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 Kirby, TX
Kirby is a small, fully enclosed city inside San Antonio’s Loop 410 and I-10 corridor, and that location shapes nearly every air duct cleaning job we do here. Homes in Kirby draw in more diesel particulate and urban exhaust than almost any comparable neighborhood in the region, which means duct systems load up faster and need more thorough cleaning when the work is finally done. We’re the local air-duct specialist that gives you a written price before a single vent is touched, and we back every job with the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If you’re ready to talk about what’s inside your ducts, call (469) 972-3151.
Why Kirby Homes Are Different
Kirby’s housing stock is mostly post-WWII through 1970s single-family tract homes built for working-class families tied to the nearby military and manufacturing employers. Many of those houses still carry their original or early-replacement ductwork, and that’s the single biggest factor we deal with here. Aging flex duct with degraded inner liners and loose connections doesn’t just leak conditioned air into attics; it pulls attic dust, insulation particles, and whatever else is up there into the airflow you breathe. After 40 or 50 years under eight-plus months of steady AC demand, the inside of that duct system tells a story no homeowner wants to hear.
The climate compounds it. San Antonio’s subtropical heat keeps Kirby systems running most of the year, and summer humidity is relentless – 100°F heat with dew points above 65°F on a regular basis. That persistent moisture inside dark, cool ducts is exactly the environment where mold and microbial growth take hold. Then comes Hill Country cedar season, peaking December through February, pushing heavy pollen loads into return-air systems during the exact months homeowners aren’t thinking about HVAC maintenance at all. By spring, the ducts are carrying a winter’s worth of allergen buildup.
There’s one pattern our technicians have seen enough times to call it distinct to Kirby. On the north and west edges of the city, the sides most exposed to prevailing winds off the I-10 truck corridor, supply registers often develop a fine black-gray coating that reappears within 12 to 18 months even after a thorough cleaning. The cause is rarely the cleaning wearing off. It’s return-air sealing – if the home’s return path is pulling unfiltered air from the attic or crawl, the ducts refill with the same particulates almost immediately. We flag this on every Kirby job where we see it, because cleaning without addressing the seal is half a job.
Our Main Kirby Services
Kirby homeowners call us for two jobs more than anything else, and each one has its own dedicated page with pricing, what to expect, and the answers to the questions we hear most. Here’s what each service involves in Kirby specifically.
Air Duct Cleaning in Kirby
Air duct cleaning in Kirby means working with older duct systems that have spent decades collecting the fine particulate that blows in from the I-10 and Loop 410 corridors. We use Rotobrush rotary brush systems to dislodge debris at the duct wall, then Nikro negative-pressure extraction pulls it out of the system entirely rather than stirring it through your living space. Kirby’s aging flex duct often has loose connections and degraded liners, so part of the job is inspecting for those leaks while we clean. Full pricing, what’s included, and our 365-day guarantee details are on the Air Duct Cleaning in Kirby page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Kirby
Kirby’s older homes frequently route dryer vents through attics or along long exterior walls, which creates more elbows and more lint buildup points than a short, straight vent. Combined with the region’s heat and humidity, a clogged dryer vent in Kirby is both a fire concern and a moisture problem waiting to happen. We clean the full vent run from the dryer to the exterior termination point and explain exactly what we found and removed. Get the details on Dryer Vent Cleaning in Kirby.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Kirby, TX
Kirby homes are smaller than the regional average, which keeps whole-system pricing on the lower end of the range. What pushes costs up here is age: original ductwork with degraded insulation, loose connections, or excessive debris accumulation takes longer to clean properly and sometimes requires a return-air sealing recommendation we’ll quote separately before doing any extra work.
| Service | Typical range in Kirby |
|---|---|
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (up to 10 vents) | $349 - $499 |
| Additional vent (per vent, over 10) | $15 - $25 |
| Main trunk line cleaning | $75 - $150 |
| Return air system cleaning | $85 - $160 |
| Blower motor & housing cleaning | $65 - $120 |
| Coil cleaning (visible portion only) | $70 - $140 |
| UV light installation (labor only) | $125 - $200 |
| Dryer vent cleaning | $89 - $149 |
| Dryer vent replacement (flexible transition hose) | $29 - $59 |
| Dryer vent replacement (rigid metal piping) | $8 - $12 per foot |
The number we quote is the number you pay. It’s written down before work begins, and if anything changes mid-job, we stop and get your sign-off before spending another dollar. That’s The Kingswell Way, and it’s how every Kirby job operates.

What Kirby 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."
