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 Simi Valley, CA
Air duct cleaning in Simi Valley runs between $390 and $690 for a whole-home system on a typical 1,500 to 2,200 square foot house. What makes Simi Valley work different from a coastal job is the geography: the valley sits in a bowl ringed by the Santa Susana Mountains and Simi Hills, so wildfire smoke settles into homes instead of blowing through, and summer temps over 100°F push HVAC systems to run long daily cycles that pull more dust through the ducts. Call (469) 972-3151 for a written price before any work begins.
Why Simi Valley Homes Are Different
Simi Valley exploded as a planned bedroom community between the late 1950s and mid-1980s, which means most of the housing stock is 1960s-to-1980s tract construction. Those homes were built with original flex-duct or early sheet-metal systems that, in many cases, have never been replaced. In summer, attics here routinely bake above 140°F, and flex duct that has spent 40 years in that kind of heat collapses or separates at the joints. When a duct separates in an attic, the system starts pulling attic dust and insulation fibers directly into the living space. That’s a Simi Valley-specific failure pattern we see constantly.
The other factor is fire. The 2019 Easy Fire burned inside city limits near the Reagan Library and drove fine ash deep into thousands of residential duct systems. Technicians working homes north and east of the 118 Freeway, the tracts closest to the hillside fire corridors, regularly find ductwork coated in a fine gray-tan ash residue that is not ordinary household dust. Homeowners often connect the smell or the respiratory irritation to the fire months earlier, but they don’t realize the ducts are still holding that particulate until we open a return register and show them.
Added to that, seasonal Santa Ana winds carry fine particulate matter off the open hillsides and chaparral straight into the valley, and the inland summer heat forces longer HVAC cycles than coastal homes ever experience. All of it lands in the ductwork.
Our Main Simi Valley Services
Simi Valley homeowners call us about two things, and each has its own page with local pricing, local conditions, and what the job looks like start to finish in this valley.
Air Duct Cleaning in Simi Valley
Whole-home Air Duct Cleaning in Simi Valley is the job where we address the aging ducting, the fire ash, and the accumulated dust as one system. We use negative-air extraction, meaning a powerful vacuum pulls airflow through the ducts while rotary brushes dislodge debris at the duct wall, and HEPA filtration keeps loosened particles out of the rooms while we work. On older Simi Valley tract homes, the work frequently includes repairing separated flex-duct joints that have been pulling attic air into the system for years.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Simi Valley
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Simi Valley clears the vent run from the dryer to the outside termination, which in many Simi Valley homes is a long, multi-bend run through the attic or a side wall. Lint buildup in those runs is a fire hazard, and a vent that has never been cleaned on a 1980s tract home is often carrying years of compacted lint. We clean the full run, inspect the termination, and leave the area cleaner than we found it.

Two things push a Simi Valley job toward the higher end of these ranges: homes with separated flex-duct joints in the attic, which add repair time, and post-fire ash that has compacted in the returns and needs more aggressive extraction. The written price is in your hands before a single vent is touched, and it is the number you pay, no door-step revisions.

What Simi Valley 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."
