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 Montebello, CA
Air duct cleaning in Montebello typically runs $300 – $600 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and we dispatch crews to Montebello from our Los Angeles office to handle the specific challenges of this city’s older housing stock: original ductwork from the 1920s – 1960s, tight unlined attics, and decades of accumulated debris that newer suburbs simply don’t face. If you’re ready to book, call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free written estimate.
Why Montebello Homes Are Different
Montebello is built out. There are no new subdivisions here, no tract homes with clean, accessible flex-duct runs. What we find instead are single-family homes and small duplexes from the post-war boom, many still running on original sheet-metal or early flex-duct systems installed when gravity furnaces were standard.
That matters for how we work. Low, unlined attics in neighborhoods near Whittier Boulevard and the 60 Freeway mean our technicians crawl through tight spaces with Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-air equipment designed for exactly these conditions. The hot, dry San Gabriel Valley summers push residents to run central air heavily from June through September, pulling fine dust, pollen, and smog particulate into ducts that may never have held a proper filter. In homes built before filter slots were standard, we regularly find return ducts coated with a thick gray paste of dust and oily residue, sometimes mistaken for mold. It’s not. It’s decades of traffic soot, wildfire ash, and settled cooking grease that finally needs to come out.
Because these are multi-generational homes, we also see pest debris, old insulation fragments, and retrofitted HVAC additions that never got sealed properly. The job here isn’t maintenance on a modern system. It’s restoration work on infrastructure that predates most of the equipment we use.
Our Main Montebello Services
Most calls from Montebello fall into three categories. Each has its own page with detailed pricing, process, and local specifics.
Air Duct Cleaning in Montebello
We clean the full supply and return network with rotary brush contact and negative-air containment, pulling debris out rather than pushing it deeper. In Montebello’s pre-1960s homes, this often means navigating original gravity-furnace ducting with no filter slot and joints that have never been sealed. We photograph the before condition, clean every accessible run, and show you the after. Air Duct Cleaning in Montebello covers full pricing and what to expect on your specific home type.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Montebello
Dryer vent blockages are a genuine fire hazard, especially in older Montebello homes where vents may run through walls or under the house with multiple turns. We clear the full run from appliance to exterior termination, test airflow, and flag any code issues. If your dryer takes two cycles or the laundry room heats up, the vent is likely restricted. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Montebello has the full breakdown.
Duct Sealing in Montebello
Original Montebello ductwork leaks. It’s sheet metal with failing tape, or early flex duct with torn sleeves. We seal accessible joints with mastic and apply aerosolized sealant where appropriate, measured by pre- and post-pressure testing. The goal is air that reaches the rooms it’s supposed to reach, not the attic or crawl space. Duct Sealing in Montebello explains the process and what savings to expect.

We typically schedule Montebello appointments within 3 – 5 business days, sometimes sooner depending on route density. Calls are answered by a live person 24/7, so you can book evenings or weekends if that’s easier.
