FAQs
How often should I have my air ducts cleaned in Rockford?
For most homes in Rockford, the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends professional duct cleaning every 3–5 years. However, if you have pets that shed, recent remodeling work, allergy sufferers, or notice visible dust buildup around vents, you may benefit from more frequent service—about every 2–3 years.
What are the main benefits of professional duct cleaning?
Thorough duct cleaning removes dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and other contaminants that accumulate in your HVAC system. Benefits include improved indoor air quality, reduced allergy and asthma triggers, better HVAC efficiency (which can lower utility bills), longer equipment life, and elimination of musty or stagnant odors that circulate through the home.
What does your duct‐cleaning process involve?
Our team uses high‐powered negative‐air machines paired with rotating brush and compressed‐air whip tools. First, we seal off each register to create a closed loop. Then, starting at the furthest supply run, we dislodge debris with agitation tools while the HEPA‐filtered vacuum pulls contaminants out to our containment unit. We finish by sanitizing the plenum and applying an EPA‐registered antimicrobial treatment if requested. All supply and return grills are wiped clean before we restore airflow.
Will duct cleaning damage my HVAC system or ductwork?
No. Our technicians are NADCA‐certified and follow industry‐approved procedures that protect fragile duct liners, flex ducts, and HVAC components. We use controlled pressure settings and soft nylon brushes to avoid tearing or puncturing ducts, and we place protective guards around coils and blower fans. After cleaning, we perform a system start‐up test to ensure everything is functioning properly.
How long does a typical residential duct cleaning take?
A standard single‐family home in Rockford (2,000–3,000 sq. ft.) typically takes 2–4 hours to clean, depending on the number of supply and return runs, the complexity of the layout, and whether optional services such as dryer‐vent cleaning or antimicrobial fogging are added. Larger homes or those with multiple HVAC systems may take 4–6 hours.
How much does duct cleaning cost in the Rockford area?
Pricing varies by home size, number of HVAC systems, and any add‐ons. For most Rockford homes, professional duct cleaning starts around $399 and averages between $450 and $650. We provide free on‐site inspections and written estimates so you know exactly what to expect, and there are no hidden fees.
