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 Andover, MA
Air duct cleaning in Andover, MA typically costs between $450 and $850 for a full single-family home, depending on square footage and system complexity. Most Andover jobs run longer than similar homes in neighboring towns because the duct runs are longer and the houses themselves are bigger. If you’re noticing dust settling back onto furniture within days of cleaning, or if certain rooms never seem to hold temperature, the ductwork in your Andover home may be overdue for a professional cleaning. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll give you a written price before any work begins.
Why Andover Homes Are Different
Andover absorbed a large wave of residential construction in the 1960s and 1970s, right when I-93 turned the Merrimack Valley into a practical commute to Boston. That building boom left the west and south sides of town with a dominant stock of ranch homes, split-levels, and early colonials – and most of those houses still carry their original sheet-metal or early flexible ductwork. That ductwork is now 50-plus years old. In most cases, it has never been professionally cleaned. The floor plans in these eras ran larger than comparable homes in Lawrence or Methuen, which means longer duct runs and a proportionally greater debris load. More linear feet of duct, more dust and dander moving through it, more reasons to clean it properly.
Andover’s position in the Merrimack River valley shapes the work too. Furnaces here typically run from October through April, and those long heating seasons push a steady stream of particulates through the system. Summer adds its own layer: valley humidity raises moisture levels in basement plenums and return-air chases, and systems that go uncleaned for years can develop mold in those damp, dark pockets. We open up return chases on Andover jobs expecting to find what the climate puts there, and we’re rarely surprised by what we see. We protect floors with shoe covers and drop cloths from the moment we walk in, and we photograph every clean-up before we leave.
Our Main Andover Services
Andover homeowners call us most often for two jobs: cleaning the ductwork that moves heated and cooled air through the house, and clearing the dryer vent that carries lint out of the laundry room. Each has its own page with pricing and detail.
Air Duct Cleaning in Andover
In Andover, a duct cleaning job usually means working through a larger system than the town’s older housing stock might suggest – long-travel supply runs, deep return chases, sometimes improvised retrofits in older homes that originally ran on steam heat. We use Rotobrush and Nikro equipment to agitate and extract debris from the full trunk-and-branch layout, not just the first few feet of vent you can see. Before we start, we hand you a written price for the whole system. That number does not change when the job gets complicated, because we already planned for the way Andover ducts were built. See the full breakdown on our Air Duct Cleaning in Andover page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Andover
Andover laundry rooms are often tucked into first-floor hallways or finished basements, which means dryer vents run long and sometimes bend through walls not designed for them. Lint builds in those bends, and a restricted vent makes the dryer run hotter and longer. We clean the full vent run from the dryer connection to the exterior cap and check airflow before we finish. Every job includes a written price before work starts and a photo of the cleanup before we leave. Get the specifics on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Andover page.

No permit is required for air duct cleaning or dryer vent cleaning in Andover. It’s a maintenance service, not a structural change. If your job uncovers something that does need town approval – like a damaged vent chase – we’ll tell you before any work proceeds.
We see this often in Shawsheen Village and other pre-war homes. The ductwork was run through walls and floors not designed for it, which creates dead-end pockets where debris collects. Our technicians expect those layouts and plan the cleaning around them, not through guesswork.

What Andover Customers Say
"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."
- Scott Hemmings"Friendly, calm crew that clearly cared about the house. Covered their shoes, protected the floors, and double checked they'd closed up every vent cover properly. Would have them back."
- Omar Zaid"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."
