Fast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Agoura
Air duct cleaning in Agoura typically costs $350-$650 for a full residential system, with most jobs completed in a single visit. If your Agoura home still has original ductwork from the 1970s-1990s or survived the 2018 Woolsey Fire without a post-fire HVAC inspection, you’re likely breathing recirculated ash, dust, and pollen every time your system runs. Our Air Duct Cleaning team has been serving Agoura and the surrounding canyon communities for over 42 years. We answer calls live, 24 hours a day, and we dispatch from our Los Angeles base to reach Agoura properties promptly. Call (855) 401-6006 for upfront pricing and a free estimate.
Why Bellows Air Duct & Vent Co. of California Is Agoura’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve built our reputation in Agoura on showing homeowners exactly what’s inside their ducts before we touch a tool. Every job starts and ends with a camera inspection. You see the ash, the dust, the disconnected boots. Then you see the clean.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained on Rotobrush and Nikro equipment. They know the hillside tracts off Kanan Road, the canyon homes near Mulholland Highway, and the Medea Creek neighborhood where original flex ductwork from the 1980s is still doing its best. When we say we’ll be there, we are. Calls are answered by a live person, not a voicemail tree, because that’s how a square deal starts.
Agoura homeowners who have lived through the Woolsey Fire and the Santa Ana wind seasons that follow understand why this matters. We’re not a coupon company that changes the price at the door. We disclose every cost before work begins. And we back it with our 90-Day Done Right Promise - in writing, no paperwork, no arguing.
Our Air Duct Cleaning Services in Agoura
Residential Duct Cleaning
Agoura’s housing stock is aging. The bulk of homes here were built between the 1970s and 1990s, with wood-frame construction and original flexible ductwork that’s now 30-50 years old. That ductwork tears, disconnects at joints, and pulls unfiltered attic air into your living space. We clean the full system - supply and return - and we camera-verify every foot. A typical residential duct cleaning in Agoura runs $350-$550 for a single-system home, depending on duct length and accessibility.
Commercial Duct Cleaning
Agoura’s commercial spaces along Agoura Road and Kanan Road - medical offices, retail suites, professional buildings - face the same Santa Ana wind burden as residences, but with higher occupancy and more stringent air quality expectations. We service commercial HVAC systems with Abatement Technologies and Nikro professional equipment, scheduling around your business hours to minimize disruption. Commercial jobs in Agoura typically start at $600 and scale with system complexity.
Supply Duct Cleaning
Supply ducts push conditioned air into your rooms. In Agoura, these lines often run through unconditioned attics where summer heat exceeds 140°F, degrading flex duct liners and loosening connections. Our supply duct cleaning includes register removal, line-by-line brushing and vacuuming, and resealing of all joints. Supply-only cleaning in Agoura runs $200-$350 when performed as a standalone service.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts are the lungs of your system - they draw air back to the handler for reconditioning. In Agoura, return intakes sit low on walls or in ceilings, perfectly positioned to collect the fine chaparral dust and wildfire ash that Santa Ana winds blast through the canyon corridors. Return duct cleaning is critical here, and it’s often the most contaminated section we find. Standalone return cleaning in Agoura is $180-$320; bundled with full-system service, it’s included in the $350-$650 range.
Full System Cleaning
Our most thorough service. We clean supply ducts, return ducts, the air handler cabinet, blower assembly, and coils - the entire airflow path. In Agoura, this is the service we recommend for post-Woolsey remediation and for homes with original ductwork that hasn’t been serviced in a decade or more. Full system cleaning runs $450-$650 for typical Agoura homes.
Video Inspection
Every Bellows job includes video inspection before and after cleaning. In Agoura, this isn’t a formality - it’s evidence. We’ve shown homeowners the gray-black ash residue still lining their ducts six years after the Woolsey Fire. We’ve documented disconnected boots hidden in crawl spaces beneath Medea Creek homes. The camera doesn’t lie, and neither do we. Video inspection is included with all cleaning services; standalone inspection for diagnostic purposes is $150-$200.

Trusted Brands We Service in Agoura
We clean and service ductwork connected to all major HVAC brands, and we carry professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies - the same names serious HVAC contractors specify for remediation work. For Agoura homeowners, this means we don’t need to special-order tools or delay your job. We stock the brushes, whips, and HEPA vacuums to handle original flex duct, rigid metal, or the mixed systems common in post-Woolsey rebuilds. If your Agoura home has a Honeywell or Aprilaire air cleaner integrated into the duct system, we service those too, ensuring the full airflow path is restored to specification.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Agoura Homes
- Post-Woolsey ash residue left uncleaned for years. Homes that survived the 2018 fire structurally often ran their HVAC systems during the smoke event, drawing fine particulates deep into ductwork. We’ve found visible gray-black ash coating duct interiors even in homes that look pristine from the curb. Every time the system runs, it recirculates those particulates.
- Original 1970s-1990s flex ducts with tears and disconnects. Agoura’s hillside tract developments used flexible ductwork that degrades after decades in hot attics and tight crawl spaces. Disconnected boots remain hidden, reducing efficiency by 20-40% and pulling in unfiltered attic debris. We recently serviced a 1980s tract home on Medea Valley Drive in the Medea Creek neighborhood. Our video inspection revealed original flex ductwork with a disconnected boot at the living room register and heavy chaparral dust caked throughout the system. After sealing the break and performing a full-system Rotobrush cleaning, airflow improved by 40% and the homeowner reported no more dusty film on furniture.
- Santa Ana wind events overwhelming standard filtration. Agoura’s canyon geography funnels desert dust, dried chaparral pollen, and wildfire smoke directly into residential HVAC intakes. Standard 1-inch filters load within weeks. Without proper duct sealing, cleaned systems recontaminate rapidly.
- Patchwork duct systems from post-fire rebuilds. Some Agoura parcels saw partial renovations after Woolsey, creating inconsistent duct conditions - new rigid metal tied to aging flex, mismatched diameters, improper supports. These hybrid systems require careful assessment before cleaning to avoid damaging new work or masking problems in old sections.

FAQs - Air Duct Cleaning in Agoura
Yes. We’ve inspected dozens of Agoura homes that survived structurally but still contain visible gray-black ash residue in their ductwork from HVAC systems that ran during the smoke event. That residue doesn’t break down or flush out on its own. Every heating or cooling cycle recirculates fine particulates into your living space. If your Agoura home hasn’t had a professional duct inspection since 2018, we strongly recommend one. Call (855) 401-6006 to schedule - estimates are free, and every job includes before-and-after video proof.
We can service most original flex ductwork, and cleaning often reveals whether replacement is actually necessary. Many Agoura homes have intact flex ducts with surface debris but sound structure - these clean up well. We flag tears, collapsed sections, or degraded liners for repair or replacement. Replacement of individual runs runs $400-$800 per line in Agoura, while full-system replacement is $3,500-$7,000. We never push replacement when cleaning and sealing will do. Call (855) 401-6006 for an honest assessment.
Every 3-5 years for most Agoura homes, and every 2-3 years if you live in a canyon corridor with direct Santa Ana exposure or if your home was affected by wildfire smoke. The prolonged dry season here - sometimes eight months without significant rain - means dust and pollen accumulate without natural flushing. Homes near Kanan Road, Mulholland Highway, or in the Medea Creek area typically need more frequent attention. Call (855) 401-6006 and we’ll assess your specific location and system condition.
Yes, often significantly. Musty odors after AC startup usually indicate microbial growth on coil surfaces or organic debris in return ducts - common in Agoura’s older hillside homes where crawl space moisture and attic heat create ideal conditions. Our full system cleaning includes coil and blower cabinet treatment. If the odor persists, we can apply a targeted sanitizing service. Most Medea Creek homeowners we serve report immediate improvement. Call (855) 401-6006 to schedule - we’ll camera-inspect first so you see the source before we quote.
Yes. Every Bellows job in Agoura includes video inspection before and after cleaning, at no extra charge. We run a camera through your supply and return lines so you see the ash, dust, or disconnected boots with your own eyes. This isn’t a sales tactic - it’s how we’ve operated for 42 years. The camera record is yours to keep. If you want a standalone inspection without immediate cleaning, that’s $150-$200. Call (855) 401-6006 to book.
