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 Los Altos Hills, CA
Air duct cleaning in Los Altos Hills typically runs $450 – $850 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. We serve Los Altos Hills from our San Francisco Bay Area dispatch office, sending background-checked, uniformed crews with Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines up the winding roads of the Santa Cruz Mountains foothills. The homes here are unlike anywhere else in Silicon Valley: custom-built estates on acre-plus lots with ductwork that snakes through unheated crawlspaces, wine cellars, and home theaters. No two systems are alike, which is why we price every job in writing before touching a single vent. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Los Altos Hills Homes Are Different
Los Altos Hills sits at the base of the Santa Cruz Mountains, and that terrain shapes every job we do here. The town’s strict Hillside Residential zoning and minimum one-acre lots mean sprawling floor plans with multiple HVAC zones and duct runs that can stretch hundreds of feet through unconditioned spaces. We’ve cleaned ducts above vaulted ceilings in mid-century ranchers off Page Mill Road and below raised foundations in new estates near Purissima Road where the crawlspace drops twenty degrees in winter.
The Mediterranean climate brings hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters, but Los Altos Hills catches more fog and cooler nighttime temperatures than nearby Palo Alto. That temperature swing creates condensation in metal ductwork during winter months, which mixes with dust and pollen that infiltrates during the dry season. Many homes rely on private propane tanks and well water, so there are no municipal gas utility easements. Ductwork is often routed through unconventional spaces like wine cellars or home theaters, and our trucks sometimes navigate steep driveways with limited turnaround space to reach them.
Our Main Los Altos Hills Services
Los Altos Hills homeowners call us most often for these three services, each with its own dedicated page and local pricing.
Air Duct Cleaning in Los Altos Hills
We clean supply and return ducts, registers, grilles, and the HVAC cabinet using a Rotobrush rotary brush system paired with a Nikro negative-air machine that pulls dislodged debris out of your home entirely. In Los Altos Hills, we regularly see systems with extraordinary duct runs through unheated attic spaces where dust compacts over years. We photograph the interior of your ducts before and after so you see the difference. Air Duct Cleaning in Los Altos Hills
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Los Altos Hills
Dryer vent cleaning removes lint buildup from the appliance through the exterior termination, reducing fire risk and improving drying efficiency. Los Altos Hills homes often have longer vent runs than standard suburban layouts due to sprawling floor plans and exterior dryer placements dictated by architectural design. We use rotary brushes and high-velocity air tools to clear the full run, then verify airflow at the termination. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Los Altos Hills
Duct Sealing in Los Altos Hills
Duct sealing closes leaks in your ductwork using mastic sealant and metal-backed tape at joints and connections, stopping conditioned air from escaping into attics and crawlspaces. In Los Altos Hills, where duct runs are long and pass through unconditioned spaces, even small leaks compound into significant energy loss. We pressurize the system and measure leakage before and after so you see the improvement in hard numbers. Duct Sealing in Los Altos Hills
