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 Ennis, TX
Air duct cleaning in Ennis, TX runs between $350 and $650 for most single-family homes, with older homes on the original ductwork landing closer to the top of that range. The job takes a half day to a full day depending on how many systems the house has and how deep the agricultural dust has packed in. Ennis is a different animal from the DFW suburbs up I-45. Homes here sit in the middle of active cotton and row-crop land, and the ductwork shows it. Call us at (469) 972-3151 and we’ll give you a written price before anyone touches a vent.
Why Ennis Homes Are Different
Ennis sits at the heart of Ellis County’s Blackland Prairie farmland, surrounded by cotton fields and grain acreage that put a constant load of agricultural dust, cotton lint, and chaff into the air. Homes on the south and east sides of town, closest to the row crops, pull that material straight into return-air systems. Technicians out here routinely find return grilles packed with cotton fibers and field dust, a contamination signature you just don’t see in the bedroom communities further north toward Dallas.
Then there’s the soil. The black clay under Ennis heaves and settles with every wet spring and baking summer, and that movement works its way into the duct system. Flex duct joints pull apart at the plenum, crawl-space connections loosen, and suddenly attic air is bypassing the filter entirely. That’s how a clean-looking home ends up with duct interiors coated in clay particulate and pollen. The housing stock compounds it: much of Ennis is post-WWII through 1970s construction built during the railroad and agricultural boom, and a lot of those homes still run original or first-generation duct board that has cracked, sagged, or delaminated over the decades. The older core homes are the ones where we most often find the worst conditions.
The Bluebonnet season is beautiful, but the same spring pollen load that draws visitors to the Ennis Bluebonnet Trails also gets pulled into HVAC systems running near-continuously from May through September. Between the pollen, the clay dust, and the cotton lint, Ennis ductwork accumulates a heavier, stickier contaminant mix than almost anywhere else in the county.
Our Main Ennis Services
Ennis homeowners call Kestrel for two jobs above everything else: cleaning the air ducts that move conditioned air through the house, and clearing the dryer vent that carries lint and moisture outside. Each has its own page with pricing and job detail.
Air Duct Cleaning in Ennis
In Ennis, air duct cleaning means removing years of field dust, cotton lint, pollen, and clay particulate from the supply and return sides of your HVAC system. We run a Air Duct Cleaning in Ennis job with professional-grade equipment: Rotobrush rotary brush systems dislodge debris at the duct wall, Nikro negative-pressure units pull it out of the system, and Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration keeps the loosened particles out of your living space during the work. On older Ennis homes with cracked duct board or separated joints, the cleaning also gives us a clear look at what’s actually happening inside the system, and we’ll tell you plainly what we found.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Ennis
Dryer vents in Ennis clog with the usual lint plus a fine field dust that blows in from the surrounding acreage and finds its way into laundry rooms. A clogged dryer vent doesn’t just waste energy, it’s a fire hazard. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Ennis service clears the full vent run from the dryer to the exterior outlet, including the lint trap bypass area that box-store cleaning kits miss. On clay-heavy Ennis lots, the exterior vent hoods also tend to get blocked by dirt and grass clippings from mowing, and we clear that too.

What Ennis 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."
