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 Ontario, CA
Air duct cleaning in Ontario costs between $450 and $950 for a full single-system home, with most houses around the 91761 and 91764 ZIP codes landing in the $550-$750 range depending on ductwork age and accessible length. Ontario’s position at the I-10/I-15 freight convergence and directly beside Ontario International Airport means your ducts collect a heavier, darker particulate load than almost anywhere else in the Inland Empire. We’re Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning, and we quote one written price before any work begins. Call (469) 972-3151 for a free estimate.
Why Ontario Homes Are Different
Ontario sits at the convergence of the I-10 and I-15 freeways, the nation’s busiest inland freight corridor, directly adjacent to Ontario International Airport. That geography shows up inside your ducts. Homes here accumulate diesel soot from constant heavy-truck traffic, jet exhaust particulates from ONT flight paths, and desert dust blown in by Santa Ana winds funneling through the Cajon Pass into the Inland Valley. The Inland Valley itself acts as a natural particulate trap: the San Gabriel and San Bernardino mountain ranges block marine airflow, letting smog and PM2.5 concentrate at ground level. A South Coast AQMD monitoring pattern consistently flags this area among the worst in the country for ground-level particulate matter.
The housing stock compounds it. Ontario’s core residential areas are dominated by tract homes built from the 1960s through the 1980s, and many still run on original flex-duct or early fiberglass-lined metal ductwork that has turned brittle and debris-trapping over the years. Around the historic Euclid Avenue district, 1920s-1950s homes had central HVAC retrofitted into floor plans never designed for duct runs, which means irregular paths prone to buildup and disconnection. Technicians working within a mile or two of the warehouse corridors along Milliken and Archibald Avenues, where diesel drayage trucks idle around the clock, routinely pull duct debris with a distinctly dark, carbon-heavy profile that sets Ontario jobs apart from cleaner suburban markets a few miles north. Duct cleaning here reads differently: it is not cosmetic maintenance, it is an air-quality correction.
Our Main Ontario Services
Two services account for nearly every call we take from Ontario homeowners, and each has its own dedicated page with local pricing, what the job involves, and the guarantee in writing.
Air Duct Cleaning in Ontario
Whole-system air duct cleaning in Ontario means pulling decades of accumulated diesel soot, construction dust, and silica-rich desert grit out of your ductwork using professional-grade negative-air extraction. We run a Nikro or Abatement Technologies negative-pressure unit to hold the system under vacuum while a Rotobrush rotary brush agitates the duct walls, so loosened particulate does not re-enter your living space. The Inland Valley’s particulate load means Ontario systems often run visibly darker than comparable homes in Rancho Cucamonga or Claremont. Read the full breakdown on our Air Duct Cleaning in Ontario page, including flat-rate pricing by system type.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Ontario
Dryer vents in Ontario clog faster than almost anywhere in the region, thanks to the same fine desert dust and truck-generated particulate that settles into everything. A dryer vent full of carbon-heavy lint and grit forces your dryer to run longer, drives up utility costs, and is the leading cause of clothes-dryer fires in single-family homes. Our technicians clear the full run from lint trap to exterior termination, including the lint trap bypass that the flexible hose connection often misses. See our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Ontario page for pricing, signs of a clog, and what the 365-Day Done Right Promise covers on vent work.

What pushes the price up in Ontario specifically is ductwork age and accessibility. A 1970s tract home with original flex-duct and a furnace in a tight closet will take longer than a newer build with clean access, and long runs through slab foundations common in Inland Valley construction add labor. The written price is in your hands before a single vent is touched, and that figure does not change at the door.

What Ontario 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."
