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 Coalinga, CA
Air duct cleaning in Coalinga runs into conditions most valley towns never face: petroleum-laced dust from the oil fields along Highway 33, and homes rebuilt in a rush after the 1983 earthquake that are now carrying 40-year-old ductwork. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning handles both realities with written pricing before work starts, background-checked technicians, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise on every job. If you’re wondering what a full-system clean costs here, expect honest whole-system ranges, not per-vent teaser numbers. Call (323) 918-4345 and a live person answers, any hour.
Why Coalinga Homes Are Different
Coalinga sits directly amid active San Joaquin Valley oil fields. Extraction operations line the Highway 33 corridor, and what drifts into residential ductwork isn’t just the usual valley agricultural dust. Technicians working homes on the west side of town, nearest the fields, routinely find a greasy, dark film coating the interior of flex ducts. It doesn’t vacuum out cleanly. It requires solvent-based treatment, something virtually unknown in neighboring agricultural communities like Huron or Mendota.
The housing stock adds another layer. Downtown Coalinga and the surrounding neighborhoods were largely destroyed or condemned after the 6.5-magnitude 1983 earthquake. What replaced them is a wide band of mid-1980s single-story ranch and tract homes, remarkably uniform in age. That means ductwork across much of the city hit the same end-of-life threshold at roughly the same time. A home built in 1985 with original ducts is now running 40-year-old flex and sheet metal, and most of it has never been fully cleaned.
Summer heat compounds everything. Coalinga regularly tops 105°F, and the San Joaquin Valley air basin carries some of the worst PM2.5 readings in the nation. HVAC systems run near-constant for four or five months. Dust loads fast. Oil-field fugitive dust finds its way in. Ducts that might coast through a year in a cooler climate load up here in a single season.
Our Main Coalinga Services
Coalinga homeowners call Morton’s for two jobs more than any others: full air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own Coalinga page with local pricing and detail, linked below.
Air Duct Cleaning in Coalinga
Full-system air duct cleaning here means dealing with what the oil fields deposit. Our crews run Rotobrush and Nikro agitation equipment through supply and return lines, breaking loose the film and particulate that builds up in 40-year-old ductwork common to Coalinga’s post-1983 rebuild. We protect floors with shoe covers and drop cloths from the moment we walk in, and we work quietly if there’s a toddler napping down the hall. Full local pricing and what to expect: Air Duct Cleaning in Coalinga.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Coalinga
Dryer vents in Coalinga clog faster than in many neighboring towns. The same fine particulate that loads ductwork also settles into dryer exhaust lines, and a vent that’s half-blocked makes the dryer run longer, which matters when summer outdoor temperatures already have appliances working hard. We clean the full run from dryer to exterior vent cap, removing lint and the oily dust that bakes onto vent walls. Detailed pricing and local notes: Dryer Vent Cleaning in Coalinga.

What pushes the price up in Coalinga specifically is the oily film: a home on the west side near the fields often needs the solvent-based treatment before vacuuming can do its job, and that adds time and material. What doesn’t change is our pricing model. Morton’s gives you one written flat price per system before any work begins. No per-vent pricing, no surprise line items on the invoice, and a photo of the clean-up before we leave.
