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 Oxford, MA
Air duct cleaning in Oxford, MA runs between $350 and $600 for most homes, depending on system size and how long it’s been since the last cleaning. We’re Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning, and we work on the ranch, cape, and split-level homes that dominate Oxford’s housing stock. What makes Oxford jobs different is the French River valley humidity and a heating season that stretches from mid-October into late April, which together mean ductwork here loads up with biological growth and particulate faster than it does in drier or coastal towns. Call (469) 972-3151 for a written price before any work begins.
Why Oxford Homes Are Different
Oxford sits in the French River valley, ringed by Worcester County woodland and wetlands including Buffumville Lake. That geography creates a persistently humid microclimate that accelerates mold and mildew growth inside forced-air ductwork. Homes here run furnaces and heat pumps harder and longer than coastal Massachusetts properties, and the return-air pathways pull in enough summer moisture off the lowlands to support mold colonization that would stay dry in towns further inland.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Most Oxford residences were built during the Route 20 corridor suburban expansion between the 1950s and 1980s, and their original sheet-metal ductwork is now 40 to 70 years old. We routinely find deteriorating insulation wrap, disconnected joints, and flex duct extensions that sag and trap standing debris. The older in-town properties near Oxford Common, many dating to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, were retrofitted with forced-air systems in layouts never designed for ductwork, which creates awkward runs where dust and dander collect quickly.
Our Main Oxford Services
Oxford homeowners call us most often for two jobs, and each has its own detailed Oxford page below.
Air Duct Cleaning in Oxford
We pull the registers, agitate the duct walls with a rotary brush, and run negative-air extraction to keep loosened debris out of your living space. In Oxford’s post-war ranches, we frequently find flex duct runs off the original rigid trunk lines that have developed sags, and those sags trap standing debris that a basic vacuum pass will never reach. Read the full breakdown, including Oxford-specific pricing and what the job involves, on our Air Duct Cleaning in Oxford page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Oxford
Oxford’s long heating season means dryers run frequently, and the lint that bypasses the trap accumulates in the vent run behind the wall. We clean the full vent length from the dryer to the exterior termination, and we explain the lint trap bypass in plain terms so you know exactly what we found. See how it works and what it costs on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Oxford page.

What Oxford Customers Say
"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."
- Terrence Boyd"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."
