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 Palm Springs, CA
Air duct cleaning in Palm Springs runs $300 – $600 for a typical single-system home, with most jobs completed in one visit. The real difference here isn’t pollen or pet dander, it’s desert sand. The Coachella Valley’s seasonal dust storms and pre-monsoon haboobs force fine grit through even sealed HVAC systems, making duct cleaning a recurring maintenance need rather than a once-a-decade service. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and we dispatch crews from our Inland Empire office to handle Palm Springs jobs with equipment built for desert conditions. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Palm Springs Homes Are Different
Palm Springs sits in a basin where the San Jacinto Mountains block coastal moisture and the Colorado Desert pushes dry, sandy air straight through town. Summer highs crack 110°F, so HVAC systems run almost year-round, and every cycle pulls more dust into the ductwork. After a windstorm, our techs regularly find sand piled like snowdrifts inside return ducts and coating blower motors. Homes in Vista Las Palmas and the Movie Colony still carry original rigid metal ductwork from the 1940s – 1970s, with short runs and flat-roof access that makes cleaning straightforward but reveals decades of accumulated grit. Newer construction toward the east uses flexible ducting that can sag and trap dust in low spots. Low humidity keeps particles fine and airborne, which means simple blowing won’t cut it; extraction has to be thorough. Many neighborhoods operate under HOAs with maintenance schedules, and we’ve found those homes often need more frequent service because of the shared wall penetrations and centralized mechanical systems.
Our Main Palm Springs Services
Most Palm Springs homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own page with full pricing, process details, and neighborhood-specific notes.
Air Duct Cleaning in Palm Springs
We clean the full supply and return network with a Rotobrush rotary brush system and Nikro negative-air machine, pulling sand and dust out rather than pushing it deeper. In Palm Springs, we pay special attention to blower compartments and evaporator coils, where desert grit acts like sandpaper on moving parts. The job includes before-and-after photos of your own ducts, not stock images. Air Duct Cleaning in Palm Springs
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Palm Springs
Lint buildup is universal, but Palm Springs adds a wrinkle: fine desert dust mixes with lint to form dense, almost concrete-like blockages, especially in longer vent runs through attic spaces common in mid-century homes. We use high-velocity air tools and rotary whips to clear the full run, then verify airflow with a meter. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Palm Springs
Duct Sealing in Palm Springs
Original metal ducts in older Palm Springs homes leak at every joint and seam, pulling attic sand directly into conditioned air. We seal accessible ductwork with mastic and mesh, then pressure-test to verify results. In homes with flexible ducting, we replace crushed or sagging sections before sealing.

What pushes Palm Springs prices higher: homes with original rigid ductwork often need extra time for register removal and resealing, and roof-access dryer vents require ladder work in summer heat. What doesn’t change the price: we write the number down before touching anything, and it doesn’t move at the door. One flat price per system, agreed in advance.
