What Northbrook Homeowners Say About CleanRun Air Duct Cleaning Northbrook
We don’t chase reviews. We earn them by doing what we said we’d do, at the price we wrote down, with the photos to prove it. In Northbrook, where word travels fast through school districts and neighborhood associations, a reputation is built one duct run at a time. These are the voices of homeowners who watched our crews work, saw the before-and-after images, and decided the experience was worth repeating to someone else.
Recent Reviews
“We bought a ’62 ranch in the Techny area and the first winter smelled like every previous owner’s cooking oil had settled into the ductwork. Tomas walked the system with me, showed me the plenum - the big distribution box above the furnace - and explained why a standard vacuum job wouldn’t touch the grease film on the walls. His crew ran negative-pressure extraction with a Rotobrush through every duct run, the individual supply and return lines, and the photo record showed the metal actually shining afterward. Written price was $420 before they touched a single register. No change at the end.”

“Our daughter’s asthma flared every October when the heat kicked on. I was skeptical that duct cleaning would matter, but I was also tired of ER visits. The CleanRun technician found a 2-inch debris build-up at the first elbow of the main return, plus what looked like old plaster from a renovation before we owned the place. They sealed the duct runs after cleaning, not just vacuumed and left. Gabriela hasn’t needed her rescue inhaler since October. The photo record is on my phone if anyone asks me to prove it.”

“I manage a few rental properties near Northbrook Court and got burned by a coupon company last year - $89 special that became $680 once the van was in the driveway. Tomas gave me a written price for the full building, per HVAC system, before his crew unloaded equipment. Two furnaces, 34 registers total, documented photo record for each unit. I compared his number to the competitor’s invoice from the previous tenant turnover. CleanRun was higher on paper, lower in reality, and I didn’t have to argue with anyone.”

“The house on Voltz Road has original galvanized ductwork from 1974. Every HVAC guy told me replacement was the only option. Tomas said the metal was sound but the seams had opened from decades of thermal expansion - the heating and cooling cycles that stress sheet metal joints. His crew cleaned the system with Nikro equipment, then sealed the leaks with mastic and mechanical fasteners, not tape that would dry out in two seasons. Airflow at the master bedroom register went from a whisper to what you’d expect from a modern system. He wrote the price on a scope sheet while we were still in the basement. That number didn’t move.”
- Daniel M., Voltz Road, Northbrook
“I’m an engineer. I don’t trust marketing. I trust instruments and documentation. CleanRun delivered a photo record from inside every duct run - not a representative sample, every run - with timestamps. The before images showed fiberglass liner degrading in the return trunk. The after images showed clean metal. The written scope matched what I watched them do. Haven Standard Clause 1, written price before work starts, is not a gimmick here. It’s the actual process.”
- Mark P., Techny, Northbrook
“My mother’s house on Cedar Lane hadn’t had the ducts touched in 18 years. The crew found a bird nest in the exhaust flue - a genuine carbon monoxide risk, not a sales tactic - and showed me the photo before mentioning remediation. They handled the removal, inspected the heat exchanger for cracks while they had access, and cleaned the full system. I paid the written price, which included the nest removal because Tomas had scoped the flue during his initial walkthrough. My mother is 84. She doesn’t need surprises. She didn’t get any.”

These aren’t cherry-picked exceptions. They’re what happens when you build a company around documentation instead of persuasion.
