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 Terrell Hills, TX
Air duct cleaning in Terrell Hills, TX typically costs $300-$600 for a whole-home system, with larger mid-century homes running higher because of sprawling duct layouts and decades of accumulated dust. What makes Terrell Hills work different is the housing stock: big custom homes built between the 1940s and 1960s, many over 3,000 square feet, with original or early-retrofit metal ductwork running through unconditioned attics that bake above 150°F every summer. Add the fine dust drifting from Fort Sam Houston’s perimeter and cedar pollen season, and these systems load up faster and heavier than newer tract-home builds. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll walk you through exactly what your home needs before any work begins.
Why Terrell Hills Homes Are Different
Terrell Hills sits directly against Fort Sam Houston, and that border changes the air inside the homes along it. Military vehicle traffic, helicopter operations, and ongoing base construction put fine caliche-clay dust into the air, and the prevailing patterns push it into the return plenums of homes on the fence line faster than anywhere else in the San Antonio area. Our technicians working those streets pull noticeably denser accumulations from returns than on jobs just a few blocks west, which tells us the base perimeter is a real dust source, not a theoretical one.
The housing stock compounds it. These are large, custom mid-century homes with complex duct layouts, often original metal ductwork in unconditioned attic spaces. Mountain cedar season, peaking December through February, floods the region with pollen fine enough to slip past older, less airtight building envelopes and load up HVAC filters and ducts. Summer attic heat accelerates the breakdown of duct insulation and joint seals, opening gaps where dusty attic air gets pulled into the supply side. A clean on a 3,500-square-foot Terrell Hills home is a longer, more involved job than a clean on a 1,800-square-foot tract house, and the price should reflect that honestly.
Our Main Terrell Hills Services
Most Terrell Hills homeowners call us for the two jobs that keep indoor air moving cleanly: whole-home air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own dedicated Terrell Hills page below.
Air Duct Cleaning in Terrell Hills
Air duct cleaning in Terrell Hills means working through return and supply plenums, branch runs, and registers in homes where the ductwork is often sixty-plus years old and hasn’t been opened in decades. We use Rotobrush and Nikro equipment to agitate and extract what’s settled inside, including the fine cedar pollen and caliche dust these homes collect. The job takes longer than a newer home because the runs are longer, the layouts are custom, and the attics are hot. We protect floors with shoe covers and drop cloths from the moment our crew walks in, and you get a written price before anything starts. Air Duct Cleaning in Terrell Hills
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Terrell Hills
Dryer vents in Terrell Hills run through walls chases and sometimes across long attics, and lint builds up faster when vents are long, kinked, or poorly sloped. A clogged vent makes the dryer work harder, wastes energy, and is a genuine fire risk. We remove the accumulated lint, check the vent run, and confirm proper airflow before we leave. The same written-price rule applies here: you know the cost before we touch the wall. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Terrell Hills
