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 Hudson, MA
Air duct cleaning in Hudson, MA typically costs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. Hudson’s mix of century-old mill housing, mid-century ranches, and new infill construction means no two duct systems are alike, and pricing depends on material type, accessibility, and whether asbestos wrap or knob-and-tube wiring is present. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and we serve Hudson from our Boston office with crews that carry non-conductive hoses and material-specific tools for every era of ductwork found here. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free written estimate.
Why Hudson Homes Are Different
Hudson’s forced-air ductwork is like a museum of American heating history. The downtown triple-deckers and mill-worker cottages from the 1920s still run original thin galvanized steel ducts, often sharing chases with knob-and-tube wiring that our technicians must navigate with non-conductive hoses. Post-war capes in the suburbs frequently hide asbestos-wrapped pipes that we inspect before any agitation begins. New infill condos on the former Digital Equipment Corporation campus use modern flex runs, but they’re sometimes connected to older trunk lines that weren’t designed for today’s airflow volumes.
Hudson’s climate makes these material differences matter more. Cold, snowy winters and humid summers keep HVAC systems running hard in both seasons, pulling in extra dust, pollen, and moisture. In older, leaky systems, that moisture can breed mold in unsealed joints. We clean zone-by-zone and material-specific, not with a one-size-fits-all vacuum job. The Garrison Code requires us to identify what we’re working with before we start, price it in writing, and leave the site clean.
Our Main Hudson Services
Most Hudson homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own Hudson page with full details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Hudson
We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines to remove built-up dust and debris from supply and return lines. In Hudson, we often find that downtown mill homes need gentler brush settings to protect thin galvanized steel, while newer construction can handle full agitation. We inspect for asbestos wrap and knob-and-tube proximity before starting any job. Air Duct Cleaning in Hudson covers our full process, pricing, and what to expect on the day.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Hudson
Lint accumulation in dryer vents is a leading cause of house fires, and Hudson’s older homes often have longer, more convoluted vent runs through walls that were never designed for modern dryers. We clean the full run from appliance to termination, check for proper airflow, and note any code issues. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Hudson explains our process and why it matters for safety and drying efficiency.
Duct Sealing in Hudson
Leaky ducts waste 20 – 30% of heated and cooled air in typical Hudson homes, with the worst losses in unsealed joints of older metal systems and disconnected flex runs in newer construction. We apply duct sealing mastic and mechanical fasteners to restore pressure balance and cut utility bills. Duct Sealing in Hudson details when sealing makes sense versus replacement.
