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 Heath, OH
Air duct cleaning in Heath, Ohio runs between $450 and $900 for most homes, depending on system size and how long it’s been since the last cleaning. Heath jobs are shaped by the city’s two big influences: large custom homes built from the mid-1990s through the 2010s, and a position along the Licking County prairie edge where fields and farmland throw more dust and pollen into the air than you’d guess. Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning handles both of Heath’s core services, and each has its own page linked below. Call (469) 972-3151 for a written quote before any work begins.
Why Heath Homes Are Different
Most Heath homes we walk into are 2,800 to 4,500 square feet with multi-zone HVAC systems and long flex-duct runs staged through unconditioned attics. Those attics bake in Ohio summers and freeze in winter, which means duct liner degrades faster here than in tighter, newer construction. The specific problem we see repeatedly in Heath is separated connections at the plenum and return-air boots: the flex-duct pulls loose where it meets the metal, and the system starts pulling attic air – dust, fiberglass particles, the occasional mouse nest – directly into the living space. That’s a Heath-specific pattern tied directly to the housing stock’s age and the attic staging, and it’s why a routine cleaning here often turns up damage that has been silently compromising air quality for years.
Heath’s position matters too. The village sits between Newark and Hebron, with open agricultural land on several sides. Spring planting and fall harvest kick up fine soil and crop dust. Homes on the north and west sides of Heath, closer to those fields, accumulate debris faster than homes tucked into the village center. And because Heath grew in phases across the 1990s and 2000s, two homes on the same street can have entirely different duct layouts. One might be metal trunk-and-branch; the next might be full flex. Pricing and timing shift accordingly, which is one more reason we quote only after looking at the actual system.
Our Main Heath Services
Heath homeowners call us most often about two jobs: whole-system air duct cleaning, and dryer vent cleaning. Each service has a dedicated Heath page with full details, local pricing, and what to expect on the day of the visit.
Air Duct Cleaning in Heath
In a typical Heath home, air duct cleaning means opening the supply and return sides, agitating debris loose with a rotary brush, and extracting it under negative pressure so nothing re-enters the living space. The job usually takes four to seven hours, depending on the number of zones and how much attic-staged flex-duct is involved. Heath’s larger homes with three or four zones run toward the upper end of that range. We document before-and-after photos from inside the ducts, and every job carries a written 365-Day Done Right Promise. See the full breakdown on Air Duct Cleaning in Heath.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Heath
Dryer vent cleaning in Heath is a modest job that prevents a serious one. Lint accumulates inside the vent pipe, and in homes where the dryer sits against an interior wall with a long vertical run through the roof, that accumulation happens faster. Heath’s housing stock from the 1990s and 2000s frequently uses longer vent routes than newer builds, which means more surface area for lint to collect and more resistance for the dryer to push against. We clean the full run from dryer to exterior termination, verify airflow at the exit point, and leave the area cleaner than we found it. Details are on Dryer Vent Cleaning in Heath.

What Heath Customers Say
"My wife's allergies were awful every morning. Had the ducts done and it's made a real difference. Tech was on time and wore booties in the house without me asking."
- Rob Pendergast"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."
