FAQs - Indoor Air Duct Cleaning - Chicagoland and Suburbs

Q: Will my house be dirty after the cleaning?

Not the way Indoor Air cleans air ducts. Air duct cleaning can be extremely messy when done improperly. You should be pleasantly surprised at how clean your home remains before, during and after the cleaning. We’re very particular about cleanliness so all of our technicians wear shoe covers in your home and use drop clothes when necessary.

Q: How long does the cleaning process take?

You can expect anywhere from 1.5 to 3.5 hours for an average size home and longer for larger homes. We realize that is a pretty wide range but there a few factors involved like degree of contamination, crew size (a 2 man crew will accomplish more in less time), and the complexity of the duct system. Please note, the time we spend in your home is devoted to cleaning your air ducts. That is to say, some companies will state they take the time to do it right, but the majority of that time is spent washing your vents by hand with very little time spent actually cleaning your ducts, or just standing around banging on the ducts a couple of times while they tell you that the vacuum is doing all the work, or any of the other time wasting gimmicks used by unscrupulous duct cleaners. Our expertise and the money you’re paying us is all spent on the thorough cleaning of your ventilation system.

Q: How much does it cost to have my ducts cleaned?

There are many factors that we take into account before we can quote you a price. Please call our office and we’d be happy to provide you with an exact quote. We can tell you this, if you’re looking for the cheapest price you’re on the wrong website. If you’re looking for a professional company that does honest work at a fair price, you found your company.

Q: Where does all of the dirt and debris from my ducts go?

That’s another big difference between Indoor Air and a lot of the other companies out there. We don’t just blow the dust around in your ducts, we completely remove it from your home for good. All the dirt gets collected by our large vacuum system which remains outside your home. We don’t bring any large equipment into your home that might damage walls, only the hoses.

Q: Can I see all the dirt that comes out of my air ducts?

Unfortunately no. All the dirt and debris go into the same collection bag. However, we can usually show you the inside of your ductwork before and after the cleaning so you can see a difference.

Q: Will all the vents have to be taken off?

We prefer to take off all the vent covers. However, if they are heavily painted over we have special tools we can use to get the area clean. We can also use a razor to cut a seam around the vent. We do this all the time and have a great deal of experience at it but we can’t guarantee that this action won’t harm the appearance of the wall.
