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 Newark, NJ
Air duct cleaning in Newark typically costs between $350 and $600 for a whole-home system, and the job is usually completed in a single visit. What makes Newark different is the dust itself: a fine, oily mix of diesel soot from Port Newark truck routes, jet exhaust from Newark Liberty flight paths, and decades of accumulated debris inside pre-war ductwork. We plan every Newark job around that reality, with a written price before we start and a 365-Day Done Right Promise on the work. Call (323) 918-4345 for a free estimate.
Why Newark Homes Are Different
Most Newark homes were built before 1940 as brick row houses and tenements designed for radiator heat, not forced air. When central air was retrofitted in during the 1970s and 1980s, ductwork often went in through tight, improvised chases: sharp bends behind plaster walls, trunk lines squeezed into closets, return paths cut through floor cavities. That non-standard routing means standard cleaning equipment doesn’t always fit the job, and our technicians carry the adapters and inspection cameras needed to work inside those older systems without cutting extra access holes.
The climate adds a second layer. Newark’s humid summers push AC systems to run longer than in surrounding suburbs, and the dense urban heat island around the Ironbound and Downtown keeps compressors cycling well into October. More runtime means more outdoor air pulled through the system, and more of what’s in that air settling into the duct interior. We see the result on nearly every job in the East Ward: filters stained black-brown with a fine, oily particulate that is visually distinct from ordinary house dust, a direct signature of the port, freight rail, and truck arterials that surround the neighborhood.
Our Main Newark Services
The two calls we get most from Newark homeowners are whole-system air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own Newark page with pricing, process details, and neighborhood-specific notes.
Air Duct Cleaning in Newark
Our Air Duct Cleaning in Newark service starts with a camera inspection of your supply and return ducts, so we can see what’s actually in there before any tool goes in. Then we clean the full system with Rotobrush and Nikro equipment, including the trunk lines, branch runs, return drops, and the air handler cabinet. In older Newark homes we pay special attention to any mechanical spaces where asbestos-wrapped pipe insulation may be present, and we route around it rather than disturb it. Every job ends with a photo of the clean-up.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Newark
Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Newark service clears lint buildup from the entire vent run, from the dryer connection to the exterior termination. In Newark’s row houses and tenements, dryer vents are often long runs through interior walls or up through the roof, which means lint accumulates faster and is harder to reach. We clean the full run with professional equipment and check the exterior hood for proper airflow before we leave. A written price is provided before any work starts, so there’s no surprise on the invoice.

One flat price per system is agreed in writing before any work starts, and that price does not change once the crew is in your home.

What Newark 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."
