Air Duct Cleaning Services

Breathe Easier with Professional Air Duct Cleaning | Carpet Tile and Plus

The air quality inside your home directly impacts your family’s health and comfort. At Carpet and Tile Plus, we provide thorough air duct and vent cleaning services that remove accumulated dust, allergens, and contaminants from your HVAC system. Serving the Northwest Chicago suburbs since 2004, our family-owned business is committed to creating healthier indoor environments through our specialized cleaning techniques and organic solutions.

Why Clean Your Air Ducts?

Most homeowners don’t realize that their HVAC systems can become repositories for:

• Dust and debris that continuously recirculate through your home
• Pollen, pet dander, and other allergens that trigger respiratory issues
• Mold spores that can develop in humid conditions
• Unpleasant odors that affect your home’s freshness
• Particulates that reduce your HVAC system’s efficiency

The EPA estimates that indoor air can be 2-5 times more polluted than outdoor air, with some homes registering levels 100 times higher. When you consider that the average person takes about 20,000 breaths per day, the quality of the air in your home becomes a critical health concern.

Benefits of Professional Air Duct Cleaning

Improved Indoor Air Quality

Removing accumulated contaminants from your ductwork significantly reduces the number of airborne particles in your home, leading to cleaner, fresher air for your family to breathe.

Reduced Allergy and Asthma Symptoms

Many of our customers report noticeable relief from allergy and asthma symptoms after a professional duct cleaning removes the irritants that trigger these conditions.

Enhanced Energy Efficiency

Clean air ducts allow your HVAC system to operate more efficiently, potentially lowering your energy bills while extending the life of your equipment.

Elimination of Odors

Our thorough cleaning process removes dust, mold, and bacteria that can cause persistent unpleasant odors throughout your home.

Less Household Dust

With clean ducts, you’ll notice significantly less dust accumulating on your furniture, floors, and other surfaces, reducing the time you spend cleaning.

Our Comprehensive Air Duct Cleaning Process

1. Initial Inspection and Assessment

Our technicians begin with a thorough evaluation of your HVAC system, identifying problem areas and assessing the level of contamination in your ductwork.

2. System Protection

Before cleaning begins, we take measures to protect your home and HVAC components, ensuring no damage occurs during the cleaning process.

3. Powerful Negative Pressure

We use commercial-grade equipment to create negative pressure in your ductwork, which pulls contaminants into our collection system rather than allowing them to escape into your home.

4. Agitation and Debris Removal

Our specialized tools dislodge stubborn debris from the interior surfaces of your ducts, including areas that are typically difficult to reach.

5. Vent and Register Cleaning

We meticulously clean all accessible vents, registers, and returns throughout your home, removing built-up dust and debris.

6. Main Component Cleaning

The cleaning process includes your system’s main components, such as the air handler, blower motor, evaporator coil, and drain pan, which can harbor significant contaminants.

7. Sanitizing Treatment (Optional)

For homes with particular concerns about bacteria, mold, or odors, we offer an optional EPA-registered sanitizing treatment that’s safe for your family and pets.

8. Final Inspection

We conduct a thorough final inspection, often using before-and-after photography to demonstrate the effectiveness of our cleaning process.

When Should You Clean Your Air Ducts?

The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends having your air ducts professionally cleaned every 3-5 years. However, certain situations may call for more frequent cleaning: like after home renovation or remodeling projects, or when purchasing a new home

A typical air duct cleaning for an average-sized home takes approximately 3-5 hours, depending on the system’s size, configuration, and level of contamination.

The general recommendation is every 3-5 years for most homes, but factors like pets, allergies, recent renovations, or visible contamination may necessitate more frequent cleaning.
