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 Newark, CA
Air duct cleaning in Newark costs between $349 and $589 for a typical single-system home, with larger or retrofitted systems running higher. Newark’s dense pre-war housing and heavy industrial air make duct interiors load with particulate far faster than in surrounding suburbs. Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning gives every Newark homeowner a written price before work begins, so you know the full cost before anyone touches a vent. Call (323) 918-4345 to schedule a walkthrough and quote for your Newark home.
Why Newark Homes Are Different
Newark’s housing stock is dominated by pre-1940 brick row houses and multi-family tenements originally built for steam or hot-water radiator heat. When forced-air HVAC was retrofitted into these buildings, usually during the 1970s and 1980s, ducts were routed through tight bends and awkward trunk lines that standard cleaning equipment simply cannot reach without modification. Our crews work around this every week. We use Rotobrush and Nikro equipment sized for older, narrower Newark duct runs, and we inspect each system before quoting so access issues are priced in writing, not discovered after work starts.
Newark’s climate adds another layer. Humid summers and cold winters mean year-round HVAC cycling, and the city’s urban heat-island effect pushes AC runtime higher than in Fremont or Palo Alto. More runtime means more air pulled through filters, and in Newark that air carries diesel soot from the NJ Turnpike, jet exhaust from Newark Liberty, and fine particulate from the port. In the Ironbound especially, we regularly see duct interiors coated with a fine, oily residue that is not ordinary household dust. It is a signature of the neighborhood’s industrial surroundings, and it requires a different cleaning approach than a suburban tract home would.
Our Main Newark Services
Newark homeowners call us most often about two jobs: full air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own dedicated Newark page with pricing, process details, and local specifics.
Air Duct Cleaning in Newark
Full air duct cleaning in Newark means removing the accumulated particulate from supply and return duct interiors, registers, and the blower compartment. In older Newark homes, we often find decades of layered debris, including construction dust from past renovations and fine diesel particulate from the port and Turnpike corridors. Our crews use Rotobrush and Nikro equipment built for high-particulate environments, and every job includes a written price, shoe covers and drop cloths inside the home, and a photo of the clean-up before we leave. Air Duct Cleaning in Newark covers pricing and what to expect step by step.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Newark
Newark’s pre-war buildings often have long, multi-story dryer vent runs with tight elbows that trap lint far faster than the short, straight vents common in newer construction. A clogged vent forces the dryer to work harder, increases drying time, and creates a fire risk. We clean the full vent run from dryer to exterior termination, check for disconnected or crushed sections, and document everything with photos. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Newark has the full Newark-specific pricing and process details.

Two things push Newark pricing toward the upper end of these ranges. First, older pre-war homes often have non-standard duct routing that takes longer to access safely. Second, heavy particulate loads in industrial-adjacent neighborhoods like the Ironbound or the East Ward mean more passes per vent to get them genuinely clean. Whatever the job, every Newark visit comes with a written price before work starts. No per-vent add-ons, no surprise invoice at the end.

What Newark Customers Say
"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."
- 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."
