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 San Fernando, CA
Air duct cleaning in San Fernando runs most homeowners between $285 and $485 for a full system, with older post-WWII homes on the higher end. This city’s ducts work harder than almost anywhere else in the Valley – diesel soot from the I-5/SR-14 interchange settles into aging galvanized ductwork, and 50-year-old joints loosened by the 1971 Sylmar earthquake keep pulling attic dust into living spaces. Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning handles both duct and dryer vent work here with a written price before any job starts. Call (469) 972-3151 to talk it through.
Why San Fernando Homes Are Different
San Fernando sits at the junction of the I-5 and SR-14, one of the busiest diesel truck corridors in the country. That means particulate and soot settle into duct interiors faster here than in coastal LA neighborhoods, and the Valley’s basin traps heat and smog. Summer highs regularly top 100°F, so HVAC systems run long daily cycles and pull more of that airborne particulate through the ductwork.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Most homes here are small stucco builds from the 1940s through 1960s. Many were patched rather than rebuilt after the 1971 Sylmar earthquake, which was epicentered right in San Fernando. Technicians regularly pull apart duct runs and find joint separations dating to that quake – gaps that were never resealed and have been funneling attic dust and freeway particulate into bedrooms for 50 years. Original galvanized sheet-metal ductwork, now 50 to 70 years old, has deteriorated flex connections that are a consistent finding. HVAC upgrades are rare in this dense, lower-income housing stock, so old, inefficient duct systems are the norm.
Our Main San Fernando Services
San Fernando homeowners call Kestrel most often for two jobs: full air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own San Fernando page with pricing, process details, and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in San Fernando
San Fernando’s duct systems carry a heavier load than most – diesel soot from the freeway corridor and decades of attic dust pulled through earthquake-loosened joints. Our Air Duct Cleaning in San Fernando page covers how we use negative-air extraction, which means a powerful vacuum pulls contaminants out rather than pushing them into your rooms, alongside rotary brush agitation to dislodge debris at the duct wall. The result is a system that moves air without carrying the Valley’s particulate with it. Written price first, always.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in San Fernando
A clogged dryer vent in San Fernando is a fire hazard, and with the Valley’s dust load, vents fill faster than homeowners expect. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in San Fernando page explains how we clear the full vent run, not just the lint trap, using professional-grade equipment and a lint trap bypass to reach the blockage. If your dryer takes longer than one cycle or the vent flap barely moves, that page tells you what’s happening and what the fix costs.

What San Fernando 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."
