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 Tustin, CA
Air duct cleaning in Tustin costs between $390 and $690 for a typical single-system home, with larger homes in Tustin Ranch running higher. The reason Tustin jobs differ from neighboring Orange County cities comes down to two local realities: decades of construction dust from the Tustin Legacy redevelopment, and housing stock now 30 to 35 years old with original flex ductwork that has degraded. If your ducts have never been cleaned, call (980) 447-2498 and we’ll give you a written price before any work begins.
Why Tustin Homes Are Different
Tustin’s ductwork carries a unique load. The former MCAS Tustin base has been transforming into Tustin Legacy for more than 20 years, and hundreds of acres of grading, demolition, and phased construction sit in the geographic center of the city. Homes in Tustin Ranch and the streets bordering the redevelopment have absorbed fine concrete and drywall dust through their HVAC returns the entire time. We regularly pull light-colored grit from ducts in homes that have never been remodeled, which tells us the contamination came from outside, not from the household.
The housing stock adds a second layer. Tustin Ranch was built primarily between 1987 and 1995, which means most of the city’s flex ductwork is original, builder-grade material now past its intended service life. Flex ducts from that era sag, kink, and accumulate particulate load in ways rigid metal ducts do not. Old Town Tustin adds mid-century homes from the 1930s through 1960s where ductwork was retrofitted into building cavities not designed for HVAC, creating restrictive runs that are harder to clean thoroughly.
And Tustin sits squarely in the Santa Ana wind corridor. Each fall and winter, hot, dry desert air pushes fine particulates through the city, accelerating contamination at a rate coastal cities like Newport Beach or Huntington Beach do not experience.
Our Main Tustin Services
Most Tustin homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own detailed page below, but here is what matters most for Tustin specifically.
Air Duct Cleaning in Tustin
We use Rotobrush negative-pressure extraction to pull accumulated dust, construction grit, and debris out of the entire duct system without releasing it into your living space. In Tustin Ranch homes with original flex duct, we pay close attention to sag points where debris collects. See the full breakdown, including what the job covers, on our Air Duct Cleaning in Tustin page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Tustin
Dryer vents in Tustin clog faster than average because of the same wind-driven particulates that affect ducts. Lint buildup inside a dryer vent restricts airflow and creates a fire hazard. We clean the full vent run from the dryer to the exterior termination point and remove any bypassed lint that collected inside the dryer cabinet. Details are on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Tustin page.
Air Duct Repair in Tustin
Older Tustin Ranch flex ducts frequently separate at joints, tear at connection points, or develop kinks that starve airflow. We repair or replace damaged duct sections, reseal joints, and restore balanced airflow. Every repair carries a written guarantee with a free second visit if the repair does not hold. Learn what is covered on the Air Duct Repair in Tustin page.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Tustin
Most Tustin appointments can be scheduled within one to two business days. We send the technician’s name and photo before the visit, and they show a photo ID badge at the door, so you know exactly who is arriving.
Duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning are interior services, so HOAs do not typically require approval. If your vent termination is on an exterior wall, the work is still considered routine maintenance, not a modification. We are happy to provide any documentation your HOA requests.
Most duct repair and replacement work does not require a city permit because it is part of the existing HVAC system. If the job extends into new construction or structural modification, a permit would be handled by the contractor doing that work, not by us.
It means if the work is not right, we make it right, backed in writing on every job. The promise runs 365 days from completion. Every repair also carries a written guarantee, and if a covered repair does not hold, we return at no charge.
