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 Burlington, MA
Air duct cleaning in Burlington usually costs between $350 and $650 for a standard single-system home, depending on the number of vents, the age of the ductwork, and how much has accumulated inside since the last service. Burlington’s housing stock sits on a very specific timeline: most of the town’s residential neighborhoods went up between 1955 and 1978, during a suburban boom that quadrupled the population, and the sheet-metal ducts in those homes are now 50-plus years old with decades of accumulated dust, insulation fibers, and pet dander cycling through them. Our crews know exactly what those runs look like because we see them every week. If you need an exact quote for your home, call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll walk you through it.
Why Burlington Homes Are Different
Burlington isn’t like the newer subdivisions around it. Most of the housing stock is ranch-style and split-level construction from the 1955-1978 period, and the ductwork style reflects that era. Long horizontal runs stretched through unfinished basements, sheet-metal joints sealed with decades-old tape, and in some homes, fiberglass-lined interior duct surfaces that have been slowly shedding liner material into the airflow. None of this is a defect in your home. It’s just what houses built in that window look like now, and it means the work takes a particular kind of care.
The heating season is another factor. Burlington systems move heated air from roughly October through April, six-plus months of forced-air circulation annually. Whatever is in those ducts, dust, pet hair, construction debris, gets pulled through the system constantly during that stretch. Then summer arrives with humidity, and in unconditioned basements that humidity collects on poorly insulated duct sections. Condensation on aging ductwork is something our technicians encounter regularly in Burlington, and it’s one reason a visual inspection before cleaning matters as much as the cleaning itself.
There’s a third layer to Burlington that most nearby suburbs don’t have. The Route 128/Route 3 interchange anchored a massive wave of corporate office construction in the 1980s and 1990s. Those commercial buildings now have duct systems hitting the 30-40 year mark simultaneously, which means we’re seeing concentrated commercial maintenance demand here at a scale no similar-size town generates. Residential work is our focus, but the commercial saturation around the 128/3 corridor is part of why our Burlington crews are as experienced as they are.
Our Main Burlington Services
Burlington homeowners call us most often for two specific jobs: full air duct cleaning for whole-house systems, and dryer vent cleaning for the exhaust runs that connect laundry rooms to the outside. Each has its own page with Burlington-specific details, pricing, and what to expect on the day we arrive.
Air Duct Cleaning in Burlington
This is a whole-system cleaning of your home’s supply and return ductwork, from the main trunk lines in the basement to the registers in each room. In Burlington’s ranch and split-level homes, that means working through long basement runs where decades of dust, insulation fibers, and sometimes rodent debris have settled out of the airflow. We connect professional-grade Rotobrush and Nikro equipment directly to the system and pull the accumulation out rather than pushing it around. The job typically takes three to five hours, depending on the home’s layout and how many vents there are. Shoe covers go on before we enter, drop cloths protect the floors around each register, and you’ll get a written price before we start. Full details are on the Air Duct Cleaning in Burlington page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Burlington
Dryer vents in Burlington ranches and splits are usually a straight run from the laundry area to an exterior wall, but lint still accumulates at the turns, the dryer connection, and the exterior damper. A clogged vent makes the dryer work harder, leaves more lint in the wall, and slows the drying cycle. We clean the full run from the dryer connection to the termination point outside, clear the exterior vent cap, and leave you with a photo of the completed work. It’s typically finished in under an hour. Details and Burlington pricing are on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Burlington page.

Brands We Service in Burlington
Most Burlington homes we visit have systems built around common fabricator brands and the conventional round-pipe and trunk-line designs that went into 1955-1978 construction. We stock adapters, register boxes, and filter components for the equipment we encounter most often, including Rotobrush and Nikro attachment systems and Aprilaire filter housings. Turnaround on parts is typically same-day because our Burlington crews carry what the local housing stock needs. See our brands for the full list of equipment and components we work with.

Whatever the number is for your house, you’ll see it in writing before we open a single register, and that number is the number on the invoice.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Burlington
Most Burlington jobs are scheduled within one to two business days. Our Burlington crews handle residential work throughout the town and commercial jobs along the 128/3 corridor, so weekday scheduling is usually faster than weekend. Call (323) 918-4345 and a live person can confirm the next open slot for your neighborhood.
No. Air duct cleaning is a maintenance service, and Burlington does not require a permit for interior duct or dryer vent work. If you live in a development with an HOA, the work is inside your residence and typically outside the association’s scope. We still respect any posted rules about service vehicle parking, and we’ll ask if your street has known restrictions when you book.
That’s more common than not, especially in homes built before 1980. If you can’t find a record, we’ll do a visual inspection of the registers and main trunk lines first, show you what we find, and give you the written price before anything is cleaned. There’s no obligation to proceed, and the assessment takes about twenty minutes. Call (323) 918-4345 to schedule an inspection. When you live in a home with 50-year-old ductwork, knowing what’s actually in there is better than guessing.

What Burlington Customers Say
"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."
- Omar Zaid"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."
