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 Burbank, CA
Air duct cleaning in Burbank costs between $350 and $750 for a typical 3-bedroom home, depending on the number of systems and the age of the ductwork. Burbank jobs are different because so many homes were built between 1945 and 1965, with original rigid sheet-metal ducts that have never been opened. Add the aircraft exhaust settling over neighborhoods near Hollywood Burbank Airport and you get a particulate load that most other LA-area cities simply don’t see. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning handles this with professional equipment from brands like Nikro and Rotobrush, and every quote is written before work starts. Call (323) 918-4345 to talk through your home.
Why Burbank Homes Are Different
Burbank sits at the eastern edge of the San Fernando Valley, where the Verdugo foothills trap smog against the city rather than letting it drift toward the coast. The monitoring stations here have historically ranked among the smoggiest in the LA Basin, which means the air pulled through your return grilles carries a heavier particulate load than what you’d find in Glendale or West Hollywood. Every Santa Ana wind event drives fine Mojave dust and wildfire ash through attic bypasses and into return-air plenums, leaving measurable deposits inside duct interiors.
The housing stock compounds the issue. A large share of Burbank’s homes went up during the post-WWII boom, and many still run on their original rigid sheet-metal ducts. In neighborhoods like Magnolia Park, the bungalows often had ductwork retrofitted through unconditioned attic spaces that exceed 140°F in summer. That kind of heat breaks down internal fiberglass duct liner over time, sending fine particles into the air your family breathes. Technicians who work Burbank regularly know to check for this.
And then there’s the airport. Hollywood Burbank Airport sits embedded in the residential grid, and blocks directly south of the runways in the Rancho area collect a distinctive dark-gray, greasy coating on supply-plenum walls. It’s jet exhaust infiltration, and local technicians recognize it immediately. Homes just three miles east in Glendale rarely show anything like it.
Our Main Burbank Services
Two services account for the calls we take in Burbank, and each has its own detailed page with pricing and scope.
Air Duct Cleaning in Burbank
Burbank’s aging ductwork holds decades of fine dust, pet dander, and in some neighborhoods, aircraft particulate. Our crew runs professional-grade negative-air equipment from brands like Nikro and Abatement Technologies through the full supply and return system, then brushes every accessible section. We protect floors with shoe covers and drop cloths before any equipment comes inside, and if a toddler is napping, we work around the noise. Expect the job to take most of a day on older homes. See the full scope and Burbank pricing on our Air Duct Cleaning in Burbank page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Burbank
Dryer vents in Burbank’s older homes often run long, winding paths from the laundry closet to the exterior, some through attics that hit 140°F. That heat bakes lint into a hard, stubborn layer inside the vent. We clean the full vent run with rotating brushes and capture the debris before it reaches your laundry room floor. The job typically takes under an hour, and you get a written price before the crew starts. Read the specifics on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Burbank page.

What pushes a Burbank price toward the higher end is duct age and airport proximity. Systems near the Hollywood Burbank Airport flight paths often need extra plenum work to remove the greasy exhaust film, and older homes with fiberglass-lined ducts take longer to detail. Whatever the number, it’s written down before work begins: one flat price per system, no per-vent add-ons, no surprises when the invoice lands.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Burbank
Most Burbank appointments are scheduled within three to five business days. Airport-adjacent neighborhoods like the Rancho area may have a short extra wait during peak season because those jobs often include plenum work. Call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll give you the next real opening, not a vague window.
No. Air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning are interior maintenance jobs that don’t require city permits or HOA approval anywhere in Burbank. If you’re in a hillside community with a shared wall, just give your neighbor a heads-up about the equipment noise. We’ll work around your schedule.
If your home sits south or southwest of the Hollywood Burbank Airport runways, yes. The jet-exhaust film we find on plenum walls in those blocks accumulates faster than typical household dust. Homes in the Rancho area often benefit from a cleaning every 2 to 3 years instead of the usual 3 to 5. Call (323) 918-4345 for an honest assessment based on your specific street.
If your Burbank ductwork has never been opened or you’re noticing dust settling on furniture right after cleaning, call Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning at (323) 918-4345. A real person answers, and your written estimate is free.

What Burbank 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."
