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 Plano, TX
Air duct cleaning in Plano, TX runs between $395 and $950 for most homes, depending on home size, number of systems, and the condition of the ductwork. Plano’s housing stock is dominated by 1,800 to 3,200 square foot homes built in the 1980s and early 1990s, which means our crews work on aging flexible ductwork and fiberglass duct-board plenums installed in attics that routinely climb past 130°F in summer. That combination, unique to Plano in this severity, means the job is less about routine maintenance and more about addressing real degradation that has had decades to accumulate. If you’re noticing dust on furniture within days of dusting or inconsistent airflow to upstairs bedrooms, call us at (469) 972-3151.
Why Plano Homes Are Different
Plano’s explosive build-out between roughly 1975 and 1995 took the population from 17,000 to over 125,000, and the homes built during that window now sit at the exact age where original duct systems start failing in measurable ways. Most of these homes have never had professional duct cleaning since original construction. The flexible ductwork running through non-conditioned attics in neighborhoods near Independence Parkway and Spring Creek has baked under 130 to 150°F heat for three or four decades. That sustained heat degrades the inner mylar liner, which then flakes and enters the airstream as fine particulate. The fiberglass duct-board plenums common in this era of Plano construction carry their own problem: surface erosion that loosens insulation fibers into the supply side.
We also see a pattern specific to Plano’s Blackland Prairie soil. Homes built on expansive clay experience seasonal foundation movement, and that movement quietly torques sheet-metal plenum connections at the air handler. We regularly pull back attic insulation in west Plano and find the supply plenum has separated a half-inch or more from the unit, pulling superheated attic air, often loaded with blown-in insulation fibers, directly into the duct system. That’s not something a standard cleaning resolves. For Plano homeowners, it changes the job from “clean the ducts” to “find out what your ducts are actually doing.” Our technicians are trained to spot these separations during the cleaning and document them with photos so the decision about repair is yours, made with facts in hand.
Plano’s position in Collin County also matters. Collin County carries one of the highest allergy burdens in Texas. Spring mountain cedar and oak pollen give way to fall ragweed, and because homes run the AC so many months of the year, that pollen works its way into duct systems and recirculates. This gives Plano residents a strong year-round health motivation to address duct contamination, not just an aesthetic one.
Our Main Plano Services
Kestrel Air Duct Cleaning provides two services in Plano: full air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own dedicated page with specifics, but here’s what matters at a glance for Plano homeowners.
Air Duct Cleaning in Plano
Full air duct cleaning in Plano covers the whole system: supply runs, return runs, the plenums, and the air handler cabinet. We connect a Nikro negative-air unit to create continuous suction, then run a Rotobrush rotary system through each run to dislodge debris at the duct wall. For homes in northwest Plano with long two-story flex-duct runs and starved upstairs registers, this low-velocity accumulation is often heavy, and the work is slower than on a typical single-story. We also inspect for the plenum separations so common on Plano’s clay soil. Read the full breakdown on our Air Duct Cleaning in Plano page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Plano
Dryer vent cleaning removes the lint and debris that restrict airflow through the exhaust line. Plano’s two-story homes often have long vent runs from an upstairs laundry room to the roofline or soffit, sometimes 25 feet or more. Every bend in that run is a lint trap. We clean the full length, including the lint trap bypass at the dryer, and confirm airflow at the termination point. This service takes about an hour in most Plano homes. Details, including what we watch for in this area, are on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Plano page.

What pushes the price up in Plano most often is attic access that’s tight or partially finished over, plus separation at the plenum connections that requires reconnection before cleaning can proceed. In every case, the written price is in your hands before a single vent is touched. Dale Whitmore runs the Plano operation with one rule above all: no doorstep revisions, ever.

What Plano 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."
