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 Sunnyvale, CA
Air duct cleaning in Sunnyvale runs $350-$700 for a typical ranch-style home, with most jobs completed in four to six hours and no need for you to leave the house. What makes Sunnyvale work different is what’s inside the walls: this city grew up fast in the 1950s through 1970s to house Lockheed Missiles and Space Company workers and early semiconductor teams, and the tract homes from that era often still carry their original fiberglass duct board through hot attics that bake it brittle year after year. If you’re noticing dust settling back on surfaces within days of cleaning, that aging ductwork is usually the reason. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll give you a written price before anyone touches a vent.
Why Sunnyvale Homes Are Different
Most of Sunnyvale’s single-family housing stock is ranch-style tract construction from the 1950s to 1970s, built on slab foundations with attic-mounted duct systems. That specific vintage creates a failure mode we rarely see in newer developments: fiberglass duct board that has delaminated after half a century of Sunnyvale’s hot, dry attic summers, releasing fine glass fibers into the air stream. Homeowners in neighborhoods like Ortega Park, Cherry Chase, and Serra often describe persistent dust that settles within 48 hours of a cleaning, a telltale sign that the ducts themselves, not just the air, need professional attention.
Sunnyvale’s Mediterranean climate also shapes how ducts degrade. Summers stay dry with low indoor humidity, so dust and particulates accumulate in ducts rather than getting moderated by moisture. Then wildfire season arrives. The smoke corridor that funnels Bay Area wildfire smoke down through the Santa Clara Valley can push AQI above 150 for multiple consecutive days, and when residents seal windows and run HVAC systems on recirculated air for days at a time, those fine PM2.5 particles saturate filters and settle deep into duct interiors. Condominium and apartment complexes built during later tech waves add shared-duct and rooftop-unit cleaning work to the mix, but the aerospace-era tracts remain the core of what we do in Sunnyvale. We plan every job around the house’s construction vintage, the attic condition, and whether wildfire smoke has been a recent factor.
Our Main Sunnyvale Services
Sunnyvale homeowners call us most often about two kinds of work. Both jobs begin the same way: a written price, shoe covers at the door, and drop cloths laid before equipment comes in.
Air Duct Cleaning in Sunnyvale
For Sunnyvale’s 1960s and 70s ranch homes, air duct cleaning means more than running a brush through the vents. It means inspecting attic-mounted duct runs for delaminated fiberglass duct board, removing decades of accumulated dust, and addressing the fine wildfire smoke particles that settle into duct interiors during fire season. We use truck-mounted Rotobrush and Nikro equipment sized to the job, not entry-level rental gear, and every completed job includes a photo of the clean-up before the crew leaves. Read the full breakdown here: Air Duct Cleaning in Sunnyvale.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Sunnyvale
In Sunnyvale’s slab-foundation ranch homes, dryer vents often route through attics with long, angled runs that catch lint fast. Add the county’s dry summers and the result is a vent that restricts airflow quietly until drying times stretch past an hour. Our technicians clear the full vent run, confirm airflow at the exterior termination point, and leave the area cleaner than they found it, drop cloths and shoe covers included. See Dryer Vent Cleaning in Sunnyvale for the full scope of the job and what it costs.

In Sunnyvale, the biggest price driver is construction vintage. Homes from the 1950s and 1960s often have fiberglass duct board that requires careful handling and, in some cases, partial replacement, which adds material and labor cost that newer flex-duct homes don’t carry. Wildfire smoke seasons also raise demand, but our price does not move with it: you get a written quote before work starts, and that is the number on the invoice.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Sunnyvale
Most Sunnyvale homeowners can schedule within a week, with same-week slots commonly available outside of wildfire smoke events. We coordinate dispatch from our San Francisco Bay Area office, but the crews you’ll meet at the door are local to the Sunnyvale area and know the housing stock.
For single-family homes in Sunnyvale’s older tracts, no HOA approval is required; the work happens entirely inside your own system. For condominiums and townhomes, HOA rules vary on roof access and shared-duct work, so check with your board before scheduling. We’re happy to adjust the job scope to fit what your HOA allows.
Not automatically. If your home sat under an AQI above 150 for several consecutive days while the HVAC ran on recirculated air, an inspection is worth it; otherwise, most Sunnyvale homes do well with a cleaning every three to five years depending on pets, occupancy, and renovation history. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll help you decide whether it’s time.

What Sunnyvale 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."
