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 Yonkers, NY
Air duct cleaning in Yonkers runs between $390 and $860 for a typical home, and the work looks different here than it does in neighboring Westchester suburbs. Most Yonkers homes weren’t built with ducts at all – they were designed for radiators. When central air was retrofitted decades later, ductwork got squeezed into closets, chases, and damp basements, and that’s exactly why Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning approaches every Yonkers job with a written price in your hand before a single vent is touched. Call (469) 972-3151 for a free estimate.
Why Yonkers Homes Are Different
Yonkers is a river city first and a suburb second. The housing stock along the Hudson, through Ludlow, and up toward the Nepperhan Avenue corridor is overwhelmingly pre-war attached row houses and multi-family brick buildings from the 1910s through the 1940s. These buildings were built for steam and hot-water radiators – there was no ductwork, no forced air, no central system to speak of. When homeowners and landlords retrofitted central air or forced-air heat decades later, the duct runs went wherever they could fit: through closets, up repurposed utility chases, across damp basement ceilings. Those retrofit paths are rarely straight and rarely sealed properly.
The practical result is that Yonkers ducts accumulate debris faster than the factory-designed systems you find in purpose-built suburban homes. Runs dip and bend. Returns pull air from damp basement corners. And because the city sits directly on the Hudson, that moisture stays in the air year-round, especially in the waterfront and west-side neighborhoods, feeding mold and biofilm growth inside ductwork. Add in Westchester winters, where forced-air heat runs nearly nonstop from late October through early April, and a single season can drive a surprising amount of contamination deep into the runs. In Yonkers, duct cleaning isn’t routine maintenance on a clean system – it’s often the first deep clean a retrofit system has ever had.
Our Main Yonkers Services
Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning focuses on two jobs in Yonkers, each with its own dedicated page so you can see exactly what’s involved before you call.
Air Duct Cleaning in Yonkers
Our core service is a full-system air duct cleaning built around negative-air extraction: a Nikro or Abatement Technologies unit seals to your ductwork and pulls the system under vacuum while a Rotobrush rotary brush agitates debris loose from the duct walls, so loosened particles get captured by the HEPA filtration instead of drifting back into your living space. That matters in Yonkers, where the century-old industrial stock along the old carpet-mill waterfront left fine particulate that standard cleaning cycles underestimate. If that work reveals damaged or failing duct runs in your retrofit system, we’ll show you photos and quote a repair before any repair work starts. Air Duct Cleaning in Yonkers.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Yonkers
Yonkers dryer vents run through some of the longest, snakiest pathways in the county – up from basement laundry rooms, between walls in attached row houses, out through flat or low-slope roofs. Every foot of that run collects lint, and when the path is old masonry or unsealed chases in a pre-war building, the buildup compounds quickly. We pull the dryer, use a rotary brush and HEPA negative-pressure extraction on the full vent line, and check the termination point from both ends. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Yonkers.

What Yonkers 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."
