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 Citrus Heights, CA
Air duct cleaning in Citrus Heights runs between $290 and $590 for a typical single-story ranch home, with most jobs completed in half a day. What makes Citrus Heights work different is the housing stock itself: most homes were built between 1955 and 1980, and the attic-mounted ductwork from that era has been collecting dust, debris, and rodent activity for decades. We’re Linden Air Duct Cleaning, and we approach every Citrus Heights job knowing the system is probably older than the people living under it. Call us at (980) 447-2498 and we’ll give you a written price before any work begins.
Why Citrus Heights Homes Are Different
Citrus Heights was one of Sacramento’s first major suburban expansions, built out in the 1960s and 1970s with single-story ranch-style tract homes. That means the ducts in most Citrus Heights houses are now 40 to 60 years old. Original fiberglass duct board and early flex-duct systems from that period are still running, and they’re being cycled through 100°F-plus Sacramento Valley summers for months at a time. When your AC runs nearly nonstop from June through September, it’s pushing enormous air volumes through whatever has settled in those aging ducts.
Add wildfire smoke seasons to the picture. Since 2018, the Sacramento foothills region has seen recurring hazardous-AQI days, and Citrus Heights homeowners seal their homes tight and depend entirely on HVAC systems for indoor air. That’s why we consistently find fine particulate accumulation in Citrus Heights systems at rates you don’t see in newer construction in Folsom or Elk Grove. The homes here simply work harder, in worse air, with older ductwork.
Our Main Citrus Heights Services
Most Citrus Heights homeowners call us for one of three jobs: full air duct cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, or repairing ductwork that has degraded or separated in the attic. Each has its own page with pricing, process details, and Citrus Heights-specific FAQs.
Air Duct Cleaning in Citrus Heights
This is our most involved Citrus Heights job, and for good reason. On 1960s and 1970s ranch homes, we’re not just removing dust. We’re removing years of rodent debris, degraded fiberglass particles, and wildfire soot that have accumulated in the return-air plenums and main trunk lines. Citrus Heights has a documented roof-rat and mouse issue in neighborhoods with mature trees and aging attic penetrations, and old uninsulated ducts are a common place they nest. We use negative-pressure extraction so nothing we dislodge re-enters your living space. Air Duct Cleaning in Citrus Heights has full details and local pricing.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Citrus Heights
Dryer vents in Citrus Heights ranch homes often run longer than they should, snaking from a laundry room through the attic or under the house before reaching the outside wall. Lint accumulates at every bend, and in older homes we regularly find lint traps that have been bypassed or deteriorated entirely. A clogged vent forces your dryer to work against backpressure, which shortens the appliance’s life and raises the fire risk in a home where the vent may not have been cleaned in years. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Citrus Heights covers what we inspect and how we clean.
Air Duct Repair in Citrus Heights
Decades of Sacramento Valley heat take a real toll on ductwork. Fiberglass duct board separates at the seams, flex-duct sags and tears, and attic rodents chew through anything they can reach. When a duct separates, you’re paying to cool your attic instead of your living room. We repair and reseal these systems, and every repair in Citrus Heights carries a written guarantee with a free second visit if the repair doesn’t hold. Air Duct Repair in Citrus Heights walks through the repair process.

What Citrus Heights Customers Say
"Thorough job on all eleven vents and the main trunk. Took longer than the three hours they quoted, but he told me early and kept working. Air feels fresher."
- Meredith L."Tech arrived with a badge and a printed sheet of what he'd be doing. Ran a camera through the main trunk before and after so I could see the dust difference. Vents smell cleaner already."
- Gina R."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.
