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 Westerville, OH
Air duct cleaning in Westerville runs between $450 and $950 for most whole-home systems, depending on home size, number of returns, and how much debris has settled in the runs. What makes Westerville jobs different is the housing stock: thousands of 1980s and 1990s colonials and split-levels with original flex duct now showing its age, plus the older Uptown homes where retrofitted ductwork runs through wall cavities that were never designed for forced air. If your registers blow dust or your upstairs feels like a different climate zone from your main floor, call us at (469) 972-3151 for a straight answer and a written price before any work begins.
Why Westerville Homes Are Different
Westerville’s residential growth came in waves, and the ductwork reflects it. The subdivisions along State Route 3 and Africa Road went up quickly in the 1980s and 1990s, mostly two-story colonials and split-levels with long horizontal duct runs through attic and basement spaces. Those systems are now 30 to 40 years old, and in many homes the original flex duct has never been touched. Central Ohio summers put 130°F-plus heat into unconditioned attics for months at a stretch, which degrades flex duct liner material over time. When that liner sheds, it sends particulates into the living space every time the blower kicks on.
The older Uptown Westerville neighborhood is a different challenge altogether. Pre-1940s homes there converted from radiator heat to forced air during the 1950s and 60s, which meant running ductwork through wall cavities that were never framed for it. Those passages are narrow, irregular, and often inaccessible to standard cleaning tools. We use professional-grade equipment sized and adapted for exactly that kind of retrofit work, and our technicians know what to expect before they arrive.
The climate compounds all of this. Westerville HVAC systems run hard through humid summers and cold, dry winters. Spring tree pollen and late-summer ragweed both hit the Columbus metro heavily, and the humidity swings that come with central Ohio weather create conditions where biological growth takes hold on duct surfaces and fiberglass liner. A system that has gone decades without cleaning in this climate is not a cosmetic problem. It is a filtration and air quality problem, and it shows up in the dust that returns to your furniture two days after you wipe it down.
Our Main Westerville Services
Westerville homeowners call us most often for two jobs: whole-home air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own page with local pricing, what the work involves, and what to expect during the visit.
Air Duct Cleaning in Westerville
Whole-home air duct cleaning in Westerville means pulling accumulated dust, pet dander, pollen, and degraded liner material out of your supply and return runs. In the 1990s-era colonials along the Muirfield-adjacent subdivisions, our technicians frequently find builder-grade flex duct that has sagged at support points, creating low pockets where condensation and debris collect. Those pockets are where biological growth starts, and they are exactly what a thorough cleaning targets. We use negative-air extraction to pull loosened material out of the system while HEPA filtration keeps it from re-entering your rooms. Everything is documented with before-and-after photos of your own ducts. Read the full breakdown of Air Duct Cleaning in Westerville.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Westerville
Dryer vent cleaning in Westerville addresses a specific local failure pattern: long vent runs through basements and exterior walls collecting lint in stages until airflow drops and drying times climb. In split-levels especially, the vent path often angles through multiple framing cavities, and a partial clog is easy to miss from the outside. We clean the full run from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, checking for sagging sections, crushed transitions, and bird guard blockages. The job typically takes under an hour and we show you the debris we removed before we leave. See Dryer Vent Cleaning in Westerville for local pricing and what the visit covers.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Westerville, OH
| Service | Typical range in Westerville |
|---|---|
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (single system, up to 12 vents) | $450 - $650 |
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (larger home, 13-20 vents) | $550 - $800 |
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (large home, 21+ vents or dual systems) | $700 - $950 |

| Air duct cleaning plus dryer vent cleaning (combined job) | $500 - $1,050 |

What pushes a Westerville job toward the upper end of the range is home size, the number of returns, and how much debris has accumulated in runs that have never been opened. Homes with second-floor trunks running through unconditioned attic knee walls often take longer because access is tighter and the build-up is heavier. Whatever the number, it is written down and agreed to before a single vent is touched. No door-step revisions, no per-vent upsell.

What Westerville 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."
