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.
Air Duct Cleaning Company in Napa, CA
Air duct cleaning in Napa typically costs between $390 and $1,100 for a whole-home system, depending on home size, duct condition, and whether wildfire smoke residue or earthquake damage is part of the job. We’re Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve built our entire process around what Napa homes actually go through: vineyard dust in the fall, smoke events that push ash through return vents, and aging ductwork in mid-century ranch homes. When you call (323) 918-4345, you’ll get a written price before any work starts, so you know the number before we even pull up to the house.
Why Napa Homes Are Different
Napa sits at the center of Wine Country wildfire country. The 2017 Nuns and Atlas fires and the 2020 Glass Fire burned directly in the surrounding hills, driving smoke and fine ash particulates into valley-floor HVAC systems on a scale unmatched in neighboring cities. Compounding this, the vineyards encircling residential neighborhoods generate seasonal agricultural dust from fall harvest operations, sulfur spraying, and soil tilling, creating a recurring dual-source particulate burden inside Napa ductwork that makes professional cleaning a genuine public-health issue, not a routine upsell. After the 2020 Glass Fire, technicians pulling thick gray ash plugs from return-air boots in homes that appeared physically undamaged became a common sight; fine smoke particulates had bypassed standard 1-inch filters and packed into duct bends, a problem unique to Napa’s position directly downwind of recurring Wine Country fire events.
The housing stock adds another layer. Napa’s valley floor is heavily populated with ranch-style and modest tract homes built from the 1950s through the 1970s, many retaining original or lightly modified duct systems that were further stressed by the August 2014 South Napa earthquake, a 6.0 magnitude event that can crack flex duct, loosen joints, and deposit drywall and insulation debris inside return plenums. Downtown Napa also has a concentrated stock of Victorian and early-Craftsman homes where ductwork was retrofitted well after original construction, often with non-standard routing and aging sheet metal. When you combine older duct designs, earthquake stress, wildfire smoke, and vineyard dust, Napa systems look different on the inside than homes in most other Bay Area cities.
Napa’s valley geography acts as a natural smoke funnel, too. The surrounding hills channel wildfire smoke downward onto the valley floor during Diablo wind events each fall, and the cool overnight inversion layer traps particulates at ground level, exactly where residential HVAC return vents draw air. The combination of heavy summer AC use, with temperatures regularly exceeding 100°F, and smoke-saturated fall air means systems cycle contaminated air repeatedly before homeowners notice degraded indoor air quality.
Our Main Napa Services
The two services Napa homeowners call us about most are air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own page where you can see pricing, photos, and exactly how the work goes. Here’s a quick look at both.
Air Duct Cleaning in Napa
Air duct cleaning for a Napa home usually runs $390 to $1,100 depending on the size of the system and how much wildfire smoke residue and vineyard dust has settled into the ductwork. We run professional-grade Rotobrush and Nikro equipment through every supply and return line, then clean the boots, plenums, and registers. In the older ranch homes and Victorian retrofits around downtown, we often find drywall debris from the 2014 earthquake still sitting in return plenums, a problem we address during the same visit. You can read more about our Air Duct Cleaning in Napa page. We always bring shoe covers and drop cloths, and we give you a written price before any work starts.

Dryer Vent Cleaning in Napa
Dryer vent cleaning runs $120 to $260 for most Napa homes, though longer vent runs or hard-to-reach exterior terminations can push it toward the higher end. The concern here isn’t just lint; Napa’s fall wildfire smoke leaves a fine film inside dryer vents that mixes with lint and reduces airflow faster than in coastal cities. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Napa page walks through what a typical job looks like. When we leave, the dryer vent is clear from the dryer connection to the outside cap, and you get a photo of the clean-up before we go.

Brands We Service in Napa
The equipment inside Napa homes varies a lot, from older systems in 1960s tract homes to newer installations in hillside builds. We service and clean ductwork tied to Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman equipment, and we carry a stock of common replacement parts locally so we don’t have to schedule a follow-up for basic needs. You can visit our brands page to see which systems we most commonly work on and how to tell what’s in your house before you call.

What Napa Customers Say
"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."
- 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."
