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 Tustin, CA
Air duct cleaning in Tustin runs between $390 and $690 for a full-home system, with most single-family homes landing around $450 to $560 depending on vent count and duct condition. Tustin is a different job than most Orange County cities because so much of its housing stock was built in the same narrow window, from the late 1980s through the mid 1990s, and that original ductwork is now failing in predictable ways. If you live in Tustin Ranch or Old Town Tustin, call us at (469) 972-3151 for a written quote before any work is scheduled.
Why Tustin Homes Are Different
Tustin sits on the inland edge of Orange County where Santa Ana wind events arrive with real force. These winds push fine construction dust, wildfire ash from inland fires, and desert particulates into return-air systems throughout Tustin Ranch, Old Town, and the neighborhoods around Tustin Legacy. Duct systems here simply accumulate debris faster between service intervals than homes in coastal cities like Newport Beach.
The housing stock adds a second layer. Tustin Ranch, built primarily between 1987 and 1995, is filled with tract homes that were originally fitted with corrugated flexible ductwork. That flex is now 30 to 35 years old and well past its reliable service life. Technicians working Tustin Ranch consistently find that the inner mylar liners of original late-1980s flex duct have cracked and begun shedding debris directly into the airstream. It is a failure mode we see over and over in this specific zip code because so many homes were built within the same seven-year construction window and have never had ductwork replaced. Old Town Tustin adds 1940s through 1960s homes that may still carry older rigid duct configurations or early-generation insulated flex that has never been cleaned once.
The Tustin Legacy redevelopment of the former MCAS Tustin base is a third factor. It is one of the largest urban infill projects in California, and it has generated years of sustained heavy construction dust. That dust migrates into the ductwork of adjacent Tustin Ranch neighborhoods. Combined with aging flex duct, Tustin homeowners face an above-average duct contamination burden tied directly to this city-specific activity.
Our Main Tustin Services
Tustin homeowners call us most often for two jobs: full air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each service has its own dedicated Tustin page with pricing, FAQs, and detailed timelines.
Air Duct Cleaning in Tustin
In Tustin, air duct cleaning usually means pulling years of Tustin Legacy construction dust, wind-driven particulates, and shedding mylar liner debris out of the system. We run a Rotobrush rotary brush through the ductwork to dislodge debris at the duct wall, then a Nikro negative-pressure unit pulls the loosened material out while Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration keeps it from re-entering your living space. The most common finding in Tustin Ranch is cracked flex liner, which means the system is actively contaminating your air, not just dirty. Learn more on our dedicated Air Duct Cleaning in Tustin page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Tustin
Dryer vents in Tustin plug quickly because lint combines with the fine dust that Santa Ana winds push into exterior vent openings. Old Town and Tustin Ranch homes both run long vent runs through walls and attics, and a blocked run means longer dry times plus a real fire hazard. We clean the full run from dryer to exterior termination, removing the lint bypass accumulation that standard cleaning leaves behind. See Dryer Vent Cleaning in Tustin for pricing and timelines.

What Tustin Customers Say
"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."
- Terrence Boyd"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."
