Why Exeter Trusts Us

A Different Kind of Duct Cleaning Company

Four things shape who we are, how we work, and the standards we hold ourselves to on every visit.

01 Three Decades Local

Built on 32 Years of Local Service

Brian Kealey founded the business in 1993 in nearby Salisbury, MA. Over thirty years of serving New England homeowners has built relationships that span generations of the same families.

02 Engineering Background

Founded by a Mechanical Engineer

Brian's degree in mechanical engineering shapes how every system is approached. Decisions about your home are grounded in technical understanding, not commission targets or sales scripts.

03 Father and Son

The Same Two People on Every Visit

Brian and his son Keenan personally handle each job. The person who answers your call is the person who shows up at your door. That continuity is part of how we maintain consistency across every home we serve.

04 Pricing Promise

The Quote You Get is the Bill You Pay

Flat pricing agreed up front. No mid-job add-ons, no surprise charges, no pressure to authorize additional services once we are inside. Honest pricing has been part of how we operate since day one.

Our Process

How We Clean Your Exeter Home's Air Ducts

Three steps. Each one documented. Each one explained as we go.

01

Inspect and Document

We start with a full visual inspection of your supply and return system. Photos document the starting condition so you can see exactly what we are working with before any cleaning begins.

02

Truck-Mounted Vacuum and Rotary Brush Clean

Using commercial truck-mounted vacuums combined with rotary brushes and power-whip tools, we agitate and extract built-up dust, pollen, pet dander, and debris from every line, register, and trunk. Floors and furniture protected throughout.

03

Verify, Photograph, and Walk Through

We re-inspect, capture after photos, and walk you through everything we cleaned. You see the documented results before we leave. Then we put your home back exactly the way we found it.

What's Included on Every Visit

  • Full supply and return line cleaning
  • All vent registers and grilles
  • Main trunk line cleaning
  • Blower compartment cleaning
  • Floor and furniture protection
  • Before and after photo documentation

The Kealey's Standard

Three decades. One family. Every home treated like our own. Brian and Keenan personally handle each job from the first phone call to the final walk-through, with the same care, transparency, and attention to detail we have brought to New England homes since 1993.

Does Your Home Need It?

Signs an Exeter Home is Ready for Duct Cleaning

Older Rockingham County housing stock, heavy seasonal heating, and pet activity all contribute to faster duct buildup. Here is what to watch for.

Visible dust around registers

Streaking or gray discoloration around supply and return covers is the earliest visible sign of a system overdue for cleaning.

Allergy symptoms when the system runs

New England spring and fall pollen settles in duct lines and recirculates each time the heating or cooling cycle begins.

Older Exeter home, original ductwork

Many Exeter homes built before 1980 have systems that have never been thoroughly cleaned. The buildup compounds.

Pets in the home

Dander and hair build up in returns and trunk lines faster than most homeowners realize. The HVAC pulls it through every cycle.

Recent renovation or construction

Drywall dust, sanding residue, and project debris end up circulated through the duct system long after the project finishes.

You do not know when it was last done

If you cannot remember the last cleaning, it is worth a look. We will tell you honestly whether it actually needs the service.

"Kealey's Duct and Dryer Cleaning was outstanding from start to finish. Communication was clear and timely, the quality of work was excellent, and their attention to detail really stood out. Everything was handled professionally and efficiently. 10/10, would absolutely recommend."

Featured Review

"They did a fantastic job and were very professional. They also took the time to explain how our system works as I'd never owned a home with forced hot air or central air conditioning. I'd rate this company a 10 out of 10 and will definitely have them back when the system requires its next cleaning. They also installed a much safer dryer vent system than the one we had when we moved in a couple of months ago. Safety is always number one in my mind when dealing with dryer venting and this company is top notch. I cannot put into words how impressed and satisfied I am with the job Brian and his son performed. A+"

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should air ducts be cleaned in an Exeter home?
For most Exeter homes, every three to five years is a reasonable schedule. Pets, allergies, recent renovations, or older homes with original ductwork can shorten that interval. We will give you an honest read after the inspection rather than push a one-size-fits-all recommendation.
How long does an air duct cleaning take?
Most homes take three to four hours from setup to walk-through, depending on the size of the system and how much buildup we find. We will give you a time estimate before we start so you can plan your day around it.
Do I need to be home during the cleaning?
Yes, we ask that someone be home so we can walk you through the inspection findings, explain anything we discover, and review the before-and-after photos with you before we leave. The walk-through is part of how we work.
What sets Kealey's apart from other Exeter duct cleaners?
Three things. We are a family-owned operation founded by a mechanical engineer in 1993, not a franchise. We document every job with before-and-after photos so you see exactly what was done. And we hold flat, transparent pricing without the upsells the duct cleaning industry has become known for.
Can you clean my dryer vent during the same visit?
Yes. While we are in your home for the air duct cleaning, we can also handle dryer vent cleaning in the same appointment. Many Exeter homeowners ask for both services together. Mention it when you schedule and we will plan the time accordingly.
How far do you travel for service?
We serve homeowners throughout Rockingham County, NH, all of Essex County, MA, and parts of York County, ME. From our base in Salisbury, MA, we are able to schedule Exeter homes within the same week most of the year.
