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 Acworth, GA
Air duct cleaning in Acworth, GA typically costs between $450 and $900 for a full system on a two-story home, depending on the number of zones and how long the ducts have gone without service. We’re Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve noticed Acworth jobs run differently than work in nearby metro suburbs: the housing stock is newer but aging in a specific way, and the lake keeps humidity elevated in ways that change what technicians find inside duct runs. If you’ve been putting off cleaning because you weren’t sure what it should cost, call (469) 972-3151 and we’ll give you a written price before anyone touches a vent.
Why Acworth Homes Are Different
Most of Acworth’s housing stock was built between 1990 and 2005, during the stretch when I-75 access and Lake Allatoona turned the city from a small railroad town into a commuter suburb. Those homes in Governors Towne Club, Brookstone, and the lake-adjacent subdivisions share a common trait: original flex duct systems that are now 20 to 30 years old. Flex duct of that age sags between joists, separates at connection collars, and collects debris where the inner liner has started to degrade. A two-story colonial with a multi-zone system and long duct runs to the second floor isn’t serviced in the same way as a single-story ranch elsewhere in the metro.
Then there’s the lake itself. Acworth’s position beside Lake Allatoona and Lake Acworth pushes nighttime dew points higher than what you’d measure a few miles east. Duct interiors stay damp longer after the AC cycles off, and that extended moisture window is exactly what mold needs to establish on flex duct liner and at return boot connections. Our technicians see a clear pattern: homes backing up to Allatoona coves on the western and northern edges of Acworth show mold growth on duct interiors far more often than same-vintage homes toward Kennesaw, where the lake’s influence thins out. That’s not a reason to panic; it’s a reason to inspect, and to clean with equipment that actually removes what’s growing rather than just stirring it up.
Our Main Acworth Services
Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning offers two services in Acworth, and each has its own page with full pricing, process details, and local specifics.
Air Duct Cleaning in Acworth
Our Air Duct Cleaning in Acworth page covers the full service: rotary brush agitation with Rotobrush equipment to break debris loose at the duct wall, negative-air extraction with Nikro units to pull it out, and HEPA filtration from Abatement Technologies so loosened particles never enter your living space. In Acworth specifically, we pay close attention to return boots on lake-adjacent homes, where humidity-driven mold tends to start first. Most full-system jobs on the typical two-story Acworth home run $450-$900, priced in writing before work starts.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Acworth
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Acworth page walks through what’s involved: disconnecting the vent, clearing lint through the full run including the lint trap bypass, and reconnecting and testing airflow. Long vertical or offset dryer vent runs are common in Acworth’s larger two-story layouts, and those runs trap more lint than short horizontal exits. The job typically runs $120-$230. Every dryer vent job includes written documentation of the before and after, so you can see what came out of the lines.

What Acworth 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."
