Duct and Dryer Vent Cleaning in Exeter, NH
Serving Exeter, New Hampshire and the rest of Rockingham County since 1994. No gimmicks, just honest work with proof.
Kealey's Duct and Dryer Cleaning cleans air ducts and dryer vents for homes across Exeter, New Hampshire and the rest of Rockingham County on the NH Seacoast. It is a family business run by Brian and Keenan Kealey from 9 Del-Logan Drive in Salisbury, Massachusetts, serving the Seacoast since 1994. Exeter's older colonial and multi-family homes often hold decades of dust and allergens in their ductwork, and long dryer runs collect lint that slows drying and raises fire risk. We clear it out and back the work with upfront pricing and before-and-after photos. For detail on each service, see air duct cleaning in Exeter, NH and dryer vent cleaning in Exeter, NH. Call (978) 961-4513 for a free quote.
Exeter, NH homeowners know that Rockingham County winters put real demands on home heating systems. Between older colonial-style homes, multi-family buildings, and heating seasons that stretch from October through April, dust, allergens, and lint build up faster than most people realize. That buildup doesn't just affect air quality - it strains your HVAC system and creates real fire risk in dryer vents.
Kealey's provides professional air duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning throughout Exeter and the surrounding Seacoast communities. We're a father-and-son team with a mechanical engineering background, 32 years of experience, and a straightforward approach: we show you what we find, show you what we remove, and never pressure you into services you don't need.
Air Duct & Dryer Vent Cleaning Services in Exeter, NH
Both services are available together or separately. Every job starts with an honest assessment and ends with visual proof of what was cleaned.
Air Duct Cleaning
A full inspection and cleaning of your HVAC duct system, removing years of accumulated dust, pet dander, and debris that circulate through your home every time the system runs.
- Supply and return duct cleaning
- Register and grille removal/cleaning
- Blower component inspection
- Before and after photo documentation
- Allergen and indoor air quality improvement
Dryer Vent Cleaning
A complete cleaning of your dryer vent run, from the connection behind the dryer to the exterior exhaust point. Failure to clean is the leading factor in residential dryer fires, and longer vent runs common in Exeter's older homes trap lint even faster.
- Full vent run cleaning (dryer to exterior)
- Exterior vent flap inspection
- Lint trap and connection check
- Fire risk reduction
- Improved drying efficiency
Air Duct or Dryer Vent Cleaning: Which Does Your Exeter Home Need?
They are two different systems with two different jobs. Here is how they compare.

| Signs to watch for | Dust around registers, a musty smell when the system runs, a recent renovation, pets | Loads needing two cycles, a dryer that runs hot, a burning smell, an outside flap that will not open |
| How often | Every 3 to 5 years for most homes, or when there is a clear reason | Once a year, per NADCA, more often with heavy use |

Why Exeter Homeowners Trust Kealey's
Kealey's is a locally operated, family-owned business - not a franchise. Founded by Brian Kealey, a mechanical engineer who built this company on doing things the right way, we've been serving Exeter and the Seacoast NH region since 1994. Today, Brian's son Keenan works alongside him, continuing a tradition of thoroughness, honesty, and treating every customer's home the way they'd treat their own.
We know the duct cleaning industry has earned a bad reputation. Too many companies run suspiciously cheap "whole house" specials, rush through the work, and leave homeowners wondering if anything was actually done. Kealey's operates differently. We use professional-grade equipment, take before and after photos of every job, and walk you through exactly what we found. No upselling, no high-pressure tactics - just real results you can see.
We serve Exeter and communities throughout Rockingham County and beyond, including dryer vent cleaning in Hampton, dryer vent cleaning in Portsmouth, air duct cleaning in Portsmouth, air duct cleaning in Hampton, and dryer vent cleaning in Kittery, ME.

Exeter's older housing stock and New Hampshire's climate create conditions that accelerate contamination in both air ducts and dryer vents. Here's what to watch for.
Signs Your Air Ducts Need Cleaning
Older Exeter homes with original ductwork can accumulate years of dust, pet dander, and allergens. Humid New Hampshire summers add moisture to duct systems, and winter months with sealed windows mean more indoor air recycling through the same ducts.
- Visible dust buildup near registers and vents
- Musty or stale odors when the HVAC runs
- Allergy symptoms that worsen indoors
- Rising energy bills without explanation
- Rooms heating or cooling unevenly
Industry recommendation: clean ducts every 3-5 years, more often for homes with pets, smokers, recent renovations, or allergy sufferers.
Dryer Vent Fire Hazards in Exeter Homes
The U.S. Fire Administration counts about 2,900 clothes dryer fires in residential buildings each year, and failure to clean is the leading contributing factor. Longer duct runs common in Exeter's colonial and multi-family homes trap lint faster and increase that risk.
- Clothes taking multiple cycles to dry
- Dryer running unusually hot to the touch
- Burning smell during dryer operation
- Exterior vent flap not opening fully
- More than a year since last cleaning
Kealey's recommends annual dryer vent inspection and cleaning for Exeter homes, especially those with longer vent runs.
