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 Keene, TX
Air duct cleaning in Keene, TX usually runs between $380 and $560 for a whole-home system, and the homes here tend to need it more than most. Keene’s housing stock was built in concentrated waves from the 1960s through the 1980s around Southwestern Adventist University, which means a large share of the city’s homes have original ductwork of similar age hitting the end of its service life around the same time. Add attic temperatures that regularly top 140°F in summer, and you get joints separating, liners degrading, and dust building up faster than in milder parts of North Texas. Call (469) 972-3151 for a free estimate with a written price before any work begins.
Why Keene Homes Are Different
Keene sits in Johnson County’s Eastern Cross Timbers, where Ashe juniper and post oak produce heavy seasonal pollen that gets pulled straight into return-air systems. The residential core around Southwestern Adventist University was developed mainly from the 1960s through the 1980s to house faculty, staff, and students. That means block after block of ranch-style and single-story homes with original sheet-metal ductwork or early flex-duct runs routed through unconditioned attics.
What we find in Keene is consistent: attic temperatures above 130°F accelerate flex-duct liner degradation, causing joints to separate and collect debris faster than you’d see in a milder climate. The long-term owner-occupant pattern here is also distinctive. Many Keene homeowners have lived in the same house for 30 or 40 years without ever pulling an access panel, so first-time cleanings in the older university-area streets are often among the heaviest contamination cases we see anywhere in Johnson County. It’s not neglect – it’s just that nobody told them ducts need servicing until the symptoms showed up.
Our Main Keene Services
These are the two jobs Keene homeowners call us about most, and each has its own dedicated Keene page with full pricing and details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Keene
In Keene, air duct cleaning usually means pulling years of pollen, dust, and construction debris out of original sheet-metal systems or early flex-duct runs. The cedar and oak pollen loads in the Eastern Cross Timbers settle into the return-air side of the system, and once attic heat separates a few duct joints, the contamination spreads through the whole house. Our crew uses negative-air extraction and rotary brush agitation – that’s a vacuum system pulling contaminants out while a rotating brush works them loose at the duct wall – so nothing gets blown back into your living space.

Dryer Vent Cleaning in Keene
Dryer vent cleaning in Keene is a different animal from duct cleaning, and it’s the job people put off until the dryer takes two cycles to finish a load. The vent run from a laundry room to the exterior wall is often short in Keene’s ranch-style homes, but lint still packs into the pipe and the dryer’s internal screen housing. When that air path is restricted, the dryer runs hotter and longer, and that’s a fire risk. We pull the vent line and bypass the lint trap so the full run is clear, not just the visible section.

If your specific neighborhood does have HOA rules about contractor access or parking, flag that when you book and we’ll plan around it. The work itself is entirely inside your home’s system, so municipal permitting is not a factor.
You’ll see before-and-after photos of your own ductwork, not stock images, so you can verify what was removed and what the system looks like cleaned.

What Keene 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."
