Air Duct Cleaning Company in Fontana, CA
Air duct repair in Fontana solves a problem most homeowners don’t discover until a room won’t heat or cool properly. We’re Duct Cleaning Fontana, and we’ve served Fontana since 2017 with three focused services: air duct cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, and air duct repair. In Fontana’s post-1980s tract homes, original flex-duct runs sag, split, and disconnect in attics that bake at 140 degrees through the summer. Call (855) 501-3681 when you need a real fix, not a patch.
Why Fontana Homes Are Different
Fontana sits directly downwind of the Cajon Pass, and that geography dictates what happens inside your ducts. When Santa Ana winds kick up, they funnel fine desert dust and diesel soot from the I-15 and I-210 truck corridors straight into Fontana neighborhoods. The result is a tan, gritty layer that settles inside return ducts and coats every surface in the system. Homes in the south-side tracts along the I-15 corridor get it worst, but the whole city sees infiltration after every significant wind event.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Most of Fontana is post-1980s stucco tract development with forced-air systems and original flex-duct runs in the attic. Those flex ducts were never built to last forever. After two or three decades of Inland Empire heat, the outer jacket cracks, the inner liner tears, and the duct sags between supports. Ducts in these homes run through unconditioned attics where temperatures swing from freezing-adjacent winter nights to 130-plus degrees in August. Flex duct degrades faster here than in coastal cities, and the dry heat means every leak pulls attic air directly into your living space.
Older postwar homes near downtown Fontana tell a different story. Many still have galvanized trunk systems that were solidly built but often poorly sealed at the connections. After decades of settling and remodels, the joints open up and leak conditioned air into the crawlspace or attic. Whether it’s a 1985 flex-duct run or a 1965 galvanized trunk, the problem in Fontana is structural: ducts that leak, disconnect, or collapse, and a climate that punishes every weakness.

Our Main Fontana Services
Fontana homeowners call us most for air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Each is a distinct service with its own page, and here’s what you need to know before you call.
Air Duct Cleaning in Fontana
After a Santa Ana event, the dust that settles on your car also settles inside your return ducts. Our Air Duct Cleaning in Fontana service uses Rotobrush and Nikro systems, purpose-built contractor-grade equipment that reaches every linear foot of your duct run. We don’t do blow-and-go work. The cleaning includes source removal of debris from the return plenum to the supply registers, with Abatement Technologies HEPA filtration running during the job to keep loosened dust out of your living space. Homes near the I-15 corridor benefit most, but any Fontana home that hasn’t had its ducts cleaned in five-plus years will see a visible difference.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Fontana
Fontana’s dry climate makes dryer lint especially combustible. The same dry Santa Ana air that fills your ducts with dust also dries lint into a fine, highly flammable powder inside the dryer vent run. Our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Fontana service treats this as fire-safety work, not an add-on. We run a motorized brush through the full vent run from the dryer to the exterior termination, remove all built-up lint, and confirm proper airflow before we leave. If your dryer runs hot, takes two cycles to finish a load, or the vent hood flap doesn’t open when the dryer is on, call us before it becomes a bigger problem.
Air Duct Repair in Fontana
Air duct repair in Fontana is where we close the gap competitors leave open. Most duct cleaning companies will clean around a torn section of duct, note it on the invoice, and leave. We repair it. In Fontana’s post-1980s tracts, that means reconnecting flex duct that has pulled loose from a boot, sealing leaking plenum connections, and replacing sections where the outer jacket has cracked and exposed the inner liner. In older homes near downtown, it often means sealing galvanized trunk joints and replacing rusted sections that have started pulling conditioned air from the attic instead of the supply plenum. Duct repair in Fontana is not a sideline for us. It’s one of the three services we do, and we bring the same professional-grade approach to every job. Our full service breakdown lives on the Air Duct Repair page.
Ductwork Repair
Signs you need it
Rooms that never reach the set temperature, a sudden spike in your electric bill, visible dust streaks at supply registers, and air blowing weakly from one room while others blast.
What it costs in Fontana
Ductwork repair in Fontana typically runs $180 to $450 depending on access, the number of leaks, and whether we’re working in an attic, crawlspace, or exposed basement run.
How we do it
We locate every leak with a pressure test or visual inspection, seal accessible joints with mastic and UL-rated tape, and replace torn flex sections with properly sized and supported runs.
Air Duct Replacement
Signs you need it
Flex duct that has collapsed, an outer jacket that’s split along its length, insulation that’s turned to dust, or asbestos-wrapped ducts in pre-1980 Fontana homes that should come out.
What it costs in Fontana
Full air duct replacement in Fontana runs $1,000 to $2,700 per system, with the price driven by the number of runs, attic accessibility, and whether the trunk line stays or goes.
How we do it
We pull out the failed sections or the full system, install new R-6 or R-8 flex duct or properly sealed galvanized pipe, support every run, and balance the airflow for consistent room temperatures.
Ductwork Installation
Signs you need it
You added an addition or finished a garage and the HVAC wasn’t extended, or existing ductwork is so undersized that airflow is weak across the entire system.
What it costs in Fontana
New ductwork installation in Fontana typically runs $1,700 to $4,000 for a full system, with partial additions priced per run based on length and access.
How we do it
We calculate room-by-room airflow requirements, run properly sized supply and return ducts, seal every connection with mastic, and test the finished system for balance and leakage.

What pushes the price up in Fontana: attic access in July and August, disconnected or collapsed flex runs in homes near the I-15 corridor that need replacement rather than cleaning, and systems where the original contractor undersized the ducts and we’re correcting it. What doesn’t push price up: we quote one flat price per system before any work starts, and you approve that number. No per-vent pricing, no bait-and-switch, no surprises.

What Fontana Customers Say
"Ran a negative air machine on the whole system rather than the shop vac on a stick that the cheap outfit down the road uses. Showed me the before and after photos from inside the trunk line and it was genuinely disgusting."
- Rafael Herrera"Two guys, about three hours, plastic down at every register, and they wiped the vent covers before putting them back."
- Oscar Salazar"Quoted per system rather than the bait and switch per vent pricing everybody else in town uses. The number I was told on the phone was the number on the invoice."
