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 Dedham, MA
Air duct cleaning in Dedham, MA typically runs between $425 and $850 for a whole-home system, depending on home size and how much debris has settled into the ductwork over the years. Dedham jobs aren’t like the surrounding towns because so much of the housing stock was built between 1950 and 1975 with original sheet metal ducts that have rarely, if ever, been opened up. If you’re noticing dust settling on furniture within days of cleaning, or rooms that never quite hold temperature, call us at (469) 972-3151 for a straight answer.
Why Dedham Homes Are Different
Dedham’s Greenlodge and Oakdale neighborhoods were built heavily during the post-war suburban push, leaving a dense inventory of Cape Cods, ranch homes, and split-levels. The ductwork in these homes is now 50 to 70 years old. Many of those systems started as heat-only and were later retrofitted with central air conditioning, which means the original duct runs were never sealed or sized for the added load. At the joints where sections meet, you’ll find gaps held together with aging tape or loose mechanical fasteners – gaps that have been pulling in dust, insulation fibers, and pet dander for decades.
Then there’s East Dedham, down along the Charles River valley. Homes there sit closer to the water table, and basements run damp through much of the year. Ductwork in those basements picks up a different problem: rust streaks on the trunk lines, saturated duct wrap, and in some cases visible mold where moisture has wicked into the metal. We’ve pulled ducts open in East Dedham where the first few feet of the main supply trunk showed clear water-intrusion damage the homeowner never connected to the air upstairs. That’s not a cleaning issue you can solve by swapping a filter – it’s a condition of the house and the land it sits on.
Our Main Dedham Services
Two services account for nearly every call we take from Dedham homeowners, and each has its own dedicated page with pricing, local details, and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in Dedham
This is the big one for Dedham’s mid-century homes. We run a Rotobrush rotary brush through every supply and return line to dislodge debris at the duct wall, then pair it with a Nikro negative-pressure unit that pulls the loosened material out without spreading it through your living space. On the older Cape Cods in Greenlodge, we often find the original duct wrap has broken down and is shedding into the airflow. For homes that converted from heat-only to central air, we find years of accumulated debris sitting behind joints that were never sealed. Read the full breakdown on our Air Duct Cleaning in Dedham page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dedham
Dedham’s ranch homes and split-levels often have laundry rooms on the main floor with vent runs that travel 15 to 25 feet to an exterior wall. That’s a long run, and every bend is a place lint collects. We bypass the lint trap entirely and run a rotary brush the full length of the vent, then use negative pressure to capture what comes loose. In homes with older vent pipe, the buildup is often dense enough that the dryer takes two cycles to dry a single load. That’s a fire risk and a waste of energy. Details are on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dedham page.

What Dedham Customers Say
"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."
- 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."
