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 Belmont, MA
Air duct cleaning in Belmont, MA typically costs between $350 and $650 for a whole-home system, depending on home size and how long it’s been since the ducts were touched. Most Belmont homes we see were built between 1945 and 1970, and a surprising number still run their original duct board or early flex duct through hillside crawl spaces that stay damp for months at a time. That combination makes thorough cleaning here a different job than it is a few miles east on flat ground. Call (469) 972-3151 for a written quote before any work begins.
Why Belmont Homes Are Different
Belmont’s housing stock climbs the hills rising west from El Camino Real, and that terrain shapes almost every duct system we open. The neighborhoods above Ralston Avenue are largely post-war ranch and split-level homes from the late 1940s through the 1960s, built on sloping lots where ducts run through low, unconditioned crawl spaces carved into the hillside. Uphill drainage keeps ground moisture moving toward those crawl spaces, and the mid-Peninsula micro-valley funnels cool, moist marine air up from the Pacific. Fog hangs over Belmont longer than in San Mateo or Redwood City, and that persistent humidity works its way into fiberglass duct liners and early flex duct. We routinely find flex duct that has partially collapsed or pulled apart at the joints in Belmont crawl spaces where relative humidity sits near saturation much of the year. That failure mode is specific to sloped-lot construction. Flat Peninsula cities don’t contend with it the same way.
The result is that duct cleaning here is often as much about removing mold-contaminated liner material as it is about clearing dust. Our Rotobrush rotary brush systems knock debris loose at the duct wall while Nikro negative-pressure units pull it out without blowing contaminants back into the living space. In Belmont’s older hillside homes, we almost always recommend a close look at the crawl space during the job.
Our Main Belmont Services
Belmont homeowners reach out about two jobs most often, each with its own dedicated page covering the details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Belmont
Whole-home air duct cleaning in Belmont means pulling years of dust, pet dander, and often mold spores out of supply and return lines that run through damp crawl spaces and unconditioned attics. In older hillside homes above Ralston Avenue, we frequently find original galvanized sheet metal or fiberglass duct board with interior surfaces coated in years of accumulated particulate. We use negative-air extraction, which means the system pulls air and debris out of your ducts under vacuum while brushes agitate the walls, so loosened material doesn’t escape into your rooms. For the full Belgrade-specific breakdown, see Air Duct Cleaning in Belmont.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Belmont
Dryer vents in Belmont’s split-levels and ranch homes often run longer than code would allow in a new build, snaking through crawl spaces and up exterior walls. Lint build-up in those long runs reduces dryer efficiency and creates a fire hazard we take seriously. We run rotary brush agitation through the full vent length and bypass the lint trap, which means we clean the entire path from dryer to exterior cap rather than just the first few feet.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Belmont, MA
| Service | Typical range in Belmont |
|---|---|
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (ranch, 2-3 bd) | $350 - $480 |
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (split-level, 3-4 bd) | $450 - $600 |
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (larger hillside home, 4+ bd) | $550 - $650 |
| Crawl space duct inspection and cleaning add-on | $90 - $150 |

What pushes a Belmont job toward the top of these ranges is mostly access. Crawl spaces on steep hillside lots are tighter and take longer to maneuver through than flat-lot basements, and if a section of flex duct has to be resealed before cleaning, that adds labor. Every quote we give is a flat written price agreed before any work begins, and that number doesn’t change when our tech arrives.

What Belmont 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."
