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 Commerce, CA
Air duct cleaning in Commerce, CA typically costs $450-$750 for a full single-family home, and $1,200-$3,500 for a warehouse or distribution center, depending on system size and how heavily the ducts are fouled. What makes Commerce different from every city around it is the air itself: this is one of the most industrially dense municipalities in Southern California, and even the residential pockets in the northern part of the city sit surrounded by freight corridors, manufacturing plants, and constant diesel truck traffic. Our crews work here regularly, and we plan every Commerce job around the particulate load that comes with that territory. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll walk you through exactly what your system needs and what it will cost before anyone touches a vent.
Why Commerce Homes Are Different
Commerce presents a set of conditions you won’t find in most LA Basin cities. The city sits low in the basin where temperature inversions routinely trap smog, diesel exhaust, and industrial emissions close to ground level for extended periods. Outdoor air drawn into HVAC systems here carries a heavier particulate load than in hillside or coastal cities just miles away, which means filters clog faster and ducts foul sooner. The residential stock is concentrated and older, mostly 1940s through 1960s homes with original or partially replaced ductwork that was never designed to handle the particulate volume generated by surrounding industrial land use. But the majority of duct work in Commerce happens in a different building type entirely: warehouses, distribution centers, and light manufacturing facilities along Slauson Avenue and Washington Boulevard. In those buildings, our technicians regularly find duct interiors coated with a fine black diesel-soot residue, distinct from the typical dust and dander mix we see in residential LA work. That kind of buildup needs HEPA-rated negative-air equipment and more aggressive brush passes than a standard home job, and it’s a big part of why Commerce work is priced and planned differently.
Our Main Commerce Services
Most Commerce homeowners and building managers call us about two things: the ductwork moving air through their HVAC system, and the dryer vent carrying lint and heat out of the building. Both jobs are shaped by the city’s industrial air, and both get a written price before any work starts.
Air Duct Cleaning in Commerce
Air duct cleaning in Commerce means dealing with the diesel soot and industrial particulates that settle into supply and return lines faster than in surrounding cities. In homes, we’re pulling decades of accumulated dust, pet hair, and soot from 1940s-to-1960s-era ductwork. In warehouses and light manufacturing, we’re running commercial-scale protocols with HEPA filtration because standard residential equipment won’t cut it. Every job starts with a walkthrough, a written price, and a clear description of what we’ll do before we turn a machine on. See the full breakdown on our Air Duct Cleaning in Commerce page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Commerce
Dryer vents in Commerce clog with the same fine particulates that coat the ducts, plus lint. In older homes with short interior vent runs, the job is straightforward. In longer runs through attics or garages that open directly onto streets with heavy truck traffic, we often find a paste-like buildup of lint and diesel soot that reduces airflow and forces the dryer to work harder. We clean the full vent run, verify airflow at the exit point, and leave the laundry area as clean as we found it. Full details are on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Commerce page.

What Commerce Customers Say
"Ducts and dryer vent both. They put runners down the whole hall and wore booties. Spotless after, and they showed me photos of what came out. Worth every penny."
- Bonnie Vo"Spotless work. They laid drop cloths everywhere and I was honestly impressed there was zero mess at the end. Showed me the dirt they pulled out so I could see it was worth it."
- Shelby Dunham"New house, old dusty ducts. They were gentle in the house, laid down drop cloths, and double checked every register was sealed back up. Air smells fresh now."
