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 Pomona, CA
Air duct cleaning in Pomona runs between $450 and $1,300 for a full-system cleaning, depending on home size and how much has accumulated inside the ducts. We’re Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning, and we work on the tract homes and older builds that fill this city, where decades of Santa Ana wind deposits and long cooling seasons leave ducts far dirtier than the square footage suggests. Call (469) 972-3151 for a written quote before any work begins.
Why Pomona Homes Are Different
Pomona sits at the eastern mouth of the LA Basin, where the Pomona Valley funnels Santa Ana winds directly into the city. Those winds carry desert dust, grit, and during fire years, ash from Inland Empire passes. Meanwhile, the San Gabriel Mountains trap that same particulate-laden air over the valley as smog. Your HVAC system is pulling in windborne debris through outdoor intakes while operating inside one of the toughest chronic-air-quality zones in California. Duct contamination here accumulates measurably faster than in coastal cities or even mid-valley towns like Claremont or West Covina.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Most Pomona homes built from the late 1940s through the 1970s around Garey Avenue and east of downtown still run original sheet-metal or early flex-duct systems. Those ducts were never engineered for the hundred-degree summers that push air conditioners into long daily cycles, pulling huge volumes of outdoor air through them every season. We routinely find disconnected joints, sagged flex runs, and insulation breakdown. Each one creates a pocket where dust and allergens collect and recirculate. Homes along the 60 Freeway corridor get a distinct signature: technicians regularly pull dark, diesel-tinged deposits from ducts that look more like commercial kitchen grease-filter debris than household dust. It comes from one of the heaviest truck-traffic corridors serving the Inland Empire logistics zone, directly upwind of neighborhood intakes.
Our Main Pomona Services
These are the two jobs Pomona homeowners call us about most, and each has its own page with full details and pricing.
Air Duct Cleaning in Pomona
Full-system air duct cleaning here means pulling built-up dust, grit, and the fine particulate that Santa Ana winds push through outdoor intakes. We use negative-air extraction, which means a strong vacuum pulls contaminants out of the ducts while a rotating brush dislodges debris stuck to the duct walls. The work covers supply and return ducts, registers, and the main trunk lines. On Pomona’s aging flex-duct systems, we check for sagged runs and disconnected joints while cleaning, since those are the places dust accumulates fastest. Read the full breakdown on our Air Duct Cleaning in Pomona page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pomona
Dryer vents in Pomona collect lint faster because high summer heat means more frequent drying cycles. Add the fine desert dust that settles through wall cavities and roof vents, and a vent can pack tight enough to restrict airflow within a couple of years. We clean the full vent run from the dryer to the exterior exit, clearing lint and checking for the bird nests and rodent debris common in the valley. The full scope and pricing are on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pomona page.

What pushes a Pomona job toward the higher end is the age of the system. Original sheet-metal ducts from the postwar era often need extra brush passes to break loose decades of caked-on particulate, and homes near the 60 Freeway corridor frequently have the diesel-tinged deposits that take longer to fully extract. Whatever the range, the written price is in your hands before any work starts. That’s not a promotional offer. It’s a standing commitment on every visit, no exceptions.

What Pomona 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."
