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 Vacaville, CA
Air duct cleaning in Vacaville costs between $350 and $650 for most single-family homes, and the job takes about three to five hours. Vacaville’s housing stock and wind corridor location mean the ducts here fill with a heavier mix of debris than you’d find in neighboring cities: agricultural dust from the Sacramento Valley, wildfire smoke from the Napa and Sierra foothills, and deteriorating flex duct liner from homes built during the 1980s-2000s boom. If you’re seeing dust settle back on furniture within days of cleaning, or your AC bill keeps climbing despite a new filter, the ducts are usually the culprit. Call (469) 972-3151 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Why Vacaville Homes Are Different
Vacaville sits in the Solano wind corridor, the gap in the Coast Range that funnels air directly from the Central Valley into town. That air carries fine agricultural particulates, wildfire smoke drifting from fires to the west and east, and the general summer haze of the valley floor. Homes here pull that air through their HVAC intakes four to five months straight, because summers routinely run 100-105°F and central AC never really rests. The result is a depth of contamination that Davis or Napa homes simply don’t accumulate at the same rate.
Then there’s the housing stock. Most of Vacaville’s subdivisions went up between the mid-1980s and the early 2000s, built quickly with builder-grade flexible ductwork. That duct is now 25-40 years old. Under Vacaville’s sustained attic heat, the long horizontal runs sag between supports, joints separate, and the inner liners degrade. We routinely find original 3-lb-density flex duct in the large 1990s tracts off Alamo Drive and throughout the Browns Valley area that has belly-sagged into low spots, trapping agricultural dust, rodent droppings, and insulation fibers. It’s a specific failure pattern tied to tract-era shortcuts and triple-digit attic temperatures, and it’s one we know how to diagnose and correct.
Our Main Vacaville Services
Two jobs account for nearly every call we take from Vacaville homeowners: cleaning the HVAC ducts and clearing the dryer vent. Each has its own page with pricing, timelines, and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in Vacaville
We clean the full duct system: supply and return runs, trunk lines, and the plenum. Our crews use Rotobrush rotary agitation to dislodge debris at the duct wall plus Nikro negative-pressure extraction to pull loosened material out of the system without pushing it into your living space. In Vacaville, we pay special attention to sagging flex duct runs in attics, where valley dust and degraded liner material pack into low points. Most homes run between $350 and $650, depending on system size and accessibility. See the full breakdown on Air Duct Cleaning in Vacaville.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Vacaville
A clogged dryer vent in a Vacaville summer means your dryer runs longer against 100°F ambient air, and lint trapped behind the dryer builds heat and fire risk. We clean the full vent run from the dryer to the exterior termination, including the lint trap bypass where most blockages start. In the pre-1990 homes and newer two-story builds across the city, we often find kinked or sagging flex vent that blocks airflow even after the lint is removed. Our page on Dryer Vent Cleaning in Vacaville covers pricing and process in detail.

What Vacaville Customers Say
"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."
- 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."
