Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning in Hinsdale, IL
HVAC cleaning in Hinsdale typically runs $380-$680 for whole-system service, with most jobs scheduled within a week. We’re CleanRun, and we dispatch crews to Hinsdale from our Chicago office to handle the village’s mix of historic homes and large custom rebuilds. Call (708) 683-3974 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why Hinsdale Homes Are Different
Hinsdale’s teardown-and-rebuild cycle creates a contamination pattern we rarely see in Westmont or Clarendon Hills. When a neighboring lot clears for construction, drywall dust and spray-foam particles migrate through shared airspace and clog return-air systems on the same block. Homeowners often don’t connect their sudden dust issues to the job site next door until we show them the filter.
The housing stock sharpens the challenge. Pre-1960s homes on the local landmark register carry original or retrofitted forced-air ductwork with irregular access points. Post-1990s custom builds of 6,000-10,000 square feet run three to five separate HVAC zones, multiplying the labor and access complexity. The mature oak canopy throughout the village drives heavy spring pollen loads into outdoor intakes, and the full Chicago-area climate, sub-zero winters through humid summers, keeps systems running hard year-round.

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Hinsdale
Hinsdale’s extended heating season and heavy cooling loads mean HVAC components accumulate debris faster than in milder markets. The village’s mix of aging original equipment and oversized custom-zone systems creates uneven wear patterns we address with component-specific cleaning protocols. Our HVAC Cleaning service covers the full mechanical system, not just the ducts.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice buildup on the coil, reduced airflow at registers, or a musty odor when the AC first cycles on.
What it costs in Hinsdale
Evaporator coil cleaning in Hinsdale typically ranges from $180 to $340.
How we do it
We access the coil through the plenum, apply foaming cleaner, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the fins before and after.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration noise from the air handler, uneven heating or cooling across zones, or dust puffing from registers at startup.
What it costs in Hinsdale
Blower assembly cleaning in Hinsdale typically ranges from $160 to $280.
How we do it
We remove the blower wheel and motor assembly, clean each blade and the housing with compressed air and solvent, balance the wheel, and reinstall with torque verification.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Hinsdale
| Item | Typical range in Hinsdale |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180 - $340 |
| Blower assembly cleaning | $160 - $280 |
| Full HVAC system cleaning (coil, blower, cabinet) | $380 - $680 |
How do I know my HVAC needs cleaning versus just the ducts?
If rooms heat or cool unevenly, the system runs longer than it used to, or you smell must when the fan starts, the components inside the air handler need attention, not just the duct runs. Call (708) 683-3974 and we’ll scope the system to show you what’s inside.
Can HVAC cleaning fix the dust from my neighbor’s construction?
Cleaning removes accumulated debris but won’t stop new infiltration; we can identify intake pathways and recommend filter upgrades or temporary sealing until the job site finishes. Call (708) 683-3974 for an assessment.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Hinsdale
Hinsdale’s dense tree canopy and construction dust create a one-two punch: heavy organic loads in spring, particulate infiltration year-round from teardown activity. Our Air Quality & Sanitizing service treats biological growth and persistent odors that survive standard duct cleaning.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Visible growth on register fins, a wet-cardboard smell from vents, or allergy symptoms that worsen when the system runs.
What it costs in Hinsdale
Mold treatment for accessible duct runs in Hinsdale typically ranges from $280 to $520.
How we do it
We apply EPA-registered antimicrobial through the duct system under negative pressure, treat the plenum and coil pan, and deliver before-and-after photos of each treated section.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Repeated mold recurrence after treatment, or a household member with compromised immunity who needs continuous surface suppression.
What it costs in Hinsdale
UV-C light installation in Hinsdale typically ranges from $340 to $580 per unit.
How we do it
We mount a Honeywell or Aprilaire UV lamp in the supply plenum, wire to the blower circuit for automatic operation, and verify irradiance at the coil surface with a meter.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Hinsdale
| Item | Typical range in Hinsdale |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (per system) | $280 - $520 |
| UV-C light installation | $340 - $580 |
| Combined sanitizing package | $480 - $820 |
Will sanitizing help with construction dust from nearby teardowns?
Sanitizing addresses biological growth and odors, not particulate; for construction dust, we recommend HVAC cleaning with upgraded filtration, then assess whether mold risk from moisture intrusion warrants treatment. Call (708) 683-3974 for a written scope.
How long does UV light installation take?
Most single-zone installs finish in two to three hours; multi-zone homes with multiple air handlers require separate units and take longer, priced per system. Call (708) 683-3974 for an exact quote.

- Rafael I."The dryer vent was almost completely blocked with lint. They showed me the photograph and I understood immediately why the dryer had been running twice."
- Lucia M."Flat price agreed up front, no per-vent add-ons at the end. That was the whole reason I did not call the coupon company."
