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 Fontana, CA
Air duct cleaning in Fontana runs between $395 and $995 for a typical single-system home, depending on square footage and how many years of Cajon Pass dust and I-10 freight-corridor soot the system has collected. We’re Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning, and we work differently than what many Fontana homeowners have come to expect: every job gets a written price before any work begins, and every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the work falls short within that year, we return and make it right at no charge. Call us at (469) 972-3151 for a free estimate.
Why Fontana Homes Are Different
Fontana sits at the western approach to the Cajon Pass, and that position shapes what accumulates inside the ductwork here more than almost any other factor. When Santa Ana wind events push through the pass, they funnel fine Mojave desert particulate directly into the community. At the same time, the I-10/I-15 freight corridor, one of the heaviest diesel-truck routes in the country, lays down a constant layer of ultrafine soot across surrounding neighborhoods. The result is a distinctly heavy, dark contamination profile that neighboring cities like Rancho Cucamonga or Rialto, even a few miles away, don’t experience at the same intensity.
Housing stock compounds the issue. Fontana’s rapid growth from the mid-1980s through the early 2000s produced vast tracts of builder-grade homes now 25 to 40 years old. Many still run original flex ductwork that has sagged, pulled apart at joints, or never been serviced. Technicians see the same undersized, poorly-supported duct configurations repeated block after block across these developments, and the debris buildup accelerates as a result. Summer temperatures routinely exceed 105°F, so HVAC systems run nearly continuously from May through October, pulling high volumes of outdoor air through ducts at sustained rates. Low humidity means particulate stays airborne longer before settling, which leads to dryer, grittier deposits inside the system.
Our Main Fontana Services
Two services account for nearly every call we receive from Fontana homeowners. Each has its own dedicated page with full detail on pricing and process.
Air Duct Cleaning in Fontana
Fontana ductwork carries a visible mix of diesel carbon and desert silica, especially in neighborhoods near the I-15 or along Foothill Boulevard close to the former Kaiser industrial corridor. We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems to dislodge debris at the duct wall, paired with Nikro negative-pressure units that pull contaminants out rather than stirring them through the living space. Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration keeps loosened particles from re-entering rooms during the job. For a full breakdown of what we do in Fontana, see Air Duct Cleaning in Fontana.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Fontana
The same fine Mojave dust that loads Fontana ductwork also packs into dryer vents, and the sustained heat of summer makes lint buildup dry out faster and ignite more readily. We pull the dryer, bypass the lint trap, and run a rotary brush the full length of the vent run to the exterior termination. Every job ends with a written airflow verification. Learn more on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Fontana page.

What Fontana Customers Say
"Bought an older home and the previous owners had pets everywhere. After Kestrel did the ducts the stale smell was just gone. On time, quick, and they showed me the filter they pulled."
- Preston Ngata"Our dryer was taking two cycles to dry a load. They cleaned the vent and pulled out a frightening amount of lint. Dries in one cycle now and honestly I feel better about the fire risk."
- Marcus Lee"Set up an appointment for the whole house plus the dryer line. They called the morning of to confirm, showed up in the window, and showed me pictures of the gunk they pulled out. Worth it."
