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 North Richland Hills, TX
Air duct cleaning in North Richland Hills runs between $350 and $650 for most homes, depending on duct length and how much debris has settled in the system. We’re Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning, and we work on homes throughout North Richland Hills where attic heat, clay soil, and original 1970s-through-1990s ductwork create a specific set of failures we don’t see in newer subdivisions. Call (469) 972-3151 for a written, fixed price before any work begins.
Why North Richland Hills Homes Are Different
North Richland Hills grew fast during the 1970s through 1990s, and a large share of those homes still run on their original attic-installed flex ductwork. In July and August, attics here routinely exceed 140°F. Over 30 to 50 years, that sustained heat degrades the inner fiberglass liner inside the duct. What we pull out of North Richland Hills systems during cleaning is often not just dust but actual liner material that has shed into the airstream and now recirculates through the house every time the AC cycles on.
The soil adds a second failure mode we see frequently in North Richland Hills. The expansive Blackland-adjacent clay under slab foundations shifts with wet and dry seasons. That movement pulls duct boots away from floor and ceiling registers, leaving gaps that draw attic insulation fibers and unconditioned 140°F air directly into the supply stream. In this city, an air duct cleaning is rarely just about the dust inside the duct. It is just as often about finding where the duct has separated and letting attic air in.
Tarrant County summers keep AC systems here running eight to ten months a year, and the long run season pulls cedar pollen in January and February, oak in spring, ragweed in fall, and fine clay dust year-round. North Richland Hills ductwork accumulates debris faster than the same system would in a milder climate. That means the interval between cleanings matters more here than it does 40 miles north.
Our Main North Richland Hills Services
Most homeowners in North Richland Hills reach us because of dust on registers, weak airflow, a dryer that takes two cycles, or a vent that hasn’t been opened in years. These are the two jobs we do, and each has its own detailed North Richland Hills page with local pricing and a full FAQ.
Air Duct Cleaning in North Richland Hills
Whole-system air duct cleaning for North Richland Hills homes means cleaning the supply ducts, return ducts, registers, boots, and the air handler cabinet. We run professional-grade negative-pressure extraction with rotary brush agitation, which dislodges debris at the duct wall and pulls it out under vacuum rather than blowing it into the living space. On slab homes here, we also check every boot-to-register connection for the gap failures this soil causes. Read the full scope at Air Duct Cleaning in North Richland Hills.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in North Richland Hills
North Richland Hills homes built in the 1970s and 1980s often have long, corrugated foil dryer vent runs through hot attic spaces, and those traps lint faster than rigid metal pipe. We clean the full run from dryer to exterior termination, clear the lint trap bypass, and check for kinks and crushed sections in the attic. For this job’s specific pricing and process, see Dryer Vent Cleaning in North Richland Hills.

No. Air duct cleaning is interior work on your own HVAC system and does not require HOA approval anywhere in North Richland Hills. Dryer vent work may involve the exterior vent hood, but that part of the home is still your responsibility.
If your North Richland Hills home is from the 1970s through 1990s and still has original attic ductwork, ask for an inspection before assuming you just need a cleaning. Liner degradation and boot separation are common here, and knowing which failure you have changes the job.

What North Richland Hills Customers Say
"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."
- 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."
