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 Oakhurst, CA
Air duct cleaning in Oakhurst is different from the work we do 30 miles downhill in the Central Valley. Here at 2,300 feet in the Sierra foothills, the ducts inside a 1970s cabin or a Yosemite vacation rental carry a specific kind of debris: fine gray-brown ash from wildfire seasons, pine pollen from dry summers, and the brittle dust of aging flex ductwork. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning brings the same home comfort standard to every Oakhurst job: a written price before we start, professional Rotobrush and Nikro equipment, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise on the work. Call (323) 918-4345 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why Oakhurst Homes Are Different
The 2020 Creek Fire burned nearly 380,000 acres directly around Oakhurst, and even homes that never faced a flame took smoke into their HVAC systems. Owners who assumed their ducts were fine because the structure survived have opened their supply vents to find a visible gray-brown ash residue along the duct lining. That is a signature of smoke infiltration from the Creek Fire and later burn seasons, and it is not something a standard once-over handles. In Oakhurst, air duct cleaning is frequently smoke remediation, not routine upkeep.
The housing stock adds another layer. Most Oakhurst homes were built between the 1960s and 1980s, a mix of cabin-style construction, manufactured units, and vacation properties. Their flex ductwork has spent decades in dry mountain air, which makes it brittle and prone to small gaps that pull attic dust and forest debris into the system. A large share of Oakhurst properties are short-term vacation rentals for Yosemite visitors. Those HVAC systems run hard during tourist season, then sit dormant for months, a pattern that invites rodent intrusion, mold, and the kind of accumulated grime that surprises owners when they reopen the house. We plan every Oakhurst job around these realities, not around a generic checklist.
Our Main Oakhurst Services
Oakhurst homeowners and vacation-rental managers call us most often for two jobs, each covered in detail on its own Oakhurst page:
Air Duct Cleaning in Oakhurst
Most Oakhurst duct cleaning jobs here begin with smoke and ash. We inspect the full system, then run professional Rotobrush and Nikro agitation and extraction equipment through the supply and return sides, pulling out the fine particulate that has settled since the last burn season. In closed-up vacation cabins especially, we commonly find the gray-brown ash signature along the duct lining that tells owners their home did not escape the Creek Fire’s reach. Floors, furniture, and pet areas are protected with shoe covers and drop cloths on every visit, and when we are finished, you receive a photo of the clean-up before we leave. See Air Duct Cleaning in Oakhurst for full pricing and what the job includes.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Oakhurst
Dryer vents in Oakhurst cabins clog faster than owners expect because dry mountain air pulls loose lint into the vent run, and vacation properties often go months between uses, letting that lint cake and attract pests. A slow-drying dryer or a musty smell from the laundry area usually points to a restricted vent. We clean the full run from the dryer to the exterior termination, check for gaps in the vent pipe, and confirm proper airflow before we finish. You get the same written price upfront and the same photo of the completed work. Read Dryer Vent Cleaning in Oakhurst for the full scope and local pricing.

Every Oakhurst quote is a written price for the full system before any work begins, so you will never see a larger invoice once the van is in the driveway.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Oakhurst
Most Oakhurst homes can be scheduled within a few business days, depending on the season. Vacation rental owners preparing for a new booking get priority when we know the turnover date, and our local crew coordinates with the property manager so the work is done before guests arrive.
No. Air duct and dryer vent cleaning is considered routine maintenance and does not require a permit in Oakhurst or Madera County. If your property is part of an HOA, no approval is needed for work done inside the home, but we are happy to schedule around any HOA quiet hours if you mention them when you call.
Yes, and it is a significant part of the Oakhurst work we do. HVAC systems in short-term rentals alternate between heavy tourist-season use and long dormancy, which invites dust, ash, and pest debris into the ducts. We schedule around turnover days and send a photo of the completed work so property managers have visual proof the system was cleaned before the next booking. Call (323) 918-4345 to put a rental on our schedule.

What Oakhurst 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."
