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 Wellesley, MA
Air duct cleaning in Wellesley, MA typically costs between $450 and $1,400 for a whole-home system, depending on home size and how the ductwork was originally installed. Most Wellesley jobs run higher than surrounding towns because so many homes here are pre-WWII Colonials and Tudors retrofitted with forced-air systems decades after they were built. If you’re in Wellesley Hills, the Hundreds Road corridor, or near Lake Waban, call Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning at (323) 918-4345 and we’ll give you a written price before any work starts.
Why Wellesley Homes Are Different
Wellesley’s most sought-after neighborhoods are filled with large pre-WWII Colonial and Tudor-style homes originally built with steam or hot-water radiant heat, then retrofitted with forced-air HVAC decades later. That retrofit history produces irregular, undersized ductwork with sharp bends and inadequate returns. These systems accumulate debris faster and are genuinely harder to clean than the purpose-designed modern ductwork you’ll find in newer towns nearby.
The local climate adds another layer. Wellesley has held Tree City USA designation for decades, and that dense tree canopy drives exceptionally high spring pollen loads and organic debris into outdoor air intakes. Combined with humid New England summers and proximity to the Charles River corridor and Lake Waban, we regularly see biofilm and mold accumulation inside older duct interiors at rates standard suburban markets simply don’t see. When we work in Wellesley Hills or along the Hundreds Road corridor, we’re often the first crew to open original 1930s and 1940s galvanized plenum boxes still in service behind fully renovated kitchens.
Our Main Wellesley Services
Wellesley homeowners call us most about two things: cleaning the air ducts that move conditioned air through their homes, and clearing the dryer vents that carry lint out. Both jobs are different in Wellesley than in newer towns, and each has its own page with full pricing and local details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Wellesley
Air duct cleaning in Wellesley often means working around finished basements and attic conversions, where 1970s-to-1990s flex-duct runs were added as afterthoughts to original 1920s and 1930s systems. Those hidden duct chases inside finished walls mean extra scope work on nearly every job we do here. We use Rotobrush and Nikro equipment to reach debris that standard residential vacuums can’t touch, and we protect floors with shoe covers and drop cloths from the moment we walk in. See Air Duct Cleaning in Wellesley for full pricing and what to expect.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Wellesley
Dryer vent cleaning in Wellesley matters because so many laundry rooms sit in finished basements with long, multi-bend vent runs routed through interior walls. Those runs trap lint quickly, and a clogged dryer vent is a real fire risk, not a minor annoyance. We clear the full vent run, not just the first few feet, and our technicians use Guardsman and Nikro tools suited to older vent configurations.

What Wellesley 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."
