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 in Yonkers, NY
Dryer vent cleaning in Yonkers costs between $89 and $189 for a standard single-story vent run, though most homes along the Hudson corridor fall in the $119-$159 range once access length and lint volume are accounted for. Yonkers is not a typical suburban market: the dense pre-war multifamily stock near Getty Square was built for radiator heat, then retrofitted with forced air decades later, and those improvised duct and vent runs behave differently than anything in a purpose-built colonial. If your dryer takes two cycles to finish a load, call (806) 606-6902 and we’ll put a written price in front of you before a single panel comes off.
Why Yonkers Homes Are Different
Yonkers does not have one housing type. It has three stacked on top of each other, and each one changes how ductwork behaves. South of downtown, the neighborhoods around Getty Square and the Nepperhan River corridor are dense pre-WWII multifamily buildings, many originally steam-heated and later converted to forced air during the 1960s and 70s. Those retrofit runs snake through walls and floor cavities never designed for them, with irregular turns, asbestos-taped seams, and decades of debris trapped at every elbow. A standard cleaning in one of these buildings is not a standard job.
North and east, in Crestwood and Colonial Heights, you have mid-century Cape Cods, ranches, and co-op complexes. These systems are more conventional, but they sit closer to the Hudson’s humid summer air. The riverfront elevation change from the waterline up to the inland ridge creates microclimates where basement flex ducts condense moisture against the interior liner. We see mold colonization in river-adjacent basement ducts at a far higher rate than in the hilltop neighborhoods two miles east. Add the old Alexander Smith Carpet Mills corridor along the Nepperhan, and you get something no other city has: interiors coated in a fine, dense lint-like particulate from decades of ambient fiber release. Brushing that material releases it in clouds. HEPA-filtered negative air is not a luxury on those jobs. It is the only safe way to do them.
Our Main Yonkers Services
Homeowners in Yonkers call us most about two jobs: the full air duct cleaning on the system itself, and the HVAC cleaning that covers the equipment feeding it. Here is how each one works in this city’s housing stock.
Air Duct Cleaning in Yonkers
Full-system air duct cleaning in Yonkers means removing the accumulated debris from every supply and return run. In the south-end retrofits, that often includes working around asbestos-wrapped insulation that must not be disturbed, and in the northeast co-ops it means navigating limited mechanical-room access to reach the main plenum. We send a camera down every run before any cleaning begins, so the condition of the ducts, not our opinion, determines the scope. See the full breakdown on the Air Duct Cleaning in Yonkers page.
HVAC Cleaning in Yonkers
HVAC cleaning in Yonkers addresses the whole mechanical system: blower wheel, evaporator coil, condensate pan, plenum, and the duct runs attached to them. In basement-run systems near the river, the coil often carries a film of condensed humidity and biological growth that a duct-only cleaning would miss. The job gets written as a full scope with a single flat price, not a per-component upsell list. Details on the HVAC Cleaning in Yonkers page.

BeforeAfterDryer Vent Cleaning in Yonkers
Dryer vent cleaning in Yonkers typically runs $89 to $189 depending on vent length, access, and how much lint has compacted inside the run. The older multifamily buildings near Getty Square often route dryer vents through improvised pathways, up through wall cavities or across ceiling joists, and those runs accumulate compaction far faster than a straight six-foot vent out the back wall of a Crestwood ranch. When the vent is constricted, the dryer’s moisture sensor misreads, the heating element cycles longer, and the appliance works against itself. The fix is a full mechanical cleaning with the written photo record to prove it was actually done, every time. This is what Dryer Vent Cleaning looks like when it is done properly.
Vent Cleaning
Signs you need it
Laundry takes two or three cycles to dry, the dryer exterior gets unusually hot, or you smell a musty-burnt scent while the machine runs.
What it costs in Yonkers
Standard vent cleaning in Yonkers runs $119 to $159 for a single accessible run.
How we do it
Rotobrush or Nikro rotary tools spin through the full run while a HEPA-filtered negative air machine pulls loosened debris out of the structure, then we shoot before and after photos of the vent interior.
Lint Removal
Signs you need it
Visible lint accumulates at the exterior vent hood, or the vent has not been cleaned within the last three years while the dryer sees regular use.
What it costs in Yonkers
Heavy lint removal jobs, where packed material has to be worked loose from old retrofit runs, fall between $139 and $189 in Yonkers.
How we do it
We break up the compacted lint with flexible rotary rods, extract it under negative pressure, and hand you a camera record showing every elbow cleared.
Bird Guard Installation
Signs you need it
Birds or small animals have nested in or near the vent termination, or you hear scratching near the exterior hood.
What it costs in Yonkers
Bird guard installation in Yonkers is quoted as an add-on, typically $29 to $49 depending on termination size and access.
How we do it
A steel cage or mesh hood is mounted over the vent termination to block re-entry, and the run is re-photographed after cleaning.
What Dryer Vent Cleaning Costs in Yonkers
| Item | Typical range in Yonkers |
|---|---|
| Standard vent cleaning, single run | $119 - $159 |
| Heavy lint removal, retrofit runs | $139 - $189 |
| Bird guard installation (add-on) | $29 - $49 |
How often should I clean my dryer vent in Yonkers?
Every year if the home is in a river-adjacent retrofit building or if the vent run is long and convoluted. Every two years for standard single-family homes in Crestwood or Colonial Heights. The humidity and the run geometry drive the interval.
Why is my dryer still slow after I cleaned the lint trap?
The lint trap catches only a portion of what passes through. The vent run itself fills with fine lint that compacts at elbows and joints, which is why a mechanical cleaning with a camera record matters more than a trap-level habit. Call (806) 606-6902 for a written quote.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Yonkers
Duct repair and sealing in Yonkers is driven by the age of the built stock: the pre-war to mid-century conversion systems near Getty Square and the Nepperhan corridor have joints sealed with materials that have dried, cracked, or come apart entirely. What that means in practice is conditioned air leaking into wall cavities, debris entering the air stream through gaps, and rooms that never reach the thermostat’s setpoint. In the humid river-adjacent basements along the western edge, compromised connections also pull damp air into the system, feeding mold on the interior liner. The scope here is not a patch job. It is a materials-matched repair with a written warranty, and the work is documented at every seam. This is Duct Repair & Sealing as a structural fix, not a bandage.
Duct Sealing
Signs you need it
Rooms run unevenly hot or cold while the blower runs constantly, or your energy bill tracks far above what a system this size should consume.
What it costs in Yonkers
Duct sealing in Yonkers runs $204 to $319 for the first run, with additional runs priced in writing before work starts.
How we do it
Mastic sealant or aluminum tape is applied to every joint and seam, then the run is pressure-tested and re-photographed.
Flex Duct Repair
Signs you need it
The inner liner of a flexible duct has torn or separated, often visible as a damp spot or lint buildup near a run in a basement or attic.
What it costs in Yonkers
Flex duct repair in Yonkers runs $250 to $400 per run depending on diameter and access.
How we do it
The damaged section is cut out and replaced with new material, then the connection is sealed and tested.
Duct Insulation
Signs you need it
Sweating or condensation forms on the outside of ducts in summer, especially in river-adjacent basements where humid air meets cold duct walls.
What it costs in Yonkers
Duct insulation in Yonkers is priced per linear foot and quoted in writing before work starts, with no per-vent surcharges.
How we do it
Insulation is wrapped or sleeved around the exterior of the duct, seams are sealed, and the whole run is photographed before and after.
What Duct Repair & Sealing Costs in Yonkers
| Item | Typical range in Yonkers |
|---|---|
| Duct sealing, first run | $204 - $319 |
| Flex duct replacement, per run | $250 - $400 |
| Duct insulation, per linear foot | Quoted in writing on site |
Do I need a permit for duct repair in Yonkers?
Most sealing and repair work on existing residential ducts does not require a permit in Yonkers, but full replacements that change the system’s layout may. We can tell you before work starts whether your scope crosses that line.
Why did my last duct patch fail within a year?
Most failures come from mismatched materials or a fix that only addressed one joint while the surrounding run kept flexing. We seal the full run, not the visible gap, and back it with the written 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Yonkers
Air quality and sanitizing in Yonkers centers on moisture: the Hudson River keeps summer humidity high along the western edge, and the elevation climb from riverfront to ridge creates condensation conditions inside basement duct runs that most of the Northeast simply does not deal with. When duct interiors stay damp, they grow biology, and the air passing over them carries it into the living space. Older retrofit systems near Getty Square compound the problem: asbestos-wrapped liner material absorbs moisture and holds it, creating a biological reservoir that a surface wipe will not touch. The work involves treating the full run, not just the visible sections, and the results are documented with the same before and after photo record as every CleanRun job. See the full scope on the Air Quality & Sanitizing page.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty odor that persists after cleaning, visible growth on duct interiors or around registers, or a family member’s allergies worsen only when the HVAC runs.
What it costs in Yonkers
Mold treatment in Yonkers runs $351 to $589 for the first 10 feet of a duct run, with additional length priced per foot in writing.
How we do it
EPA-registered antimicrobial is applied to the full run interior under negative pressure, then the surface is HEPA-vacuumed and re-photographed.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring biological growth on the coil or pan, or a home with a documented humidity problem in the mechanical room.
What it costs in Yonkers
UV light installation in Yonkers starts at $255 for the unit and installation, with no hidden wiring or electrical fees added after the fact.
How we do it
A Honeywell or Guardsman UV lamp is mounted at the coil or plenum, wired into the blower circuit, and tested for output before we leave.
Air Purifier Install
Signs you need it
Household members have persistent respiratory irritation, or the home sits in a high-particulate corridor like the old mill neighborhoods near the Nepperhan.
What it costs in Yonkers
Air purifier installation in Yonkers is quoted as a complete job with the unit and labor in one written number, not a device price plus surprise add-ons.
How we do it
The purifier is mounted in the supply plenum or a standalone return, wired safely, and verified running with measured airflow.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Yonkers
| Item | Typical range in Yonkers |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment, first 10 ft of run | $351 - $589 |
| UV light installation (unit + labor) | $255+ |
| Air purifier install, complete | Quoted in writing on site |
Does sanitizing really get rid of the odor, or just cover it up?
A proper treatment kills the biological source, not the odor molecule. Antimicrobial application under negative pressure, followed by HEPA extraction, removes the material causing the smell. Fragrance masks do not. We do not use them.
Is the sanitizing treatment safe for my family?
The products are EPA-registered for residential HVAC use and applied under negative pressure so nothing escapes into the living space during treatment. The home is safe to occupy immediately after.

In Yonkers, the biggest price driver is access and run geometry: a retrofit run through a converted pre-war wall cavity takes longer to clean and to photograph properly than a straight basement run in a 1980s colonial. Older buildings also carry a higher chance of deteriorated liner or asbestos-taped joints that need careful handling, not aggressive brushing. Every CleanRun job carries a written price before work starts, and that number does not change once the van is parked outside.
