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 Wrightwood, CA
Air duct cleaning in Wrightwood is different from anywhere else in Southern California, and it comes down to elevation. At roughly 5,900 feet in the San Gabriel Mountains, Wrightwood homes run their forced-air heating hard through long winters, sit vacant for weeks between visits, and share the forest with mice and pack rats that find their way into ductwork. We work on A-frames and rustic cabins built decades ago, with older flex duct and bare sheet-metal runs that were never sealed tightly in the first place. If you’re looking for a duct cleaning company that understands Wrightwood specifically, call (323) 918-4345 for a free estimate.
Why Wrightwood Homes Are Different
Most Wrightwood housing stock dates from the 1940s through the 1970s, built as seasonal ski and recreation cabins rather than year-round residences. The typical system uses older flex duct or bare sheet-metal runs with loose joints and minimal insulation. That matters because gaps and unsealed seams are exactly where forest rodents get in. Mice and pack rats common to the pine-forest zone enter through disconnected boots and gaps at the plenum, then nest in the main trunk lines during the quiet months when nobody is home.
Winters here bring heavy snow and sustained cold, so heating systems run long, hard seasons. That accelerates dust, dander, and debris buildup in ways you don’t see at lower elevations in the San Gabriel Valley. Then in summer and fall, wildfire smoke from the surrounding Angeles National Forest gets drawn into return-air intakes for days at a time, depositing fine ash and combustion particles throughout the duct system. A cabin that sits empty from November to ski season often needs a pre-season duct inspection more than it needs a routine cleaning, because pack rat activity in the plenum is a seasonally predictable problem for Wrightwood locals.
Our Main Wrightwood Services
Wrightwood homeowners call us most often for two things: clearing contaminated ductwork in cabins that sat vacant, and making sure dryer vents aren’t packed with lint or nesting material after long stretches of disuse.
Air Duct Cleaning in Wrightwood
We clean the full duct system in Wrightwood cabins and homes: supply and return runs, the plenum, and the main trunk lines. The work here regularly involves removing rodent nesting material, droppings, and dander, not just household dust. Our technicians use professional equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro, and they wear shoe covers and lay drop cloths before anything starts. We’ll give you a written price before any work begins, and we take a photo of the clean-up before the crew leaves. Air Duct Cleaning in Wrightwood has the full breakdown of what’s included and what it costs.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Wrightwood
Dryer vents in Wrightwood cabins get blocked by more than lint. Rodents sometimes use disconnected or poorly terminated vents as entry points, and a vent that runs through a crawlspace in a seasonal cabin can accumulate nests and debris during months of vacancy. We clean the full vent run from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, and we’ll tell you if the vent is the wrong material or improperly routed. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Wrightwood covers the process, pricing, and why cabin vents need attention before ski season.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Wrightwood, CA
| Service | Typical range in Wrightwood |
|---|---|
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (single system) | $350 - $650 |
| Whole-home air duct cleaning (larger or multi-zone cabin) | $600 - $1,000 |
| Dryer vent cleaning | $99 - $199 |
| Rodent contamination remediation (droppings, nesting material) | $450 - $900 |

| HVAC filter replacement (standard 1-inch) | $20 - $45 per filter |
| HVAC filter replacement (media cabinet, 4-5 inch) | $60 - $120 per filter |
What pushes a Wrightwood job to the higher end of these ranges is contamination. A cabin that sat empty through fall and acquired a pack rat nest in the plenum or trunk line costs more to clean than a year-round home with routine dust, because removal of nesting material and sanitizing takes more time and care. Whatever the final figure, it’s a written price agreed before our crew starts, and there are no surprises on the invoice.

What Wrightwood 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."
