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 Andover, MA
Air duct cleaning in Andover, MA typically costs between $350 and $650 for a whole-home system, depending on home size and number of zones. What makes Andover jobs different from neighboring towns is the housing stock: century-old Shawsheen Village brick homes with retrofitted ductwork running through plaster chases sit alongside 1980s and 1990s executive colonials with long attic duct runs. Add the Merrimack River valley’s trapped late-summer humidity, and you get duct systems that collect moisture-driven debris faster than homes on higher ground. If you’re looking for a duct cleaning company in Andover that shows up verified and puts pricing in writing before any work starts, call us at (980) 447-2498.
Why Andover Homes Are Different
Andover splits into two very different cleaning profiles, often within the same service day. Shawsheen Village, the American Woolen Company’s planned community built from 1918 to 1924, is brick construction with forced-air ductwork that mid-century installers retrofitted through original plaster walls and closet floors. Those runs have tight bends, blind sections, and narrow chases that demand specialty flex-brush tools and genuinely longer job times. A few streets away, the 1980s through 2000s executive colonials off Route 133 and around Haggetts Pond sprawl with multi-zone systems and extensive attic duct runs. In those homes, the work is less about access and more about volume: hundreds of linear feet of duct, much of it routed through unconditioned attic space.
Then there’s the geography. Andover sits in the Merrimack River valley, and valley air holds humidity. Late summer and early fall push condensation levels inside attic duct runs higher than what you’d see in Wilmington or Reading. That recurring moisture cycle accelerates mold spore colonization and compacts dust into a stubborn film. The industry’s general three-to-five-year recommendation doesn’t always fit here. Many Andover homeowners find annual or biennial cleaning more justified given how their ducts actually behave.
Our Main Andover Services
Most Andover homeowners call us for one of two things: full air duct cleaning or dryer vent cleaning. Air duct repair is the third call we get regularly, especially after an inspection turns up separated runs in attic spaces.
Air Duct Cleaning in Andover
Negative-pressure extraction with Rotobrush and Nikro equipment pulls years of accumulated dust, pet dander, and construction debris out of the entire duct system. In Shawsheen Village, our techs work flex-brush tools through original 1920s wall chases and floor cavities where modern rigid tools can’t reach. In larger colonials, the job covers every register, return, and the main trunk line, including long attic runs where valley humidity has done its work. You get a written price before any equipment leaves the van. Full details are on the Air Duct Cleaning in Andover page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Andover
Lint accumulation inside dryer vents is a fire hazard and a drying-time problem, and Andover’s larger laundry rooms in 1990s-era homes often mean longer vent runs to an exterior wall. We clean the full run from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, clearing blockages including bird nesting material found in vents that exit near wooded lots. The tech confirms proper airflow at the termination point before leaving. Read specifics on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Andover page.
Air Duct Repair in Andover
Attic-routed duct runs in Andover colonials are prone to separation at joints, crushed flex sections, and torn insulation wraps from temperature cycling and occasional pest intrusion. We inspect, identify the failed sections, and repair or replace them. Every repair job comes with a written guarantee, good for 365 days, and a free second visit if a covered repair does not hold. That’s a standing commitment, not a promotion. See Air Duct Repair in Andover for what’s covered.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning Company in Andover
Yes. Shawsheen Village is one of our most common job sites in Andover. The retrofitted ductwork in those 1920s brick homes runs through plaster-wall chases and closet floors, so we use flex-brush tools designed for tight bends and blind sections. Expect a longer job time than a standard colonial. Call (980) 447-2498 for a specific quote.
No permit is required for routine air duct cleaning or dryer vent cleaning in Andover. If we find damage during cleaning that requires duct replacement, the repair work is typically handled as a maintenance item rather than new construction, so permits are generally not required. We’ll confirm anything unusual before work proceeds.
Most Andover homeowners book one to two weeks out. Fall is busiest as people prepare for heating season, and late summer fills up quickly in homes where valley humidity has accelerated mold growth inside attic runs. Call (980) 447-2498 and we’ll get you scheduled.

What Andover Customers Say
"Priced by the system, not by the vent, and he told me up front. No pressure to add the sanitizer and I said no without any fuss."
- Faith N."We had construction dust packed into every register after a remodel. They sealed off the returns, used negative pressure, and left the floors cleaner than they found them."
- 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."
- Cheryl A.
