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.

HVAC cleaning in Elk Grove Village typically runs $380-$620 for a full system, with air quality and sanitizing services adding $200-$450 depending on scope. We’re CleanRun Duct Repair & Cleaning, and we dispatch crews to Elk Grove Village from our Chicago office to clean, document, and repair duct systems in homes built mostly during the 1960s and 1970s. Call (224) 344-8881 for a written estimate before any work starts.
Why Elk Grove Village Homes Are Different
Elk Grove Village sits next to one of the largest planned industrial parks on earth, with thousands of manufacturing and logistics operations running inside village limits, all under active O’Hare flight paths. That combination of industrial particulates, diesel exhaust from heavy freight on Touhy and Thorndale, and jet combustion byproducts creates a contaminant load in residential ducts that reads measurably heavier than in bedroom suburbs like Schaumburg or Hoffman Estates.
The housing stock reinforces the problem. Most Elk Grove Village homes went up between the late 1950s and early 1970s as ranch and split-level tracts, and their 50-plus-year-old sheet metal duct systems often carry deteriorating original fiberglass liner that sheds particles directly into the airstream. Near Pratt Avenue and Lively Boulevard, crews regularly pull debris with a greasy, metallic smell, the signature of fine industrial aerosols infiltrating through older building envelopes. Chicago-area climate extremes, 20-30 days below freezing each winter and humid summers, force year-round HVAC cycling that accelerates fouling beyond regional norms.
Our Main Elk Grove Village Services
Three services drive most calls from Elk Grove Village homeowners. Each has its own dedicated page with full pricing and scope details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Elk Grove Village
Full negative-pressure extraction of supply and return duct runs, register to plenum, with a documented photo record of every line. In Elk Grove Village, the industrial particulate load means we often find heavier buildup at first elbows and in trunk lines facing prevailing winds. Air Duct Cleaning in Elk Grove Village covers complete residential system pricing and what the photo record includes.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Elk Grove Village
Lint and debris removal from dryer exhaust ducts to the exterior termination, with airflow testing before and after. Older Elk Grove Village homes with original vent routing through finished basements or long horizontal runs see more restriction points than newer construction. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Elk Grove Village has full scope and cost details.
Duct Repair & Sealing in Elk Grove Village
Sheet metal repair, joint sealing with mastic, and fiberglass liner replacement where deterioration has reached the substrate. The aged housing stock here makes this more common than in suburbs with post-1990 construction. Duct Repair & Sealing in Elk Grove Village explains when repair beats replacement.

BeforeAfterHVAC Cleaning in Elk Grove Village
HVAC cleaning in Elk Grove Village addresses the accelerated fouling that comes from year-round system cycling and the village’s unique industrial particulate exposure. We clean the components that move and condition air, not just the ducts that carry it, because a coated evaporator coil or clogged blower wheel recirculates contaminants no matter how clean the duct runs are. HVAC Cleaning covers our full equipment and methodology standards.
Evaporator Coil Cleaning
Signs you need it
Ice buildup on the coil, weak airflow from registers, or a musty smell when the AC first cycles on.
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 for the job record.
Blower Cleaning
Signs you need it
Vibration or noise from the air handler, uneven heating or cooling between rooms, or dust puffing from registers at startup.
What it costs in Elk Grove Village
Blower cleaning typically runs $160-$280 in Elk Grove Village.
How we do it
We remove the blower assembly, clean the wheel and housing with compressed air and solvent, balance the assembly, and document with before-and-after photos.
What HVAC Cleaning Costs in Elk Grove Village
| Item | Typical range in Elk Grove Village |
|---|---|
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $180-$340 |
| Blower cleaning | $160-$280 |
| Full HVAC system cleaning (coil, blower, housing) | $380-$620 |
How do I know my HVAC components actually need cleaning?
We inspect with a borescope camera before quoting; if the coil and blower show minimal buildup, we’ll tell you and charge only for the inspection. Call (224) 344-8881 to schedule a look.
Can HVAC cleaning fix uneven temperatures between rooms?
Sometimes, if the blower wheel is clogged or the coil is iced; if duct leakage is the cause, we’ll flag that during inspection and quote duct repair separately.
Air Quality & Sanitizing in Elk Grove Village
Air quality and sanitizing in Elk Grove Village targets the chemically complex contaminant load that industrial aerosols and aged fiberglass liner introduce into residential systems. Standard cleaning removes debris; sanitizing addresses biological growth and persistent odors that extraction alone won’t resolve. Air Quality & Sanitizing details our full treatment protocols.
Mold Treatment
Signs you need it
Visible growth on register fins or inside the plenum, or a persistent earthy smell when the system runs.
What it costs in Elk Grove Village
Mold treatment typically runs $350-$650 in Elk Grove Village.
How we do it
We apply EPA-registered antimicrobial through the duct system, treat the plenum and coil pan, and run post-treatment air samples to verify reduction.
UV Light Installation
Signs you need it
Repeated mold recurrence after cleaning, or a household member with respiratory sensitivity to airborne biologicals.
What it costs in Elk Grove Village
UV light installation typically runs $450-$850 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 before closing the panel.
What Air Quality & Sanitizing Costs in Elk Grove Village
| Item | Typical range in Elk Grove Village |
|---|---|
| Mold treatment | $350-$650 |
| UV light installation | $450-$850 |
| Whole-system sanitizing (mold + bacteria + odor) | $500-$950 |
Does sanitizing leave a chemical smell in the house?
No, the products we use are non-residual; any slight odor dissipates within 24 hours, and we ventilate the system before leaving. Call (224) 344-8881 for product specification sheets.
How long does mold treatment take to work?
Active growth stops immediately upon contact; visible staining may remain on porous surfaces, which we note in the photo record so you can track any recurrence.
