Indoor Air Quality-Allergies? Home to dusty? Our FREE QUOTE on air duct cleaning can help you and your family BREATHE EASY. Fully insured, no mess guarantee.
Even the most meticulous homeowners are shocked to discover the hidden dirt that exist within the air ducts of their heating and cooling system. Every system depends on the flow of air to work, and as this air circulates, it picks up some of the lint, dust particles, animal dander, and dirt that you normally find in your home. All of this collects and builds up in your ducts. And if your home is new construction the air ducts are probably littered with sawdust and other construction debris. This provides an excellent breeding ground for bacteria, fungi, mold spores, dust mites, and other harmful allergens.
Statistics show that 50% of all illnesses are caused by or aggravated by the polluted indoor air that you breathe everyday and that children are more likely to be affected than adults. All Season's Heating and Cooling free quote on air duct cleaning can help you breathe easy.

Here are some interesting facts that illustrate the need for duct cleaning.
Since the energy crisis of 1974, the American public has made a conscious effort to save energy. The typical U.S. home is now tighter and more efficient than ever before; but these steps to prevent heat loss often have a negative effect. Energy efficiency measures such as adding insulation, weather-stripping, caulking, etc., although they prevent heat loss, simultaneous trap bad air indoors. Most Americans spend 90% of their time indoors, breathing clean air can have an important impact on their health. Our exposure to toxic materials indoors is 5-10 times greater than is outdoors. While outdoor air has a dilution effect on pollutants, indoor air tends to trap and intensify pollutants. Air ducts naturally accumulate sizable deposits of dust and other contaminants over a period of years and in some cases months. This debris can reduce the efficiency of your heating and air conditioning system and even cause physical discomfort and illness by degrading the quality of air you breathe indoors.
What are the benefits of air duct cleaning?
Dust and other contaminates are actually pulled into the mechanical conveyance system through the return side of the system and from exterior sources. These contaminates build up inside the return ductwork. Many homes have inefficient filters, which trap less than 10 percent of the particulate that is drawn in the system. The average six-room house collects 40 pounds of dust each year!
Why should I have my ducts cleaned?
Your Health – Duct cleaning improves the health of your home living environment. It is estimated that ½ of all upper respiratory illnesses are caused by poor indoor air quality. According to the Department of Consumer Affairs, children are more likely than adults to be affected by poor indoor air – they breathe faster, inhale more air per unit of body weight, and are closer to the ground where concentrations are higher.
Your Home – Duct cleaning removes a substantial amount of dust and debris from the home, in some cases as much as ten pounds may be removed. These airborne pollutants contribute to dust in the air, on your furniture, and in your carpet.
Your Wallet – Dust and debris that is drawn into your system will soon overcome a standard household filter and begin to accumulate in the mechanical systems and ductwork. Once this occurs the system is less efficient and must run longer to do the same job as when it is clean. The cumulative savings here will pay for the cleaning over a few years. Some 50% of illnesses are either caused or aggravated by polluted indoor air!
Type of procedure All Season's Heating and Cooling uses to clean air ducts.
All Season's Heating and Cooling has 15 years of duct cleaning experience in the Fox River Valley area. We use our service technicians who are highly qualified to be working on your heating or cooling equipment to best serve the needs of our customer. Upon arriving at your home our lead technician will walk through your home with you to examine all supplies and returns while explaining the process to be used in cleaning your system. The technician will then bring into your home two hoses. The first hose which is eight inches in diameter is taken to the basement and attached to the plenhum at the furnace.The second hose the diameter of a quarter which is under extremely high air pressure is then slowly fed into each supply and return. The rubber whip agitates all the dirt, dust and debri in the duct work and the vacuum hose at the plenum takes it directly to the duct cleaning trailer parked in the driveway. We do each supply and return in every room, the main supply trunk line, the main return trunk line and then sanitize all the ducts when finished.
The process takes about 5-7 hours depending the homes square footage. Source removal duct cleaning is considered the best method for relieving indoor air quality problems and is the only method endorsed by the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA). We use high velocity compressed air along with a high volume vacuum system to dislodge contaminates and pull them from your home. We use specially designed air whips and air sweeps designed to ensure proper removal of contaminates. After the cleaning an EPA approved sanitizer is fogged through the system. This sanitizer will kill mold, bacteria and fungus. To help ensure a clean, healthy environment, we recommend that air ducts be cleaned every 5 to 7 years.
