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 Franklin, TN
Air duct cleaning in Franklin, TN typically costs between $450 and $900 for a whole-home system, depending on square footage, number of zones, and how much construction dust has accumulated. Most Franklin homes we visit are large two- or three-zone properties built between 1995 and 2020, which means longer duct runs, more returns, and more places for drywall dust and pet dander to settle. We’re Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning, and we approach every Franklin job with a written price before we start, professional Rotobrush and Nikro equipment, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise on the finished work. Call (323) 918-4345 and a live person will answer, day or night.
Why Franklin Homes Are Different
Franklin’s housing stock is unlike what you’ll find in much of Middle Tennessee. The city grew fast between 2000 and 2020, producing block after block of 3,000 to 5,000-plus square foot homes in planned communities. Those homes have two or three HVAC zones, long branching supply runs, and multiple return intakes, usually with the air handler in the attic or a mechanical closet. A system like that moves a lot of air, but it also holds a lot of dust. In developments like Westhaven and Sullivan Farms, many systems were running while neighboring phases were still being framed and drywalled, so the returns pulled construction dust for months before the subdivision was even finished. We regularly open return boots in homes that are only 8 to 12 years old and find a thick gray layer of drywall dust that has been cycling through the blower and back into the living spaces ever since.
The other thing that shapes Franklin work is the climate. Summers here are long and humid, with the Harpeth River valley holding moisture and the HVAC system running nearly nonstop from May through September. Add Middle Tennessee’s pollen cycles: Eastern red cedar in late winter, oak and hickory in April and May, ragweed in September; and you get a steady stream of particulate matter moving through the return air intakes into the ductwork. Homes with pets or kids see that load increase even faster. The older pocket of homes near the historic downtown core is different still, many of them pre-1970s houses where HVAC was retrofitted into crawlspaces and closets that were never designed for ductwork, creating tight turns and irregular runs that make access a genuinely tricky job. We plan every Franklin visit around the construction of the house, the age of the system, and the season we’re in, because all three change the work.
Our Main Franklin Services
Franklin homeowners call us most for the two jobs below. Each has its own Franklin page with full pricing, sub-job details, and local FAQs. Here’s a quick summary of what each involves in Franklin specifically.
Air Duct Cleaning in Franklin
Air duct cleaning in Franklin means routing professional-grade equipment through the long, multi-zone runs common in homes built during the city’s 2000-2020 boom. We use Rotobrush and Nikro systems sized for 3,500 to 5,000 square foot homes, not the entry-level gear that stalls on the third floor of a Westhaven or Berry Farms property. The typical job here runs four to six hours because of the number of returns and the amount of construction-era dust those systems pulled in during the build-out years. We also encounter a lot of first-generation biofilm inside supply plenums on the humid side of the Harpeth valley, which is exactly what a thorough mechanical brushing removes. The full breakdown, including pricing by home size and zone count, is on the service hub: Air Duct Cleaning in Franklin.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Franklin
Franklin’s larger homes often put the laundry room on an upper floor or in a central hallway, which means the dryer vent run can be 15 to 25 feet, sometimes with a 90-degree turn or two. Lint builds faster in those longer runs, and a restricted vent makes the dryer work harder and run hotter. We clean the full run from the dryer to the exterior termination, pull the lint out with professional equipment, and check the outside flap for proper operation. Homes in older Franklin neighborhoods often have short, direct vent runs that look easy but have not been cleaned in years, and those need attention just as much. Full pricing and local detail are on the service hub: Dryer Vent Cleaning in Franklin.

What Franklin 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."
