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 Angeles, CA
Air duct cleaning in Los Angeles typically runs $350 – $650 for a standard single-system home, with most jobs completed in one visit. What makes Los Angeles different is the housing stock: crews here need to be fluent in 1920s gravity furnaces, mid-century asbestos-wrapped ducts, and modern high-rise shared ventilation, all within the same service day. Hollis Air Duct Cleaning dispatches from our Los Angeles office, and you can reach us at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Los Angeles Homes Are Different
Los Angeles has perhaps the most extreme housing diversity of any U.S. city, and that changes nearly every job we do. In central neighborhoods like Echo Park or West Adams, we regularly encounter 1900s Craftsman and Spanish Colonial bungalows with original unsealed metal ducts or haphazard replacement flex duct from the 1980s. Cross the hill into the San Fernando Valley and we’re in 1950s – 60s tract ranches where original asbestos-wrapped ductwork and gravity furnaces are still common; “duct cleaning” often becomes a hazardous-material referral before a brush ever touches metal.
The climate shapes the work too. Los Angeles’ mild, dry weather means HVAC systems run year-round with lower baseline dust than colder cities, but wildfire seasons change everything. After the 2025 Palisades and Eaton Fires, we saw ash infiltration through return ducts spike demand across the metro. Santa Ana winds push outdoor particulate through leaky systems in older homes, especially in the Valley and foothill neighborhoods. Downtown and Century City high-rises present their own puzzle: engineered central air with complex shared ventilation that requires coordination with building engineers before we can access anything.
Our Main Los Angeles Services
Most Los Angeles homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own dedicated page with full pricing, process details, and neighborhood-specific notes.
Air Duct Cleaning in Los Angeles
Our Air Duct Cleaning in Los Angeles covers the full supply and return system with a Rotobrush rotary brush system or Nikro negative-air machine, depending on duct material and access. In Los Angeles, we often find layered dust mixed with wildfire ash in returns, or flex duct that has sagged between floor joists in older bungalows. We photograph the interior before and after so you see what came out.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Los Angeles
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Los Angeles removes lint buildup from the appliance through the exterior termination. In Los Angeles, long vent runs through stucco or tile roofs are common, especially in hillside homes where the dryer sits far from an exterior wall. We check airflow with an anemometer before we leave and note any crushed or kinked flex transitions that need replacement.
Duct Sealing in Los Angeles
Our Duct Sealing in Los Angeles closes leaks with mastic or aerosol sealant, depending on access. This matters especially in Los Angeles’ older homes with unsealed metal plenums or deteriorated flex connections, and in post-fire zones where ash infiltration has revealed gaps in the return path. Sealed ducts also cut the cooling load during Santa Ana wind events when every leak pulls in hot outdoor air.
