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 Heathrow, FL
Air duct cleaning in Heathrow runs differently than in most Central Florida communities because the homes here were built in a tight window, mostly between the mid-1980s and early 2000s, and nearly all of them have now crossed the 20-year mark where original fiberglass-lined flex ductwork begins to fail. Heathrow homeowners reach out to us when they notice dust returning days after housekeeping, bedrooms that never cool evenly, or a musty smell from the vents when the AC kicks on. If that sounds familiar, call (469) 972-3151 and we’ll walk through what’s going on before recommending anything.
Why Heathrow Homes Are Different
Heathrow was developed almost all at once, which means the aging process is happening almost all at once too. The large 3,000 to 5,000-plus square foot homes built between 1985 and 2005 are now 20 to 35 years old, and their original fiberglass-lined flexible ductwork, stretched through hot unconditioned attics across complex two-story floor plans, has reached the age where interior liner degradation releases particulate directly into living areas. Communities that grew incrementally, like Sanford or Longwood, see scattered aging systems. Heathrow sees a concentrated wave.
Attic temperatures in Heathrow routinely exceed 130 or 140 degrees for much of the year. Those ducts carry cool conditioned air through that heat, cycling between extremes daily and creating condensation opportunities on the exterior and at joints. Inside the duct, poorly sealed seams pull humid attic air into the system. Run that pattern for two decades with year-round cooling, and the interior of a flex duct becomes a sticky, particulate-holding surface. We regularly find biological growth inside Heathrow duct liners that looks far worse than what the visible grilles suggest.
Our Main Heathrow Services
Heathrow homeowners call us most often for two jobs: full air duct system cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own Heathrow page with full details, pricing, and what to expect on the day.
Air Duct Cleaning in Heathrow
Air Duct Cleaning in Heathrow focuses on the long flex-duct runs and multiple air handlers common in this community. Many late-1990s builder homes here were designed with return-air grilles only in second-floor hallways and master suites, a cost-cutting choice that leaves first-floor living areas relying on gap leakage rather than dedicated returns. That starves the longer supply runs of proper airflow, causing debris to settle and compact in lower duct sections. Our negative-air extraction pulls contaminants out while a rotary brush dislodges material at the duct wall. See the full service page for pricing and process.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Heathrow
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Heathrow addresses another pattern we see often here: long vertical dryer vent runs that exit through roofs, standard in many two-story floor plans. These runs collect lint that gravity settles into dips and elbows, and a clogged vent forces the dryer to work harder while pushing damp, lint-laden air back toward the living space. Our technicians use HEPA-filtered negative-air equipment from Abatement Technologies so loosened lint doesn’t enter the home. The full Heathrow page covers what we do and what it costs.

Heathrow pricing skews higher than the Central Florida average because most homes here have multiple air handlers, 4 to 5 tons of capacity or more, and long flex-duct runs requiring additional access points and service time. Before any work begins, you’ll have a written price for the entire job in your hands, based on your specific system, not a per-vent rate that changes once we’re on site. We don’t change the number at the door.

What Heathrow 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."
