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 Southwood Acres, CT
Air duct cleaning in Southwood Acres, CT typically costs $450-$780 for a whole-home system, depending on the number of furnaces and the condition of your ductwork. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning specializes in the 1950s-1970s ranch and split-level homes that define this Tolland County community, where original sheet-metal ducts have spent 50-70 years circulating oil-fired heat through Connecticut winters. If you’re planning for the job, call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Why Southwood Acres Homes Are Different
Southwood Acres is a mid-20th-century planned residential community where most homes were built between the 1950s and early 1980s. The housing stock is overwhelmingly single-story ranches and bi-level split-levels, and many still run their original galvanized or early sheet-metal duct runs through uninsulated basement ceilings and interior chases. That matters because those ducts were sized and sealed to standards that predate modern filtration. Decades of oil-fired forced-air heat have left combustion residue, dust, and crumbling joint mastic inside systems most owners have never had professionally opened.
Tolland County’s heavily forested, inland character adds another layer. High seasonal pollen and organic debris enter through aging return-air grilles, and the cold, damp winters with ground-level humidity and frequent freeze-thaw cycles create condensation inside poorly insulated basement ducts. That accelerates mold and dust-mite buildup. We work around nap schedules and pet areas, with shoe covers and drop cloths down before any equipment comes inside.
Our Main Southwood Acres Services
Southwood Acres homeowners call us most often about two things: air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own Southwood Acres page with full detail, local pricing, and what to expect.
Air Duct Cleaning in Southwood Acres
Air duct cleaning here often means working with 50-70 year old ductwork that has never been opened. We frequently find a faint soot film coating supply trunks in Southwood Acres homes that converted from oil to natural gas in the 1980s or 1990s, a residue the furnace filter never touches. Our technicians use Rotobrush and Nikro equipment to agitate and extract what’s built up, then we show you before-and-after photos before we pack up. For full pricing and what the job involves, see Air Duct Cleaning in Southwood Acres.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Southwood Acres
Dryer vents in Southwood Acres split-levels and ranches tend to run longer than they should, often through interior chases or basement ceilings with multiple turns. Lint accumulates at every bend, and with a cold, damp Tolland County winter outside, that damp lint packs tighter and restricts airflow more quickly than in drier climates. We clean the entire run from dryer to exterior termination and confirm proper airflow before we leave. Details and pricing are on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Southwood Acres page.

What Southwood Acres 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."

- 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."
