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 Thompsonville, CT
Air duct cleaning in Thompsonville typically runs $450-$700 for a whole-home system, and the work usually takes 3-5 hours. Thompsonville homes aren’t like the postwar subdivisions five miles down the road. These are mill worker cottages and tenements built between 1880 and 1920, with forced-air ductwork retrofitted decades after the walls went up. That changes how we clean them, what we find inside, and why a written price before we start matters as much as it does here. If you’re wondering what it will cost at your house, call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll walk through it.
Why Thompsonville Homes Are Different
Thompsonville grew up around the Bigelow-Hartford Carpet mills, and the housing stock still tells that story. Compact wood-frame cottages and two- and three-family tenements line streets near the old mill site, nearly all of them built before central heating existed. When forced air arrived in the 1950s and 60s, ductwork was shoehorned into wall cavities and crawlspaces that were never designed for it. The result is what we see daily in Thompsonville: 60 to 70-year-old duct runs squeezed through narrow, uninsulated chases, with gaps that pull in unconditioned air, dust, and whatever the crawlspace has to offer.
Summer humidity makes it worse. Thompsonville sits in the Connecticut River Valley, where moist air pools between the valley walls. In low-lying mill-era homes near the river corridor, that humidity drives mold and biofilm growth inside old, poorly sealed ducts, especially basement and first-floor runs. We don’t just clean these systems. We look at them the way a Thompsonville homeowner has to, because the ductwork here predates modern filtration standards by a long margin.
Our Main Thompsonville Services
Two jobs account for nearly every call we take from Thompsonville homeowners. Each has its own page with local pricing, what to expect, and the Thompsonville-specific conditions that shape the work.
Air Duct Cleaning in Thompsonville
The duct systems in Thompsonville’s mill-era homes carry decades of dust, and the 1950s retrofit insulation wrap we often find has a habit of shedding fibers directly into the airstream. Before any cleaning starts, we inspect for that deteriorated wrap, because cleaning around it without addressing it would just stir fibers back into circulation. Our crews use Rotobrush and Nikro equipment sized for tight wall chases, and floors are protected with shoe covers and drop cloths from the first step inside. Every job includes a written price before we begin and a photo of the clean-up before we leave. Details are on the Air Duct Cleaning in Thompsonville page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Thompsonville
Dryer vents in Thompsonville tenements and cottages often run much longer than they should, snaking through old wall cavities or up through uninsulated chases where lint has been accumulating since the laundry hookup was installed. That’s a fire hazard worth taking seriously, and it’s also why dryers here run hotter and take longer than they should. We clean the full vent run, check the exterior termination, and leave you with before-and-after photos so you can see the difference. The full breakdown, including what pushes price up in Thompsonville, is on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Thompsonville page.

What pushes price up in Thompsonville is access.

Whatever the number, it’s a written price agreed to before work starts, not an estimate that grows once the van is in the driveway.

What Thompsonville 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."
