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 Westlake Village, CA
As an air duct cleaning company in Westlake Village, CA, we work on homes that share a very specific history: they were built between 1968 and the late 1980s on a master-planned grid, and many of them sat directly in the path of Woolsey Fire smoke in 2018. That combination means the ductwork we open up here is usually 35 to 55 years old, runs unusually long through larger floor plans, and often carries a fine gray ash residue that standard filter changes never touch. Here’s what that means for your home, what it costs, and how we work.
Call (323) 918-4345 for a written, upfront estimate.
Why Westlake Village Homes Are Different
Westlake Village sits squarely inside the Woolsey Fire’s smoke and ember-wash corridor. Homes that looked untouched from the street may still have wildfire ash and char particulates buried in their duct lining, because the HVAC system kept running during and after the evacuation. The return pulled smoke directly through the system, and that contamination has been recirculating ever since. It is not a filter problem. It is a duct-lining problem.
The Conejo Valley’s Sundowner winds make it worse. These warm downslope gusts off the Santa Monica Mountains create pressure differentials that push outdoor debris and fine smoke into HVAC returns. Add the marine layer that settles into the valley most mornings, and you get humidity inside aging flex-duct linings, which is exactly where mold likes to take hold. In the flatter San Fernando Valley to the east, homes simply don’t cycle contaminants through their ducts the way ours do during a Sundowner event.
The housing stock matters, too. Westlake Village was built as a master-planned community with larger square footage, which means longer duct runs per home, more linear feet of flex duct, and more surface area where ash, dust, and pet dander settle. When we walk a North Ranch property, we expect to see ductwork that is at least three decades old and often separating at the joints. None of this is rare here. It’s typical.
Our Main Westlake Village Services
Most Westlake Village homeowners call us for one of two services: air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own page with full pricing and local detail, but here’s a quick rundown of what each job involves in this city.
Air Duct Cleaning in Westlake Village
Air duct cleaning here means removing not just household dust, but wildfire ash, char residue, and debris from Sundowner wind cycles that have worked their way deep into the duct board and flex-duct linings. We use professional Rotobrush and Nikro equipment to agitate and extract from every trunk line and branch, not a shop vacuum. The job often runs longer in Westlake Village because the duct runs are more extensive than in a smaller, older valley home. You’ll find full pricing, the process, and what to expect on the dedicated page for Air Duct Cleaning in Westlake Village.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Westlake Village
Dryer vents in Westlake Village run through larger, laid-out utility rooms and often up through two-story chase walls, which means lint builds up in longer runs and at more bends. Lint is fuel, and a clogged vent turns a dryer into a fire risk. We clear the full run from the dryer to the exterior cap using Guardsman tools, and we show you the before and after. Full pricing and the step-by-step are on the page for Dryer Vent Cleaning in Westlake Village.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Westlake Village, CA
Pricing in Westlake Village reflects the size of these homes and the condition of the ductwork. Below are the typical ranges we quote for this area.
| Service | Typical range in Westlake Village |
|---|---|
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (1 furnace/AC system, up to ~2,500 sq ft) | $450 – $750 |
| Air duct cleaning for a second furnace/AC system | $250 – $400 added to the first system |

| Dryer vent cleaning (long, multi-story, or roof-terminating vent) | $150 – $275 |

What pushes a Westlake Village job toward the higher end is the age of the flex duct and the length of the runs; a North Ranch home with original first-generation flex and a 60-foot trunk will take longer than a compact single-story near the lake. Whatever the number, it’s a written figure agreed before any tool comes off the truck, and that’s the price you pay. No per-vent upselling, no surprise line items.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Westlake Village
For most single-family homes, no. Interior duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning don’t require HOA sign-off. The exception is condominium or attached housing where the vent chase is shared or exterior vent caps fall under community maintenance. If you’re in an HOA community, a quick call to your management office settles it, and we’ll work with whatever they require.
Yes, we do every day. Our technicians wear shoe covers and lay drop cloths before any equipment comes through the door. We use quieter tools around nap time and we choose pet-safe products where they’re available. You’ll know exactly what we’re doing before we do it, and we’ll work around your household’s rhythm, not interrupt it.
Most homes in Westlake Village take one full working day, usually 3 to 6 hours depending on the number of systems and the length of the duct runs. A second HVAC system or particularly long runs in a hillside home can push it to the better part of the day. We’ll give you a time estimate when you call, and the written price covers the whole job, however long it takes.

What Westlake Village Customers Say
"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."
- Omar Zaid"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."
