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 Simi Valley, CA
Air duct cleaning in Simi Valley is different from most of Southern California because of two things: the age of the housing stock and the way the valley traps wildfire smoke. Most homes here were built between the late 1960s and mid-1980s, which means their ductwork is now 40 to 60 years old. When the Easy Fire burned through in October 2019, thousands of Simi Valley HVAC systems pulled ash and char directly into their duct runs. We’re Linden Air Duct Cleaning, and we work on those systems every week. Call (980) 447-2498 for a written quote before any work begins.
Why Simi Valley Homes Are Different
Simi Valley sits in a bowl. The Santa Susana Mountains wrap around the city on three sides, and when Santa Ana winds push wildfire smoke into that bowl, it doesn’t clear out the way it does in coastal Ventura or even parts of the San Fernando Valley. It lingers. Homes whose air conditioners ran during the Easy Fire in 2019 pulled fine ash, char particulates, and combustion byproducts straight into return ducts and supply runs. Even after the smoke cleared and the skylines went back to normal, what got trapped inside the ductwork stayed there. We still find Easy Fire residue in systems during cleanings, particularly in homes that never had their ducts serviced afterward.
The housing stock adds a second layer. Simi Valley was mass-developed as a planned suburban tract community, and a large share of homes still have original fiberglass duct board or early-generation flex duct. Summer attic temperatures here routinely exceed 140°F. That heat bakes the liners. In the Woodranch and Berylwood tracts especially, we regularly find interior duct board so heat-degraded it’s visibly friable to the touch. It sheds. That material ends up in the airstream. A technician working a newer-stock city like Moorpark rarely sees this condition. In Simi Valley, it’s common enough that we plan for it on almost every older home.
Our Main Simi Valley Services
The two jobs Simi Valley homeowners call us about most are full-system air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning, with duct repair close behind. Each service has its own dedicated Simi Valley page, linked below.
Air Duct Cleaning in Simi Valley
Full-system air duct cleaning here means removing the accumulated wildfire ash, dust, pet dander, and shed fiberglass that has built up inside 40-to-60-year-old duct runs. We use negative-pressure extraction from Rotobrush equipment, which means the system pulls debris out under vacuum rather than blowing it around the house. In older Simi Valley homes with fragile duct board, the cleaning has to be done carefully enough to remove the contamination without further damaging a heat-degraded liner. That’s a real skill call, and it’s one our techs make constantly in the 1970s and 1980s tracts. See the full breakdown at Air Duct Cleaning in Simi Valley.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Simi Valley
Dryer vents in Simi Valley clog faster than homeowners expect because the same Santa Ana winds that push wildfire smoke through the valley also coat vent interiors with fine dust and lint. Add in the original late-60s and 1970s vent runs that many older homes still have – long, narrow, and often with a dryer vent lint trap bypass that never gets checked – and you have a genuine fire risk that builds up quietly. We clean the full run from the dryer to the exterior termination point, not just the first few feet. Get the specifics at Dryer Vent Cleaning in Simi Valley.
Air Duct Repair in Simi Valley
When heat-degraded fiberglass duct board finally gives way, or an aging flex duct run splits at a seam, the repair has to work with what’s already there. In Simi Valley, that often means patching or replacing sections of original duct board in tight attic spaces where the decking has been baking for four decades. We write a price for the repair before any work starts, and every repair carries a written guarantee with a free second visit if the fix doesn’t hold. Learn more at Air Duct Repair in Simi Valley.

Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning Company in Simi Valley, CA
Here’s what typical jobs run in Simi Valley. These are whole-system prices, not per-vent teasers. The price we quote is the price you pay, in writing, before any work starts.
| Service | Typical range in Simi Valley |
|---|---|
| Full air duct cleaning (entire home) | $380 – $620 |
| Partial duct cleaning (single zone or trunk line) | $180 – $300 |
| Dryer vent cleaning (standard run) | $110 – $210 |
| Dryer vent cleaning (long or multi-story run) | $160 – $280 |
| Air duct repair (minor, per section) | $140 – $320 |
| Air duct repair (major, multiple sections) | $350 – $800 |
| Exhaust vent cleaning (bathroom or kitchen) | $120 – $240 |
| HVAC system inspection add-on with duct cleaning | $90 – $180 |
What pushes a Simi Valley quote toward the higher end is the age and condition of the existing ductwork. Four-decade-old fiberglass duct board takes longer to clean safely, and homes that ran the AC through the Easy Fire often need a slower, more thorough extraction pass. The written price you get before we start factors all of that in, so there’s no surprise invoice at the end.
