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 Galt, CA
Air duct cleaning in Galt costs most homeowners between $320 and $550 for a full-system cleaning, depending on home size and how much agricultural dust has settled into the ductwork. Galt sits surrounded by active row-crop farmland, and every August through October the harvest pushes a heavy load of field dust through residential HVAC systems. Dale Whitmore leads our Galt team, and we answer the phone around the clock at (469) 972-3151.
Why Galt Homes Are Different
Galt is a compact city ringed on nearly all sides by working Sacramento Valley farmland. Tomato, corn, and safflower harvests run from August into October, and during those months the air around residential subdivisions carries a noticeable agricultural dust load. Homes on the southern and eastern edges, where subdivisions border open fields with little buffer, pull visibly more of that orange-tinted field dust into return-air plenums than homes just a few blocks toward the city center. That is not anecdote; our technicians see it consistently when they open up a system in Galt.
The housing stock compounds the issue. Most of Galt grew rapidly in the 1990s and early 2000s as an affordable Sacramento exurb, so the dominant homes are single-story tract builds now between 15 and 25 years old. Many still run their original forced-air duct systems, which means two decades of valley air, harvest dust, and summer AC cycles have cycled through the same ductwork without professional cleaning. A smaller set of mid-century homes near downtown Galt may have original sheet-metal ducts with internal liner that degrades over time and sheds fibers into the airstream. Summer temperatures push past 100°F for weeks, running AC systems almost continuously from June through September, and then winter Tule fog brings long furnace runs that recirculate whatever the ducts collected during peak harvest. The result is a system that never gets a break.
Our Main Galt Services
Two jobs account for nearly every call we take from Galt homeowners, and each has its own page with the full local detail.
Air Duct Cleaning in Galt
Galt homes accumulate an unusual amount of agricultural particulate, especially those within sight of active fields. A full Air Duct Cleaning in Galt removes that build-up with negative-air extraction and rotary brush agitation, which we explain in plain terms before any work begins. We see ducts packed with harvest dust that would keep recirculating through every room until the system is actually cleaned. One phone call gets you a written price and a defined arrival window.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Galt
Galt’s dry, dusty summer air means dryer vents clog faster than you might expect, and a blocked vent is a genuine fire risk. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Galt page covers what we do, what it costs, and how to know when the vent is past due. We use professional extraction equipment to pull lint out of the full vent run, not just the visible opening behind the dryer. The written price comes before we touch anything.

What Galt 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."
