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 New Haven, CT
Air duct cleaning in New Haven typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. We price every job in writing before we start, and every cleaning is backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. New Haven’s mix of pre-war multi-families, post-war ranches, and heavy tree canopy creates duct problems you won’t find in newer suburbs, from coal-dust residue in East Rock supply runs to crushed flex-duct in student rentals near Yale. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why New Haven Homes Are Different
New Haven’s housing stock breaks into three distinct problem sets. In Fair Haven, Wooster Square, and East Rock, we regularly open ducts to find decades of coal-dust and soot residue from original gravity furnaces still coating galvanized supply runs. These homes were retrofitted with cheap metal ductwork in the 1950s – 70s, often undersized and uninsulated in cold attics.
In Westville and West Rock, the post-war ranches carry their own burden: undersized trunk lines that can’t move enough air for modern HVAC loads, plus crawlspaces where humidity from Long Island Sound settles into every seam. The city’s street-tree program and ivy-covered brick façades clog high side-wall vents with elm and maple seeds, dropping airflow and causing freeze-ups in summer.
The large student rental stock near campus means we often find flex-duct runs crushed or disconnected by careless renovations between tenant turnovers, blowing conditioned air into walls and attics instead of rooms.
Our Main New Haven Services
Most New Haven homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own page with detailed pricing, local conditions, and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in New Haven
We clean supply and return ductwork with Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines, pulling debris out rather than pushing it deeper. In New Haven, this often means starting with coal-dust residue in pre-war homes, then addressing mold-prone galvanized runs in humid crawlspaces. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after. Air Duct Cleaning in New Haven covers full pricing and what’s included.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in New Haven
Dryer vents in New Haven’s older multi-families often run through multiple floors with sharp elbows that lint packs against, especially in three-deckers with original vent routing. We clear the full run from appliance to termination, check airflow with a meter, and verify the exterior cap opens fully. Dryer Vent Cleaning in New Haven has full details.
Duct Sealing in New Haven
Leaky ducts waste 20 – 30% of conditioned air in typical New Haven homes, more in properties with 1950s retrofits or student-repair damage. We seal joints and seams with mastic and mechanical fasteners, then pressure-test to verify. This matters most in homes with uninsulated attic or crawlspace runs. Duct Sealing in New Haven explains the process and pricing.

What pushes New Haven prices up: multiple systems in three-deckers, heavy coal-dust buildup requiring extra agitation time, and access issues like sealed attic hatches or flooded crawlspaces after winter ice penetration. What doesn’t change the price: we quote one flat rate per system before we start, and that number is the number on the invoice.
