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 Peabody, MA
Air duct cleaning in Peabody runs roughly $320 – $540 for a whole house, depending on home size, system age, and what’s built up inside. Peabody jobs are different from the neighboring suburbs because so much of the housing stock predates forced-air heat entirely, and the ductwork that exists was often retrofitted into homes built for steam radiators. That means patchwork runs, undersized returns, and decades of debris in systems never designed for the way they’re used now. If you’re looking for a company that puts the price in writing before any work begins, call Linden Air Duct Cleaning at (980) 447-2498.
Why Peabody Homes Are Different
Peabody was the leather-tanning capital of the world for more than a century, and the dense worker housing around the old tannery districts along the North River is a big part of what shapes the work here. Those pre-WWII colonials, triple-deckers, and two-families near Peabody Square were built with coal furnaces and steam-radiator heat. There was no ductwork. A forced-air furnace was crammed in later, usually with flex duct routed through damp basements or uninsulated crawlspaces, and the joints were never sealed the way a factory installation would be. We see fiberglass-lined ducts from the 1970s in the ranch and split-level belt to the west and north, shedding insulation into the airstream. And Peabody’s spot on coastal Essex County, about 15 miles north of Boston, adds sustained summer humidity and winter nor’easter moisture. That condensation sits inside older, poorly insulated duct runs and feeds mold growth in ways you simply don’t get with newer suburban construction. None of this is theoretical to us. It’s what we pull out of Peabody ducts every week.
Our Main Peabody Services
Most Peabody homeowners call us for one of three jobs. Each has its own detailed page with local pricing and specifics, linked below.
Air Duct Cleaning in Peabody
Whole-system cleaning with negative-pressure extraction, agitating every supply and return run to break debris loose, then capturing it at the source. In Peabody’s retrofitted systems, that often means working around tight bends and joints that were never factory-standard. We seal access points afterward and leave you with before-and-after photos of your own ducts. Full detail is on the Air Duct Cleaning in Peabody page, including cost ranges for both ranch-size and triple-decker homes.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Peabody
Lint accumulation in dryer vents is a fire hazard, and Peabody’s older homes often have longer-than-typical vent runs through basements and crawlspaces. That’s more surface area for lint to catch, and more resistance against your dryer’s airflow. We remove blockages along the full run from the dryer’s lint trap bypass to the exterior vent cap and confirm proper airflow before we leave. Pricing and specifics are on the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Peabody page.
Air Duct Repair in Peabody
Disconnected sections, crushed flex duct in crawlspaces, gaps at the plenum, and tears in the insulation sleeve are the failures we see most in Peabody’s patchwork systems. We inspect the full accessible run, give you a written price for each repair up front, and every repair carries a written guarantee with a free second visit if it doesn’t hold. Details are on the Air Duct Repair in Peabody page.

Whatever the number, it’s written down and agreed to before any work starts. No surprises at the end.

What Peabody 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.
