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 Tustin, CA
Air duct cleaning in Tustin typically runs $350 – $650 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. What drives the real cost is the home’s age and duct type: Old Town’s 1920s bungalows need careful manual brushing around asbestos-wrapped lines, while Tustin Ranch’s sealed flex-duct systems require negative-air HEPA extraction to protect HERS-rated efficiency. We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Garrison Partners family, and we dispatch crews to Tustin from our Los Angeles office with Rotobrush and Nikro equipment, written prices agreed before we start, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise on every job. Call (361) 326-5060 for a free estimate.
Why Tustin Homes Are Different
Tustin sits in a gap where the Santa Ana Mountains funnel dry, particulate-heavy air straight through the city. After a Santa Ana wind event, our technicians find a distinct orange-brown film coating return plenums in homes facing the Cleveland National Forest foothills, a signature we don’t see in coastal Orange County. That mineral dust and pollen load means blower wheels and evaporator coils need more frequent attention here than in beach cities.
The housing stock splits sharply. Old Town Tustin has 1920s – 1950s bungalows with original gravity furnaces and undersized, often asbestos-wrapped ducts. Tustin Ranch, Northpark, and Tustin Legacy built out from the 1980s through the 2010s with flex-duct runs and sealed air handlers. The older homes need manual rotary brushing to avoid damaging fragile wraps; the newer ones need pressure-balanced negative-air cleaning so we don’t throw off the carefully calibrated airflow that HERS ratings depend on. Columbus Square and Arbor communities sit between the two eras, with mid-century systems that have been patched over multiple times. We adjust our approach before we unload the van.
Our Main Tustin Services
Most Tustin homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own page with full detail on methods, pricing, and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in Tustin
Whole-system cleaning for the supply and return trunk lines, branch ducts, and registers. In Tustin, we size the method to the duct type: rotary brush with HEPA containment for the rigid metal in Old Town homes, negative-air extraction for the flex-duct in Tustin Ranch and Legacy builds. We inspect with a camera before and after, and the homeowner sees the difference. Air Duct Cleaning in Tustin covers full pricing and scheduling.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Tustin
Lint accumulation in dryer vents is a fire hazard and a efficiency killer. Tustin’s dry climate means lint packs hard; Santa Ana winds can backdraft through poorly terminated exterior vents. We pull the line, rotary-brush the full run, and verify airflow with a meter. If the vent termination is damaged, we note it and price replacement in writing before touching it. Full details are on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Tustin page.
Duct Sealing in Tustin
Leaky ducts waste 20 – 30% of conditioned air in a typical home. In Tustin Legacy’s tightly sealed systems, even small leaks throw off room-to-room balance and spike energy bills. We pressurize the system, locate leaks with a smoke pencil or digital probe, then seal with mastic or aerosol sealant depending on access. The work is verified with a post-seal pressure test. See Duct Sealing in Tustin for full scope and cost.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Tustin
No permit is required for standard cleaning. Duct sealing that modifies the plenum or adds new returns may need Tustin building department sign-off; we handle the paperwork if it applies and include any permit cost in the written price. Call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll check your specific scope.
Tustin’s position in the mountain gap means fine dust loads are heavier than coastal cities. Most Tustin homes benefit from cleaning every 3 – 5 years, but homes facing the Cleveland National Forest foothills often need blower and coil service every 2 – 3 years after heavy wind seasons. We inspect and advise per home, not by calendar.
Yes. Tustin Ranch, Legacy, and Columbus Square associations often have vendor insurance requirements or gate codes. We carry full documentation and coordinate with property managers when needed. Tell us your community name when you call (361) 326-5060 and we’ll confirm compliance before booking.
