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 Franklin Town, MA
Air duct cleaning in Franklin Town costs between $349 and $1,200 for most homes, with colonials and garrison capes from the 1990s typically landing in the $450-$750 range. What makes Franklin Town different is the housing stock itself: thousands of homes built between 1988 and 2005 with builder-grade flex duct that’s now 20 to 35 years old, much of it routed through unconditioned attic chases that New England winters have worked over hard. Our crews know these floor plans before they arrive. Call (469) 972-3151 and we’ll give you a written price before any work begins.
Why Franklin Town Homes Are Different
Franklin Town grew fast. The stretch from roughly 1987 through 2005 brought whole subdivisions of two-story colonials and garrison capes, almost all of them running forced-air gas furnaces with flex duct strung through attic knee-walls and dropped basement ceilings. That ductwork is now hitting the age where sagging sections, micro-tears, and lining degradation show up in the same neighborhoods at the same time. We see it repeatedly in the tracts off Route 140 and the northwestern growth corridors: collapsed attic runs, insulation particles pulled into the airstream, return-air leaks that never got sealed right in the first place.
Franklin Town’s tree cover and the Charles River wetlands don’t help. Seasonal pollen loads here run high, and mold spore counts climb through humid summers when attic duct runs sweat. The result is a building stock full of systems that circulate more than they should, and a cleaning job that’s less routine maintenance than overdue correction. None of this is dramatic. It’s just what 25 years of freeze-thaw cycling does to flex duct in a heavily wooded New England town.
Our Main Franklin Town Services
Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning handles two services in Franklin Town, and each one has its own dedicated page with pricing, process, and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in Franklin Town
We use Nikro negative-pressure units to pull debris out of the system while a Rotobrush rotary brush agitates the duct walls, and Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration keeps loosened particles from entering your living space. In Franklin Town’s 1990s-era flex-duct runs, the brush work is what clears out the years of pollen and the loose insulation fragments that sagging attic sections let in. The full breakdown is on the Air Duct Cleaning in Franklin Town page. Written price in your hands before a single vent is touched.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Franklin Town
A dryer vent that hasn’t been cleaned in a Franklin Town colonial is often carrying years of fine lint packed against the vent walls. We clean the full run from dryer to exterior cap, including the lint trap bypass that so many quick jobs skip. That bypass matters here because long vent runs through basements and out side walls are common in these 1990s floor plans. Details are on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Franklin Town page.

Air Duct Cleaning Company in Franklin Town: What You Should Know
Franklin Town’s forced-air systems run hard from November through early April, which means anything loose in the ducts gets circulated for months at a stretch. Add the pollen season that hits in spring right as heating season ends, and you get systems that need attention on a schedule tied to the local climate, not a national average. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to every job we do here: if the work falls short within the guarantee period, we return and make it right at no charge. That’s in writing on every single job.
Brands We Service in Franklin Town
Franklin Town homes run the range of forced-air systems, and our crews arrive ready for the common ones. We carry filters and parts for Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman units, so when your air handler needs a replacement filter or the Aprilaire housing has cracked, we can usually address it on the spot. More detail is on our brands page.

What Franklin Town 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."
