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 Los Angeles, CA
Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning handles Los Angeles homes with the calm, specific approach families need when a crew is working around kids, pets, and nap schedules. LA’s ductwork faces a unique combination of wildfire smoke, temperature inversions, and aging retrofitted HVAC systems that most cities never see. We arrive with a written price before any work starts, use Rotobrush and Nikro equipment, and protect floors with shoe covers and drop cloths on every visit. Call us at (323) 918-4345 to talk through what your home needs.
Why Los Angeles Homes Are Different
Los Angeles sits inside the South Coast Air Basin, a geographic bowl sealed by the San Gabriel and Santa Monica mountains. That bowl traps vehicle exhaust particulates and ozone year-round, giving LA some of the worst PM2.5 readings in the nation. From June through September, seasonal temperature inversions cap the basin and concentrate particulate matter so outdoor air drawn into return vents carries a consistently heavy load. Add the dry Mediterranean season from May through October, when no rain settles or flushes outdoor dust, and you get duct interiors that accumulate far more debris than homes in wetter or windier regions.
Then there’s the housing stock. The San Fernando Valley, Inglewood, and Crenshaw corridors are dominated by 1950s to 1970s post-war tract homes where central HVAC was retrofitted years after construction. That means aging flex duct or deteriorating fiberglass duct board crammed into low-clearance attic spaces never designed for those runs. Older Craftsman and Spanish Revival homes in Pasadena, Los Feliz, and Silver Lake have similarly improvised duct systems added decades after original construction, making access and seal integrity persistent challenges. Every Los Angeles job requires problem-solving that a newer suburban tract home simply doesn’t.
Our Main Los Angeles Services
These are the two services Los Angeles homeowners call Morton’s about most often, and each has its own detailed page so you can plan before you call.
Air Duct Cleaning in Los Angeles
Los Angeles ductwork carries a contamination profile unlike almost anywhere else in the country. After the January 2025 Palisades and Eaton fires, technicians working in Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, and Altadena-adjacent communities encountered duct debris testing positive for ash containing heavy metals and combustion VOCs from burned structures. Even in non-fire years, inversions and the dry season pack return vents with fine particulate that settles through the whole system. Our crew uses Rotobrush and Nikro equipment to agitate and extract that buildup, working carefully around finished attics and tight clearance spaces common in older LA homes. Air Duct Cleaning in Los Angeles covers pricing, process, and what to expect in your neighborhood.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Los Angeles
LA’s older homes often route dryer vents through long, low-clearance attic runs or down tight side-yard chases, and lint builds up faster in those constrained spaces than in short, straight exterior-wall vents. That restricted airflow forces the dryer to run longer per cycle and leaves more lint sitting in the pipe. We clean the full vent run from dryer connection to exterior termination, and we photograph the clean-up before we leave so you can see the result. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Los Angeles explains the process and what affects the price in your specific setup.

Whatever the number, you get a written price before any work starts, every time, with no surprises on the invoice.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Los Angeles
Most Los Angeles appointments can be booked within a few business days of your call. We’ll give you a specific arrival window before the crew comes, and a live person answers the phone 24/7 if you need to adjust the time.
Almost always no. Duct and dryer vent cleaning is interior work that doesn’t alter the exterior of the home, so HOAs rarely require notice. If your vent termination is in a shared wall or common area, we can tell you what to check with your building manager.
Clear a small path to the furnace or air handler and move fragile items away from vent openings. We handle the rest. Shoe covers and drop cloths go down before any equipment comes inside, and we work quietly around sleeping kids and nervous pets.
