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 Newton, MA
Air duct cleaning in Newton runs between $450 and $950 for most homes, depending on system size and how long it’s been since the last cleaning. The work is different here than in most of the Greater Boston suburbs because Newton’s housing stock is old, heavily renovated, and full of improvised duct runs threaded through spaces never designed for airflow. Our crews work throughout Newton’s 13 villages, and you can reach a live person at (469) 972-3151 any time to talk through what your system needs.
Why Newton Homes Are Different
Newton’s roughly 30,000 housing units skew heavily toward Victorian, Colonial Revival, and Craftsman-era homes, and a large share were built before 1945. That matters for duct cleaning because most of these houses originally ran on steam or hot-water radiator heat with no forced-air ductwork at all. When central air was retrofitted in the 1980s and 1990s, contractors threaded ducts through tight joist bays, converted butler’s pantries, narrow attic knee walls, and even old coal-chute cavities. Those improvised runs have far more offsets, joints, and dead-end sections than purpose-built systems, so debris accumulates faster and cleaning takes longer than in a newer suburb with comparable square footage.
Newton’s dense urban tree canopy adds another layer. Old-growth oaks, elms, and maples shed heavy pollen and organic debris that gets pulled into return-air intakes during spring and fall when windows are open and systems cycle on and off. In villages like Newton Centre and Newtonville, it’s common to find homes still running a cast-iron steam boiler for heat while a separate cooling-only duct system sits hidden in the attic, untouched for 20-plus years because nobody thinks of it as part of the HVAC system. Those systems are often the dirtiest we see anywhere in the Boston metro.
Our Main Newton Services
Two jobs account for nearly every call we take from Newton homeowners. Each has its own page with local detail, pricing, and a direct line to schedule.
Air Duct Cleaning in Newton
Newton’s retrofitted duct systems collect construction dust, pollen, pet dander, and decades of accumulated debris in places newer homes don’t have. Our Air Duct Cleaning in Newton page covers how we handle the tight offsets and dead-end runs common here, what the process looks like in older homes, and what you can expect to pay for a full system cleaning. If your house was renovated before you bought it, that page is worth reading before you call.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Newton
Long dryer vent runs snaked through old framing are a Newton signature, and they clog faster than short, straight runs in newer construction. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Newton page explains how we clear those narrow, offset runs, what a clogged vent does to drying time and energy use, and what a cleaning costs here. If your dryer takes two cycles to dry a load, that page will tell you why.
Every Newton job operates under the Kingswell Guarantee: a written price before work begins, a defined arrival window, a clean job site, and a written guarantee on the work, with a free return visit if anything falls short within the guarantee period.

No. Duct cleaning is a maintenance service that doesn’t require a city permit or HOA approval in Newton. If you live in a condo association, check your building’s rules about contractor access to mechanical rooms, but residential duct cleaning itself is not a regulated or permitted job in the city.
We show you before-and-after photos of your own ducts, taken with a camera probe at the start and end of the job. That’s part of the Kingswell Guarantee: if anything looks incomplete within 365 days, we return and make it right at no charge, documented in writing on every single job.

What Newton 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."
