.
