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 Oakhurst, CA
Air duct cleaning in Oakhurst, CA typically costs $300 – $600 for a whole-home system and addresses a specific mountain-town problem: pine needles, oak pollen, wildfire ash, and creosote residue from wood stoves that standard valley cleaning doesn’t touch. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and our crews serve Oakhurst from our Los Angeles dispatch office with Rotobrush rotary systems and Nikro negative-air machines built for the debris we find here. Call (361) 326-5060 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why Oakhurst Homes Are Different
Oakhurst sits at the southern gateway to Yosemite, and that mountain location shapes every duct job we do. The surrounding Sierra National Forest pumps pine pollen through HVAC systems each spring, while summer and fall wildfires, plus frequent prescribed burns, load ducts with fine ash that smells like a campfire weeks later. Many homes still use wood stoves or fireplaces as secondary heat, so creosote odors and soot circulate through ductwork that standard cleaning barely touches.
The housing stock here runs from 1960s cabins with original galvanized or flex duct to newer custom builds on rural parcels. Crawlspace and attic duct runs are common, and they’re prone to rodent intrusion and debris accumulation. The vacation-rental mix means some systems sit idle for months, letting dust and pests settle before the next booking. Hot, dry summers and cold winters force heavy seasonal HVAC use, cycling contaminants through the house year-round. When we open a return-air plenum in Oakhurst, it’s often in a garage or crawlspace where ash has settled thickest.
Our Main Oakhurst Services
Most Oakhurst homeowners call us for one of three jobs, each shaped by the mountain climate and housing stock here.
Air Duct Cleaning in Oakhurst
Our Air Duct Cleaning in Oakhurst targets the pollen, ash, and creosote residue that mountain living pulls into your system. We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems on flex duct and Nikro negative-air machines on rigid lines, adjusting the method to what your home’s age and duct type require. After wildfire season, we often find return plenums clogged with fine ash that standard valley cleaning misses entirely.
Duct Sealing in Oakhurst
Our Duct Sealing in Oakhurst fixes the leaks that let crawlspace dust, garage fumes, and attic heat into your airflow. Original galvanized duct from the 1960s and 1970s develops gaps at seams; flex duct gets punctured by rodents or crushed by storage. We apply duct sealing mastic and mechanical fasteners, then test with a pressure gauge to confirm the seal holds.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Oakhurst
No permit is required for standard duct cleaning or dryer vent cleaning in Madera County. Duct sealing that involves modifying or replacing duct sections may need a permit if it alters the HVAC system’s capacity; we flag this during estimate and can advise on the process. Call (361) 326-5060 if you’re unsure about your specific job.
We prioritize post-fire calls because ash in ducts degrades air quality fast. Scheduling is coordinated from our Los Angeles office, and we typically book Oakhurst appointments within a few business days. Same-week service is often available during active wildfire response periods.
