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 Burlington, MA
Air duct cleaning in Burlington costs between $390 and $710 for a typical single-family home, depending on system size and the age of the ductwork. Burlington sits along the Route 128 / I-95 corridor, which means our technicians work on both 1960s ranches with original galvanized ducts and large commercial office systems retrofitted over decades. If you’re calling about your Burlington home, we’ll give you a written price before any work begins. Call (980) 447-2498 to talk through your system.
Why Burlington Homes Are Different
Most Burlington neighborhoods were built during the tech-corridor boom of the 1960s and 1970s. Those ranches and split-levels along streets near the Burlington Mall and the Winnmere area often still run on their original sheet-metal ductwork. Metal duct systems from that era are now 50-plus years old, and we regularly find joint separations, accumulated construction debris, and deteriorating duct board that newer cosmetic renovations never touched.
Burlington’s climate adds another layer. Forced-air systems here run hard from October through April, loading ducts with particulate every heating season. Then summer arrives with humidity that often exceeds 60%, and flex duct runs in unconditioned attics or crawl spaces become prime spots for condensation and microbial growth. Homes built in the 1990s and 2000s subdivisions, where flexible duct was standard, are particularly vulnerable when insulation or vapor barriers were installed incorrectly.
The commercial side is just as distinctive. Office parks and corporate campuses along Route 128 were frequently retrofitted with drop-ceiling plenum returns and patchwork supplemental HVAC units. The result is long, irregular duct runs that require commercial-grade vacuum equipment and add real time to a job. That’s work our Burlington technicians handle far more often than crews in purely residential suburbs a few exits away.
Our Main Burlington Services
Burlington homeowners call us most often about three things: cleaning the air ducts, clearing the dryer vent, and repairing duct systems that are showing their age. Each service has its own dedicated Burlington page with full pricing and detail.
Air Duct Cleaning in Burlington
Whole-system air duct cleaning in Burlington means running negative-pressure extraction equipment through your supply and return lines, removing the particulate that’s built up over decades of New England heating seasons. In many Burlington ranches, we’re also clearing out debris that’s been sitting in the ducts since the house was built. On commercial systems along Route 128, we bring commercial-grade Rotobrush vacuum equipment sized for long, irregular runs. Air Duct Cleaning in Burlington covers full pricing, what to expect during the visit, and how we verify the work before we leave.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Burlington
Dryer vent cleaning in Burlington is a different animal from duct cleaning. The vent line runs from your dryer to the exterior, and in Burlington’s 1960s and 1970s homes, those runs often travel through basements or interior walls with multiple bends. Lint accumulates at each turn, and when the exterior termination point is blocked by snow, ice, or a clogged louver, the dryer works harder and the fire risk climbs. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Burlington explains the full process, including the lint trap bypass technique we use when needed.
Air Duct Repair in Burlington
Repair work in Burlington tends to fall into a few predictable patterns: separated joints in original galvanized ductwork, torn or sagging flex duct in 1990s-era additions, and crushed returns where renovations shoved duct lines out of alignment. Every repair we complete in Burlington carries a written guarantee, and if a covered repair fails, we return at no charge. Air Duct Repair in Burlington walks through common failure points in Burlington homes and what repair involves on site.

Two things push Burlington pricing up compared to nearby towns: the age of the ductwork and the commercial systems along Route 128. Homes with original 1960s galvanized ducts often need extra time for joint inspections and debris removal, and commercial jobs with long plenum runs require larger equipment and more labor. Whatever the job, your written price is set before we start, and it does not change at the end.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Burlington
Most Burlington appointments are scheduled within one to three business days. We coordinate a specific arrival window with you before the visit, and you’ll receive the technician’s name and photo ahead of time so you know exactly who is coming to your door.
Duct cleaning does not require a permit in Burlington. Duct repair that involves only the duct system itself typically does not either, but if the work touches the HVAC unit or gas connections, a licensed HVAC contractor may be required. We’ll tell you if your job falls into that category before any work begins.
That’s a common question in Burlington, where 50-year-old duct systems often need both. During the visit, we inspect the full run and tell you what we found. You get a written price before any repairs are started, so there’s no surprise invoice after the fact. Call (980) 447-2498 and describe what you’re seeing; we’ll help you figure out the right next step.

- Paul E."I liked that I knew who was coming in. Name and photo texted ahead, badge at the door. He was quiet, careful with the furniture, and thorough."
