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 Covina, CA
Air duct cleaning in Covina means dealing with ductwork that has spent decades pulling in air that backs up against the San Gabriel Mountains. The homes here, many built between the 1950s and 1970s, often still run original fiberglass duct board or bare sheet-metal trunk lines that collect the fine particulate matter this end of the valley is known for. We’re Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning, and we work differently in Covina because the houses here genuinely are different. If you want to know what a clean costs before anyone steps inside, call (323) 918-4345 and we’ll walk you through it.
Why Covina Homes Are Different
Covina sits at the eastern edge of the San Gabriel Valley, where the mountains form a wall that traps ozone and fine particulates drifting in from the greater LA Basin. This corner of the South Coast Air Basin consistently ranks among the worst air-quality zones in the region. What that means for your ductwork is straightforward: the air moving through your system every day carries more ultrafine dust than what coastal or mid-basin homes deal with, and that dust settles inside ducts and returns registers.
The housing stock compounds the issue. Covina’s ranch-style tract homes went up fast when the citrus groves were subdivided, and many were built with crawl-space or attic trunk lines that were never properly sealed at the register boots. That was a common shortcut in that building era, and it means fine caliche dust from local soils can infiltrate the duct system from underneath. When we pull a register in these older homes, we can usually see exactly what’s been getting in. Add in hot, dry summers that run AC systems nearly nonstop from June through September, plus fall Santa Ana winds reversing the airflow pattern and pushing desert dust through any gaps, and you have a system that accumulates debris on a schedule most homeowners never think about until a room won’t heat or cool evenly.
Our Main Covina Services
Covina homeowners call us about two things more than anything else: the ductwork that moves heated and cooled air through the house, and the dryer vent that moves hot, lint-filled air out of it. Each has its own page with full pricing and local details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Covina
Air duct cleaning in Covina starts with the reality of 50-to-70-year-old duct systems that have rarely, if ever, been opened up. Original fiberglass duct board deteriorates over decades, unsealed register boots pull in caliche dust from crawl spaces, and every AC season packs another layer of San Gabriel Valley particulate into the trunk lines. We use professional equipment from brands like Nikro and Honeywell, not entry-level rental gear, and every job includes a written price before work starts. See the full scope and Covina-specific pricing on the Air Duct Cleaning in Covina page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Covina
Dryer vents in Covina’s older ranch homes tend to be long, with multiple bends, and often run through attics or crawl spaces that make lint accumulation harder to spot. A clogged dryer vent means longer dry times, hotter cycles, and a real fire risk, particularly during fall when Santa Ana winds add airborne dust to the lint already collecting in the run. We clean the entire vent run, not just the opening at the dryer. Details and pricing are on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Covina page.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Covina, CA
Every Morton’s job comes with one flat price per system, in writing, before any work begins. That’s not a promotion; it’s how we’ve worked since 2005. Here are the ranges Covina homeowners typically see:
| Service | Typical range in Covina |
|---|---|
| Air duct cleaning, whole home (up to 10 vents) | $450-$650 |
| Air duct cleaning, whole home (11-15 vents) | $650-$900 |
| Air duct cleaning, whole home (16+ vents) | $900-$1,300 |
| Furnace/air handler cleaning (add-on) | $150-$300 |
| Duct board repair (per section, when accessible) | $180-$400 |
| Dryer vent cleaning, single-story | $125-$200 |
| Dryer vent cleaning, two-story or long run | $200-$350 |
| Dryer vent cleaning, multi-family or condo | $150-$250 |
Two things push Covina prices toward the higher end of these ranges. First, older duct board that has dried and begun to crumble often needs patching or replacing sections during the clean. Second, homes with undersized crawl spaces or attic runs that make access difficult add time to the job. Either way, you’ll know the price before we start, and the number on the invoice matches the number on the written quote.

For single-family homes, no. Duct cleaning is interior work that doesn’t require HOA sign-off.

We’ll work with whatever your association requires.

What Covina 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."
