Straight answers
Questions worth asking before anyone cleans your ducts.
A good estimate should make the process easier to understand, not more mysterious.
What does air duct cleaning include?
Duct Hound scopes the HVAC system before work begins, protects the work area, places the duct system under controlled negative pressure, agitates accessible supply and return runs, and completes a visual review. The final written scope will identify what is included for your specific system.
How do I know whether my ducts need cleaning?
Visible debris at registers, material left after construction, confirmed contamination inside the system, or a long unknown service history can justify an inspection. Dust on furniture by itself does not prove the ducts are the cause.
Do you serve my city?
Our current route map includes 110 named markets across McHenry, Lake, Kane, DuPage and northern Cook routes, plus southern Wisconsin. Use the service-area page to check the complete list.
Will you make health claims about my home?
No. We explain what we can see, what our process can remove, and where the limits are. Air duct cleaning is a mechanical cleaning service—not a medical diagnosis or a cure-all.
