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 Sunbury, OH
Air duct cleaning in Sunbury typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and we dispatch crews to Sunbury from our Cleveland office. What makes Sunbury different from other Columbus-area towns is the split personality of its housing stock: original village homes built in the 1970s and 80s sit just minutes from new subdivisions like The Retreat at Sunbury, and each needs a completely different approach to duct cleaning. Call us at (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Sunbury Homes Are Different
Sunbury’s transformation from quiet village to booming Columbus exurb created two distinct duct environments within a few miles of each other. In the older village core, we find rigid metal ductwork that has accumulated decades of dust, pollen, and debris. These systems often have leaks at the joints that pull in attic or crawl space air, and the metal trunk lines can harbor buildup that requires a rotary brush system to dislodge properly.
The newer subdivisions, The Retreat at Sunbury and Sunbury Meadows, tell a different story. Built tight to modern energy codes with flexible ductwork, these homes trap construction debris, drywall dust, and insulation particles that circulate through the system for the first several years after move-in. We’ve found that new Sunbury homeowners often don’t realize their “new home smell” is actually particulate matter being distributed by the HVAC system.
Sunbury’s humid continental climate adds another variable. Hot, sticky summers and cold winters mean HVAC systems run hard for most of the year. Spring pollen from surrounding Delaware County farmland and fall leaf debris get pulled into return air pathways. The combination of heavy use and seasonal allergen loads means ducts here accumulate faster than in more temperate markets.
Our Main Sunbury Services
Most Sunbury homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own dedicated page with full details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Sunbury
Whole-system cleaning for Sunbury homes uses either a rotary brush system or negative-air method depending on duct type. In older village homes with metal trunk lines, we typically deploy Rotobrush equipment to mechanically scrub the interior surfaces. For newer flexible ductwork in The Retreat at Sunbury and similar subdivisions, we often use Nikro negative-air machines to extract construction debris without damaging the lighter-gauge material. Every job gets a written price before we start and is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Air Duct Cleaning in Sunbury
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Sunbury
Dryer vent cleaning in Sunbury addresses a specific fire safety and efficiency concern. The longer vent runs common in newer two-story homes in Sunbury Meadows and The Retreat at Sunbury create more points where lint can accumulate and restrict airflow. We clean the full run from dryer to exterior termination, verify airflow with a meter, and note any code issues with the vent routing. This is a scheduled service, not an emergency call, and we price it in writing before arrival. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Sunbury
Duct Sealing in Sunbury
Duct sealing in Sunbury targets the leaks that waste conditioned air and pull in unfiltered attic or crawl space air. In older village homes, we often find separated joints at metal trunk line connections. In newer construction, the issue is frequently gaps at the air handler cabinet or poorly sealed register boots. We apply mastic sealant and metal-backed tape by hand, then verify results. Sealing is particularly effective in Sunbury’s tight new homes, where even small leaks pressurize wall cavities and drive moisture problems. Duct Sealing in Sunbury
