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 Terrell, TX
Air duct cleaning in Terrell, TX typically runs between $349 and $589 for a whole-home system, and most jobs wrap up in a single visit. Terrell homes carry their own set of problems: fast-built tract subdivisions west of town seal construction dust into brand-new ductwork, while older brick ranch homes near downtown hide decades of attic-heat degradation in fiberglass-lined runs. We service both. Call (469) 972-3151 for a written quote before any work begins.
Why Terrell Homes Are Different
Terrell sits on Blackland Prairie clay that cracks and heaves through every summer drought-and-rain cycle. That movement works loose fine dust, which slides into attic duct joints and return-air chases in homes all over town. Add the humidity this side of Texas carries compared to points west, and mold inside ductwork becomes a real concern year-round, not just in spring.
The housing stock splits two ways. Near downtown and the older neighborhoods off Moore Avenue and Griffith Avenue, pre-1980s brick ranch and craftsman homes often still run original flex duct or early fiberglass-lined metal. Four decades of Kaufman County attic heat leaves that lining brittle and shedding. On the western and northern growth edges, the 2010s and 2020s vinyl-sided subdivisions tell a different story. In the newer developments off FM 148 and FM 1641 north of US-80, homes were framed, drywalled, and HVAC-commissioned in rapid succession. Technicians regularly pull thick drywall-dust cakes out of supply boots in homes barely five years old, because cleanup crews finished before the system was ever sealed. That’s a first-clean problem we see far more in Terrell than in settled suburbs closer to Dallas.
The result: a cleaning here is less routine maintenance and more a forensic job. You have to know which kind of house you’re standing in before you start, because the fix isn’t the same.
Our Main Terrell Services
Two calls dominate the phones from Terrell homeowners: air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own page with full pricing and details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Terrell
Newer Terrell homes off US-80 often need a first clean to strip construction dust and blown-in insulation particles from the supply runs and air handler. Older downtown homes need degraded duct lining removed and the full system verified for leaks. We run a Rotobrush rotary brush through every run to break debris off the duct wall, then put the system under negative pressure with a Nikro unit so loosened material exits the house, not your living room. Detailed pricing and the 365-Day Done Right Promise are on the service page. Air Duct Cleaning in Terrell
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Terrell
Terrell’s clay-dust environment loads dryer vents fast, and the long vent runs common in newer single-story plans off FM 148 make that worse. Lint builds at the first elbow, air slows, and the dryer starts running double cycles. We clean the full run from dryer to exterior termination, remove the lint trap bypass blockage that hides behind the filter, and verify airflow at the exhaust. One flat price, no per-foot add-ons.

Terrell’s split housing stock is the main price driver. Older downtown homes with degraded flex duct or crumbling fiberglass lining can push a job higher when we find damage mid-cleaning. Newer tract homes sometimes run long duct layouts that add vents to the count. Either way, the number on your written quote is the number you pay. We hand you the price before a single vent is touched, and it does not change at the door.

What Terrell 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."
