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 Elk Grove Village, IL
HVAC cleaning in Elk Grove Village runs $320-$680 for a whole-system job, with most homes in the 50-65 year old housing stock needing coil and blower attention alongside ductwork. The village’s original ranch and split-level homes were built with galvanized trunk-and-branch ductwork that has now endured six decades of Chicago’s temperature swings, and the industrial particulate load from the adjacent Business Park pushes debris accumulation well beyond typical suburban rates. Call (224) 351-9772 for a written price before any work starts.
Why Elk Grove Village Homes Are Different
Elk Grove Village sits in a unique position. The village hosts one of the largest contiguous industrial parks in the United States, with over 3,500 manufacturers operating directly against residential neighborhoods. Homes along the eastern and southern edges of the Business Park pull fine metal dust, chemical residue, and exhaust byproduct into their ductwork at rates we simply do not see in Schaumburg or Itasca. O’Hare’s flight path overhead adds jet exhaust particulates to the mix.
The housing stock compounds the problem. Built from the late 1950s through the early 1970s as a planned community, most Elk Grove Village homes rely on original galvanized sheet-metal ductwork now 50-65 years old. Joints have separated. Corrosion has opened gaps. Where ductwork should be sealed, attic debris and industrial particulates are drawn directly into the air stream. Chicago’s six-month heating and cooling seasons force systems to run at high intensity, accelerating buildup inside these aging runs.
The flat terrain around O’Hare offers little windbreak. Airborne particulates from undeveloped industrial corridors infiltrate homes more readily than in leafier, more sheltered suburbs. Technicians servicing streets bordering the Business Park routinely find blackened filters and supply registers coated with fine metallic dust traceable to nearby light manufacturing. This is not standard household dust.
Our Main Elk Grove Village Services
Elk Grove Village homeowners most often call us for these three services. Each has its own dedicated page with full pricing and scope details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Elk Grove Village
We clean every duct run with negative-pressure extraction, photographing the interior before and after so you can see what was actually removed. In Elk Grove Village, we pay particular attention to joints on aging galvanized trunk lines where industrial particulates and attic debris enter the system. Every job ends with a Documented Photo Record delivered to you. Air Duct Cleaning in Elk Grove Village
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Elk Grove Village
Dryer vents in Elk Grove Village homes often run through original construction with suboptimal routing, and lint accumulation accelerates when vents share wall cavities with aging ductwork. We clean the full vent path from appliance to termination, verify airflow with a manometer, and document the before-and-after condition. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Elk Grove Village
Duct Repair & Sealing in Elk Grove Village
Separated joints and corroded seams on 50-65 year old galvanized ductwork leak conditioned air into attics and crawl spaces while pulling unfiltered air back in. We seal accessible joints with mastic and mechanical fasteners, replace damaged sections, and pressure-test the repair. Duct Repair & Sealing in Elk Grove Village

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Elk Grove Village
HVAC cleaning in Elk Grove Village addresses the components that move air through your system: the evaporator coil, blower assembly, condenser, air handler, and heat exchanger. In homes with 50-65 year old original ductwork, these components work harder and accumulate debris faster than in newer construction, especially with the industrial particulate load from the Business Park and O’Hare overhead. HVAC Cleaning from CleanRun includes full documentation of every component’s condition.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice buildup on the coil, reduced airflow from registers, or your AC running continuously without reaching set temperature.
What it costs in Elk Grove Village
Evaporator coil cleaning typically runs $180-$340 in Elk Grove Village.
How we do it
We access the coil through the plenum, apply foaming cleaner, rinse with low-pressure water, and photograph the before and after condition.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration or noise from the air handler, weak airflow despite the motor running, or dust puffing from registers when the system starts.
What it costs in Elk Grove Village
Blower assembly cleaning typically runs $160-$280 in Elk Grove Village.
How we do it
We remove the blower wheel and housing, clean each blade and the motor housing, balance the assembly, and document with photos.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Elk Grove Village
| Item | Typical range in Elk Grove Village |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$340 |
| Blower assembly cleaning | $160-$280 |
| Full HVAC system cleaning (coil + blower + air handler) | $320-$680 |
How do I know my HVAC components are actually dirty?
We photograph every component before touching it and show you the image before quoting any work. If the coil is clean, we tell you.
Can HVAC cleaning fix my high energy bills in Elk Grove Village?
Dirty coils and blowers force your system to run longer, but the real efficiency loss in Elk Grove Village homes is often duct leakage from separated joints on original 1960s ductwork.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Elk Grove Village
Air quality and sanitizing in Elk Grove Village addresses what standard cleaning leaves behind: microbial growth on wet coils, bacteria in standing condensate, and persistent odors from industrial particulates embedded in porous duct lining. The combination of aging galvanized ductwork, high system runtime, and the Business Park’s particulate load creates conditions where biological contamination persists even after mechanical cleaning. Air Quality & Sanitizing includes application documentation and post-treatment verification.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Musty odor when the system runs, visible growth on registers or in the plenum, or family members with unexplained respiratory symptoms that worsen at home.
What it costs in Elk Grove Village
Mold treatment for accessible ductwork typically runs $280-$520 in Elk Grove Village.
How we do it
We apply EPA-registered antimicrobial through the duct system, treat the coil and plenum directly, and verify with post-treatment moisture and visual checks.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Recurring mold despite cleaning, frequent coil fouling, or a home in a high-humidity zone with constant system operation.
What it costs in Elk Grove Village
UV-C light installation in the plenum typically runs $340-$580 in Elk Grove Village.
How we do it
We mount a UV-C lamp in the supply plenum, wire to the air handler’s 24V circuit, and verify lamp output with a UV meter at installation.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Elk Grove Village
| Item | Typical range in Elk Grove Village |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment (ductwork + coil + plenum) | $280-$520 |
| UV-C light installation | $340-$580 |
| Combined air quality package (treatment + UV) | $520-$920 |
Is mold in my ducts common in Elk Grove Village?
More common than in leafier suburbs because industrial particulates provide nucleation sites for moisture to collect, and aging ductwork leaks create humid attic air infiltration.
Will UV lights eliminate the industrial odor in my Elk Grove Village home?
UV addresses biological odor sources; persistent chemical or metallic odors from Business Park proximity may require source-sealing of duct leaks combined with activated carbon filtration.
