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 Placerville, CA
Air duct cleaning in Placerville typically runs $450 – $850 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. Hollis Air Duct Cleaning serves Placerville from our Sacramento dispatch office, sending background-checked, uniformed crews equipped with Rotobrush rotary brush systems and Nikro negative-air machines to homes throughout the Sierra foothills. Placerville’s mix of gold-rush-era Victorians and mid-century ranch homes presents unique challenges: original redwood and galvanized ductwork, wildfire smoke infiltration, and the seasonal temperature swings that come with elevation. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free written estimate.
Why Placerville Homes Are Different
Placerville sits at roughly 1,800 feet in the Sierra foothills, and that elevation matters for your ducts. Summer days push past 90°F while winter nights drop below freezing, so systems here work harder and longer than in the Sacramento Valley below. The surrounding Eldorado National Forest means pine pollen in spring, dust in dry summers, and increasingly, wildfire smoke that finds its way into attic and crawl-space duct runs.
The housing stock tells its own story. Downtown Placerville and neighborhoods like Hangtown Acres contain Victorian-era and mid-20th-century homes with original redwood or galvanized steel ducts, often undersized by modern standards and tucked into tight spaces. Outlying areas built in the 1970s through 1990s, including parts of Cameron Park and the Greenstone Road corridor, use flexible ductwork that sags and collects debris where it dips between joists. After major wildfires, we’ve found fine ash layered in return plenums that standard household vacuums simply can’t extract. Some older systems still carry asbestos tape on joints, which must be handled according to El Dorado County air quality rules, not cut or disturbed without proper containment.
Our Main Placerville Services
Most Placerville homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own page with full details, pricing, and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in Placerville
We clean supply and return ducts with a Rotobrush rotary brush system that scrubs the interior walls while a Nikro negative-air machine pulls loosened debris out of your home entirely. In Placerville, this matters especially after smoke events, when fine particulate settles in duct runs and recirculates each time the HVAC cycles. We inspect accessible trunk lines for asbestos tape before starting, and we photograph the before condition so you see what came out. Air Duct Cleaning in Placerville covers full pricing and what the visit includes.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Placerville
Lint accumulation in dryer vents is a leading cause of house fires, and Placerville’s dry summers and heating-season dryer use make this a year-round concern. We run a rotary brush through the full vent line to the exterior termination, measuring airflow before and after. Homes with longer vent runs through crawl spaces, common in the ranch-style builds off Missouri Flat Road, see the biggest improvement. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Placerville has full details.
Duct Sealing in Placerville
Leaky ducts in Placerville’s older homes waste conditioned air into attics and crawl spaces that see 120°F in summer and near-freezing in winter. We apply duct sealing mastic to accessible joints and use aerosolized sealant for leaks inside finished walls where hands can’t reach. The goal is straightforward: air you paid to heat or cool actually arrives in the rooms. Duct Sealing in Placerville explains how we test for leaks and what improvement to expect.
