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 Lowell, MA
Air duct cleaning in Lowell, MA typically costs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. Lowell’s dense stock of 19th-century textile-mill worker tenements and converted mill buildings means duct cleaning here is as much about clearing a century of lint, coal dust, and mouse-nested debris as it is about modern HVAC maintenance. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and our crews handle the specific challenges of Lowell’s aging housing stock, from triple-decker shared flues to galvanized returns that haven’t been opened since the Coolidge administration. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Lowell Homes Are Different
Lowell’s housing is dominated by 1880 – 1920 triple-deckers, Greek Revival worker cottages, and massive brick mill complexes converted to apartments and offices. Many still run on original or poorly retrofitted sheet-metal ducts and galvanized returns that trap decades of debris. Cold, snowy New England winters and humid summers mean systems run hard year-round; seasonal condensation in uninsulated attic and basement ducts can breed mold, while winter ice dams and spring melt often push water into ductwork.
In the Acre and Lower Highlands, triple-decker ductwork often shares a single furnace flue or has been illegally tapped across units. Our technicians regularly find cross-connected systems and code violations that require coordination with the city’s inspectional services. That extra layer of complexity is why we price in writing before we touch anything, and why we carry the full range of rotary brush and negative-air equipment on every Lowell truck.
Our Main Lowell Services
Lowell homeowners call us most often for these three jobs, each with its own local conditions and pricing.
Air Duct Cleaning in Lowell
Our Air Duct Cleaning in Lowell service targets the built-up debris common in mill-era housing: coal dust residue, decades of lint accumulation, and rodent nesting material in basement trunk lines. We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines to dislodge and extract without spreading contamination through the living space. Every job gets a written price before we start and before-and-after photos of your own ducts, not stock images.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lowell
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Lowell addresses a genuine fire hazard in older multi-family buildings where vents run through shared walls or terminate in attic spaces against modern code. We clear blockages with professional-grade brushes and airflow meters to verify performance, not guesswork. In converted mill buildings with long horizontal runs, we often find crushed or sagging flex duct that needs replacement, flagged and priced before any work begins.
Duct Sealing in Lowell
Our Duct Sealing in Lowell service fixes the air loss that drives up heating bills in drafty triple-deckers and cottages with original tin ductwork. We apply mastic sealant and mechanical fasteners to leaks at joints and seams, then test with a duct blaster to measure improvement. Sealing is especially effective in Lowell homes where gaps in basement trunk lines pull in musty air and distribute it through the whole house.
