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 Garnet, CA
Garnet sits in one of the most challenging air-quality regions in the country, and it shows up in your ductwork faster than almost anywhere else in Southern California. We’re Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning, and we clean the dust, diesel soot, and desert grit that accumulates inside the ducts of Garnet homes. The two services we provide here – whole-system air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning – each have their own detailed page linked just below. For a free estimate on either, call (469) 972-3151 and you’ll speak with a live person, any hour, any day.
Why Garnet Homes Are Different
Garnet sits within the South Coast Air Basin, one of the worst-ranked regions in the entire United States for both PM2.5 and ozone. It’s also positioned downwind of the San Gorgonio Pass corridor, which seasonally funnels heavy desert dust loads directly into the community. When those wind events kick up – and they’re some of the strongest sustained winds in California – outdoor particulate counts spike sharply, and dust infiltrates even moderately sealed homes. That means ductwork in Garnet accumulates particulate contamination at a rate far exceeding what you’d see in coastal cities just an hour west. For many Garnet homeowners, duct cleaning isn’t a routine maintenance item. It’s a respiratory-health intervention.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Garnet is an unincorporated Riverside County community with a significant share of mid-century tract homes and manufactured housing from the 1950s through the 1970s. Many of these homes still have their original ductwork, which was never engineered for today’s particulate levels or the central-AC systems sometimes retrofitted into them. Flex duct connections in these older installations are prone to gaps and sags that trap debris and bypass filters entirely. Add summers that regularly exceed 105°F – meaning HVAC systems run nearly continuously for months – and you get debris buildup and biological growth inside ductwork that happens faster here than in almost any other Southern California market we work in.
Our Main Garnet Services
Garnet homeowners call us about two things, mostly: whole-system air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each one has its own Garnet page with full pricing and local detail.
Air Duct Cleaning in Garnet
Whole-system air duct cleaning in Garnet means removing the desert dust, diesel soot, and debris that builds up inside your supply and return ducts. The warehouse and logistics corridor expansion along nearby freeway routes has measurably worsened diesel particulate levels in the local airshed. Our technicians working in Garnet increasingly report dark, sooty deposits coating supply ducts in homes close to high-truck-traffic corridors – a pattern distinct from the typical dust-and-dander loads found in communities farther from the freight network. We use negative-air extraction to pull contaminants out of the duct system while keeping loosened particles out of your living space. Get the full breakdown, including pricing, on our Air Duct Cleaning in Garnet page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Garnet
Dryer vent cleaning in Garnet matters more than in most places because the same San Gorgonio Pass winds that load your ducts with dust also push lint and debris deeper into dryer exhaust runs. A clogged dryer vent isn’t just slow – it’s the leading cause of dryer fires, and we treat it accordingly. Our technicians use professional rotary brush agitation to dislodge built-up lint, then run a negative-pressure unit to pull it out. We also inspect the full vent run for sags, gaps, and improper termination, which are common in older Garnet manufactured homes and mid-century builds. See pricing and what’s included on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Garnet page.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Garnet, CA

Three things push Garnet prices toward the higher end of these ranges: heavy desert-dust loading that requires additional extraction time, sooty deposits from nearby freight corridors that need more aggressive agitation, and aged flex duct runs on original mid-century systems that often need repair before cleaning can be effective. Every quote we give includes the full written price before a single vent is touched, and every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.

What Garnet 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."
