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 Hazardville, CT
Air duct cleaning in Hazardville costs between $349 and $1,100 for most homes, depending on the size of the system and how much debris has built up inside. The homes here were mostly built between 1950 and 1975, and most still run on their original galvanized ductwork, now carrying 50 to 70 years of dust, pet hair, and construction debris. We’re Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning, and we work on these older Hazardville systems every week. Call (469) 972-3151 for an honest price before any work happens.
Why Hazardville Homes Are Different
Hazardville sits inside the Connecticut River Valley, and that location does more to your ductwork than most homeowners realize. Summer air gets trapped in the valley and holds humidity longer than it does a few miles west, where the land rises toward Somers and Ellington. That moisture works its way into duct systems that were never sealed against it. We regularly pull biological growth out of Hazardville ducts that would not be there in a drier hilltop town ten minutes away.
The housing stock compounds the problem. These are 1950s and 1960s Capes, ranches, and split-levels built for the manufacturing workforce of that era. The original trunks were sized for heat only. When central air conditioning arrived years later, flex-duct extensions were spliced onto systems never designed for them, creating low points that trap debris and leaky connections that pull in crawl space air. In ranch homes with ductwork running under the slab or through unvented crawl spaces, ground moisture seeps into the supply plenum all winter. The resulting rust scale inside those ducts is heavier than what we see on higher ground in neighboring towns. None of this means the systems are ruined. It means the cleaning has to account for it.
Our Main Hazardville Services
Two services cover almost every call we take from Hazardville homeowners. Each has its own page with pricing, what the job looks like, and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in Hazardville
Most Hazardville homes have never had their ducts cleaned, and the difference shows in the dust that resettles on furniture within days of a cleaning. Our Air Duct Cleaning in Hazardville uses rotary brush agitation to knock debris loose from the duct walls, paired with negative-air extraction from a Nikro unit that pulls everything out under vacuum rather than pushing it into your living space. On Hazardville’s older trunk-and-branch systems, we pay close attention to return drops, which collect surprising amounts of material in homes where a single central return serves an entire floor.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Hazardville
Dryer vents in Hazardville’s older homes often run long distances from the appliance to an exterior wall, sometimes through basements or crawl spaces. That length, combined with damp river-valley air, makes lint stick and accumulate faster than it would in a shorter, drier vent run. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Hazardville clears the full run from the lint trap to the outside cap, checking for the kinks and sags that older retrofit installations tend to have.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Hazardville, CT
Here are the price ranges Hazardville homeowners can expect. Everything is priced as one flat rate per system, agreed in writing before the first vent is touched.
| Service | Typical range in Hazardville |
|---|---|
| Air duct cleaning, small home (up to 8 vents) | $349 - $499 |
| Air duct cleaning, average home (9-14 vents) | $450 - $699 |
| Air duct cleaning, large home (15+ vents) | $699 - $1,100 |

In Hazardville, the biggest price drivers are total vent count and how much flex duct was added during a retrofit. Homes with 1960s heat-only trunks plus decades of add-ons tend to run toward the upper end. Whatever the number ends up being, it’s on paper in your hands before we start, and it does not change at the door.

What Hazardville 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."
