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 Temple City, CA
Air duct cleaning in Temple City, CA isn’t the same job it is 15 miles west in Los Angeles. Homes here sit directly below the Angeles National Forest foothills, where the San Gabriel Mountains trap smog, wildfire smoke, and fine particulate in the valley basin. Add to that the fact that most Temple City homes were built between 1950 and 1970, and you have original duct systems that have been pulling elevated PM2.5 air through their runs for decades. We account for both when we plan a Temple City job, and we write the full price before any work starts. Call (323) 918-4345 for a free estimate.
Why Temple City Homes Are Different
Temple City developed as a post-WWII bedroom suburb, and the housing stock shows it. Most single-family homes are modest ranch or California bungalow styles from the 1950s and 1960s, and many still have the original sheet-metal or early fiberglass-lined ducts installed at construction. Those systems were sized for a different era, often undersized by modern standards, and after 60-plus years they carry layers of settled dust that newer coastal homes simply don’t. Since the 1990s, significant renovation work throughout Temple City has stirred that settled dust into circulation, which means an older duct system can go from tolerable to problematic after a single remodel.
The geography makes it worse. Temple City sits in the San Gabriel Valley’s inland basin, where thermal inversions trap particulate matter at ground level. The city regularly records some of the highest PM2.5 days in the entire LA region, and HVAC systems here pull substantially more airborne debris than they would in Pasadena or along the coast. Fall Santa Ana wind events push desert dust and chaparral debris eastward through the valley floor, adding another layer. After major fire events like the 2009 Station Fire, we see a distinct surge in ash-laden duct contamination in Temple City homes. A single bad smoke event can compress years of normal particulate buildup into one season.
Our Main Temple City Services
Two jobs keep Temple City homeowners calling us most often, and each has its own detailed page with local pricing and specifics.
Air Duct Cleaning in Temple City
Full-system air duct cleaning for Temple City ranch homes and bungalows means reaching duct runs that have collected decades of valley particulate. We use professional equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro to agitate and extract what’s settled inside the supply and return lines, and we protect floors, furniture, and pet areas with shoe covers and drop cloths before anything starts. Older Temple City homes frequently have register boots and return boxes that haven’t been opened since installation, which is exactly where the buildup concentrates. See full details on our Air Duct Cleaning in Temple City page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Temple City
Dryer vents in Temple City fill with a specific mix of lint and valley dust, and the older laundry rooms in 1950s and 1960s ranch homes often have longer vent runs than modern floor plans allow. Longer runs mean more surface area for lint to accumulate, and that accumulation is exactly what causes slow dry times and overheated dryers. We clear the full run from the dryer to the exterior vent cap, and we show you what came out before we leave. Read the full breakdown on our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Temple City page.
