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 North Tonawanda, NY
Air duct cleaning in North Tonawanda, NY typically costs $350-$550 for a full-home system and usually takes 3-4 hours. Homes here are different: many were built between 1910 and 1955, and a surprising number still run their original sheet-metal ductwork, sized for coal furnaces that converted to gas generations ago. Add in lake-effect snow from Lake Ontario pushing the heating season from October into late April, and those ducts move more air, more months of the year, than almost anywhere else in the Buffalo metro. Call us at (323) 918-4345 for a written, flat-rate quote before any work begins.
Why North Tonawanda Homes Are Different
North Tonawanda’s housing stock tells the story of the lumber and manufacturing boom that built the city. Houses in neighborhoods like Old Town and the blocks off Oliver Street were mostly framed between the 1910s and 1950s to house workers at the Harrison Radiator complex and the lumber yards that lined the Erie Barge Canal. Those homes were designed around gravity-fed coal furnaces, which meant oversized trunk lines and register boots sized for air that moved slower and cooler than what modern forced-air systems push. When the gas conversion wave hit after WWII, nobody re-ducted those houses. They connected new burners to old tin and walked away.
What that means for a cleaning project is specific. The plenum boxes and boots in these homes often carry a coating of coal soot that has been sitting there since before the first TV antenna went up on the roof. The ducts are frequently buried behind renovations: dropped ceilings over original registers, flooring run over boot openings, drywall patches hiding clean-out access. And because the Erie Barge Canal corridor holds humidity through the warmer months, any dust in those uninsulated ducts becomes a comfortable place for mold and mildew to settle. We work around all of it, and we’ll tell you what we found before we tell you what we did about it.
Our Main North Tonawanda Services
North Tonawanda homeowners call us for two jobs more than anything else. Each has its own page with full pricing, what to expect, and the local detail behind the work.
Air Duct Cleaning in North Tonawanda
Full-system air duct cleaning here means opening the trunk lines, branch runs, plenum, and registers, and removing what has been collecting since the house was coal-heated. On a North Tonawanda job, we’re especially careful with older register boots that may be rusted thin or partially obstructed by flooring. We bring Rotobrush equipment sized for older, larger-diameter trunk lines so the agitation actually reaches the walls of the duct, not just the air in the middle. Read the full breakdown on our Air Duct Cleaning in North Tonawanda page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in North Tonawanda
Dryer vents in North Tonawanda’s older homes run longer and through tighter spaces than in newer builds, often exiting through the roof or snaking across an unfinished basement to a side-wall cap. Add winter conditions and the humidity near the canal, and lint that would tumble through a short vent in a southern climate tends to pack into the elbows and cap screens. We clean the full run from the dryer to the outside cap, then photograph the cap after we’re done. Details are on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in North Tonawanda page.

What North Tonawanda 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."
