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 Gilroy, CA
Air duct cleaning in Gilroy, CA typically runs between $450 and $900 for a whole-home system, with most jobs completed in a half day. That’s the honest range before a technician ever sets foot in your house. Gilroy’s position on the valley floor between two mountain ranges, combined with late-summer agricultural dust and 20-to-30-year-old tract-home ductwork, means local systems collect more debris than homes just 30 miles north. Call (980) 447-2498 for a written quote before any work begins.
Why Gilroy Homes Are Different
Gilroy sits in a natural bowl between the Diablo Range and the Santa Cruz Mountains. Seasonal winds funnel agricultural dust, wildfire smoke from corridors like Uvas Canyon and Pacheco Pass, and fine garlic chaff from operations around Christopher Ranch straight into the basin. When summer temperatures push past 100°F, HVAC systems run hard and pull that particulate-laden air through filters and into duct runs. The result: supply plenums coated in a fine, faintly garlic-tinged dust that homeowners often mistake for a kitchen odor problem. It’s actually embedded in the duct lining itself, and it doesn’t resolve until the ducts are physically cleaned.
The housing stock compounds the issue. Gilroy’s rapid tract-home expansion through the 1990s and 2000s means thousands of homes now have original flex ductwork that’s 20 to 30 years old. We regularly find sagging flex in attic runs, disconnections at register boots, and dust loads that haven’t been touched since the home was built. Older downtown-area homes from the 1950s through 1970s present a different set of concerns, including rigid duct runs that may have asbestos-containing insulation requiring careful handling. A Gilroy duct job is rarely a quick rinse. It’s a real cleaning on a system that has earned it.
Our Main Gilroy Services
These are the three services Gilroy homeowners call about most. Each has its own page with full pricing, local conditions, and what to expect on the job.
Air Duct Cleaning in Gilroy
Whole-home duct cleaning uses negative-pressure extraction to pull built-up dust, garlic chaff, and wildfire smoke residue out of the supply and return runs. In Gilroy, we focus heavily on the attic flex runs where dust settles and sags develop, and on the supply plenum where agricultural particles embed in the duct lining. Full details, including our 365-Day Done Right Promise, are on the Air Duct Cleaning in Gilroy page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Gilroy
Gilroy’s agricultural dust and hard-working HVAC systems also mean dryer vents fill faster than homeowners expect. Lint plus airborne particulate from harvest season can restrict airflow within a single year. We disassemble the run, clean the full length to the exterior termination, and flag any improper venting or flex-ribbon transitions that should be replaced. Read more on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Gilroy page.
Air Duct Repair in Gilroy
Sagging flex, disconnected boots, and crushed returns are common in Gilroy’s 1990s-era tract homes. Repairs include re-securing runs, sealing leaks with mastic, and replacing damaged sections. Every repair is covered by a written guarantee with a free second visit if the work doesn’t hold. See the full scope on the Air Duct Repair in Gilroy page.

What Gilroy 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.
