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 Nellis AFB, NV
Air duct cleaning in Nellis AFB runs most homeowners between $350 and $650 for a full system, depending on home size and how long it’s been since the last cleaning. We’re Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning, and we handle the two jobs Nellis AFB residents call about most: air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own dedicated Nellis AFB page linked below, because the work here deserves more than a generic overview. Call us at (469) 972-3151 and a live person answers, any hour.
Why Nellis AFB Homes Are Different
Nellis AFB sits on the Mojave Desert floor, where summer highs push past 115°F and HVAC systems run near-continuously from May through September. That constant operation pulls enormous volumes of air through the return side of the system, and the periodic haboob-style dust storms that roll through the Las Vegas Valley drive fine silica particulates deep into return-air plenums and branch ducts. Dust loads here accumulate faster than in North Las Vegas or Henderson, and the composition is different too: desert silica mixed with aviation combustion byproducts from the base’s continuous high-tempo flight operations, including regular Red Flag exercises with F-35s, F-16s, and F-22s.
On-base family housing at Nellis AFB is privatized military construction managed under the MHPI program, with standardized government-spec units ranging from mid-century builds to more recent additions. The PCS turnover rate is extremely high, which means ductwork frequently goes uninspected between tenants for years at a stretch. Add the access realities: any contractor servicing ductwork on base must hold background-check credentials and base access clearance, a barrier that eliminates most standard Las Vegas HVAC companies from even bidding the work. That leaves a short list of qualified crews, and we’re on it.
Our Main Nellis AFB Services
The two services Nellis AFB homeowners call us about most are air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each job has its own page below, specific to life on base.
Air Duct Cleaning in Nellis AFB
Air duct cleaning in Nellis AFB means removing the desert silica and jet-exhaust residue that builds up inside supply and return ducts, air handler compartments, and registers. We run a Rotobrush rotary brush system through the ductwork to dislodge debris at the duct wall, then a Nikro negative-pressure unit pulls the loosened contaminants out of the system. One thing we see regularly in Nellis AFB housing nearest the flight line: return-air filters load with a distinctly dark, sooty residue between service intervals, and that residue migrates into duct interiors in ways standard desert-dust cleanings don’t address. Read the full breakdown on our Air Duct Cleaning in Nellis AFB page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Nellis AFB
Dryer vent cleaning in Nellis AFB is a fire-prevention job, and on base it matters more than most places. Lint bypasses the trap in every home, but the fine Mojave dust that settles into vent lines here mixes with lint to form a denser, faster-building blockage. Long vent runs in standardized military housing add extra resistance, and a clogged dryer vent forces the appliance to run hotter and longer to move the same moisture. We clear the full run from dryer to exterior termination and leave it moving air freely. Details are on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Nellis AFB page.

What Nellis AFB 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."
