Air Duct Cleaning Company in Van Nuys, CA
Air duct cleaning in Van Nuys runs between $450 and $950 for most single-family homes, with apartments and smaller condos typically landing between $300 and $500. The work takes a half day on average and includes the full system: supply and return ducts, the air handler, and registers. Van Nuys jobs are shaped by housing stock that’s 50 to 70 years old and a Valley climate that pushes fine dust through those systems for months at a stretch. If you want a written price before anyone touches a vent, call (213) 733-0665.
Why Van Nuys Homes Are Different
Most Van Nuys homes were built between 1950 and 1975, and a lot of them still run the original galvanized ductwork. That matters because old ducts leak. They pull dust from attics, crawlspaces, and wall cavities even when the system is off, and decades of that adds up to a dense coating on the duct walls that a quick vacuum pass will never touch. Add the 405 and 101 freeway corridors on either side of the neighborhood, and the debris we pull out usually contains fine soot, tire dust, and desert particulate along with the usual skin cells and pet dander.
The San Fernando Valley’s heat means air conditioning runs hard from June through October. That constant airflow is efficient at picking up whatever’s in the ducts and circulating it through living spaces. During Santa Ana wind events, the fine particulate load in Van Nuys air rises noticeably, and open windows invite it in. For homes with allergy sufferers or asthma, that’s a real concern. Clean ducts alone won’t fix the problem, but they stop the HVAC system from acting as a distribution network for whatever has settled inside it.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Van Nuys Services
Van Nuys homeowners call us for two jobs: full system air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each has its own page with pricing, process details, and answers to the questions we hear most.
Air Duct Cleaning in Van Nuys
Our technicians tackle the whole system: supply ducts, return ducts, the air handler, registers, and the plenum. In Van Nuys, we routinely find duct runs packed with a mix of fine desert dust, soot from the 405 and 101 corridors, and construction debris from decades-old renovations. The process uses a Rotobrush rotary brush to dislodge material at the duct wall while a Nikro negative-pressure unit pulls it out of the living space. Expect a half-day job and a written price before we start. Details are on the Air Duct Cleaning in Van Nuys page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Van Nuys
Dryer vents in Van Nuys apartments and older homes often run long distances from the laundry closet to the exterior wall, and long runs collect lint faster. In multi-unit buildings, the vent may travel through shared walls or the roof, which makes access trickier and makes a professional cleaning the safer choice. Our equipment includes the Abatement Technologies negative-air system that captures lint at the exit point so it doesn’t blow into the living area. See the Dryer Vent Cleaning in Van Nuys page for pricing and specifics.

What Van Nuys Customers Say
"Thorough job and the price was exactly what they quoted. Took a little longer than they estimated, about an extra hour, but they didn't rush and they cleaned up after. No dust left on the floor."
- Nina Castellano"Bought an older home and the previous owners had pets everywhere. After Kestrel did the ducts the stale smell was just gone. On time, quick, and they showed me the filter they pulled."
- Preston Ngata"Booked them because our old HVAC guy mentioned the ducts were filthy. Quote on the phone matched the invoice to the dollar. Polite crew, laid down mats, in and out in about two hours."
