You’ll notice the difference within days. Less dust settling on your furniture. Fewer allergy flare-ups when the heat kicks on. Your HVAC system running quieter because it’s not fighting through years of buildup.
Clean air ducts mean your system moves air the way it was designed to. That cuts your energy costs because your furnace and AC aren’t working overtime to push through clogged vents. For most New Britton homes built in the ’70s and ’80s, that efficiency gain is real money back in your pocket every month.
You also get peace of mind. No more wondering if that musty smell is mold growing in the ductwork. No more worrying about what your kids are breathing while they sleep. Just cleaner air moving through a system that’s been properly inspected, cleaned, and documented.
Elite Clean Restoration is IICRC-certified and BBB-accredited with an A+ rating. We’re not a “$99 special” crew that shows up in an unmarked van. We’re a full-service restoration company that treats air duct cleaning the same way we treat water damage or mold remediation—with documentation, containment, and real accountability.
We’ve been serving New Britton and Central Indiana since 2016. Most of our work comes from insurance claims, which means we’re used to detailed reporting, tight timelines, and high standards. That same process applies whether your insurance is involved or not.
You’ll get a live person when you call. A 60-90 minute response time if it’s urgent. And a team that wears shoe covers, uses HEPA filtration, and cleans up after the job like we were never there.
We start with a walkthrough. You show us your system, we inspect your vents and returns, and we explain what we’re seeing. If there’s visible mold, heavy contamination, or damage, we’ll tell you upfront.
Next, we set up containment to protect the rest of your home. We use HEPA-filtered negative air machines to keep dust and debris from spreading into living areas. Then we access your ductwork and use professional-grade vacuums and rotary brushes to remove buildup from every section of the system.
The process takes 3-5 hours for most homes. We’re not rushing through in 45 minutes like the scam companies do. We document the work with photos, clean your registers and grilles, and walk you through what we found before we leave. If you want your dryer vent cleaned at the same time, we can handle that too—it’s a common add-on that makes sense while we’re already there.

You’re getting a full-system cleaning. That means supply ducts, return ducts, registers, grilles, and the main trunk lines. We also clean the blower motor, evaporator coil (if accessible), and air handler components that collect dust and restrict airflow.
In New Britton, where homes average 40+ years old, we often find decades of pet dander, insulation fibers, construction debris, and even dead rodents in ductwork. If your home was built in the ’70s or ’80s and the ducts have never been cleaned, you’re likely dealing with serious contamination. That’s especially true if you’ve had any water damage, roof leaks, or basement moisture issues over the years.
We also offer dryer vent cleaning as part of our indoor air quality services. Clogged dryer vents are a fire hazard and an energy drain. Most homeowners don’t realize their dryer is venting into the crawl space or that the vent line is completely packed with lint. We clear it, inspect it, and make sure it’s venting properly to the outside.
Most homes need air duct cleaning every 3-5 years. That’s the standard recommendation from NADCA, the national trade association for duct cleaners. But your home might need it sooner depending on a few factors.
If you have pets, you’re dealing with more dander and hair in the system. If someone in your house has allergies or asthma, clean ducts make a noticeable difference in symptom management. If you’ve had any water damage, roof leaks, or flooding, you need ducts inspected for mold growth right away.
You should also get your ducts cleaned after any major renovation. Drywall dust, sawdust, and construction debris get pulled into your HVAC system and circulate for months if you don’t clean it out. Same goes if you just bought an older home in New Britton and don’t know the maintenance history—it’s worth getting a baseline cleaning and inspection so you know what you’re working with.
Most homeowners pay between $300-500 for legitimate air duct cleaning, depending on the size of the home and the level of contamination. If you’re seeing prices under $100, that’s a bait-and-switch scam. Those companies get in the door with a low price, then hit you with add-ons and high-pressure upsells once they’re inside.
We use Xactimate pricing, which is the same software insurance companies use to estimate restoration work. That means our pricing is transparent, industry-standard, and aligned with what adjusters expect to see. You’ll know the cost upfront before we start the job.
If your ductwork has mold, animal contamination, or significant damage, the cost goes up because the scope of work changes. We’ll walk you through what we’re seeing and explain your options. If insurance is involved, we handle the documentation and work directly with your adjuster to get the claim processed correctly.
Yes, but the savings depend on how dirty your ducts actually are. If your system is clogged with dust, pet hair, and debris, your furnace and AC have to work harder to move air. That uses more energy and drives up your utility bills every month.
Clean ducts improve airflow, which means your HVAC system runs more efficiently. You’re not forcing air through a layer of buildup. Your system reaches temperature faster and cycles less often. For older homes in New Britton with original ductwork from the ’70s or ’80s, the efficiency gain can be significant.
That said, duct cleaning isn’t a magic fix for high energy bills. If your ducts are leaking, your insulation is poor, or your HVAC system is outdated, those issues matter more than dust buildup. But if your ducts are legitimately dirty and restricting airflow, cleaning them is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve system performance and indoor air quality at the same time.
There are a few clear signs. If you see dust blowing out of your vents when the system kicks on, that’s a problem. If there’s a musty or stale smell when the heat or AC runs, that’s often mold or mildew growing in the ductwork. If you’re dusting your home constantly and it still looks dirty two days later, your ducts are likely recirculating contamination.
You can also pull off a floor register and look inside with a flashlight. If you see visible dust, debris, or discoloration on the duct walls, it’s time for a cleaning. If you see any signs of moisture, water stains, or fuzzy growth, you need a professional inspection right away because that’s likely mold.
Another indicator is if you’ve never had your ducts cleaned and your home is more than 10 years old. Most New Britton homes were built decades ago, and if the ductwork has never been serviced, you’re overdue. Same goes if you’ve had any flooding, roof leaks, or HVAC system failures that introduced moisture into the ducts.
A real air duct cleaning takes 3-5 hours and involves accessing your entire duct system with professional equipment. A scam takes 30-60 minutes and involves a guy with a shop vac hitting a few visible vents. Real companies are NADCA-certified or IICRC-certified. Scam companies have no credentials and no insurance.
Real companies give you a clear price upfront based on your home’s size and system layout. Scam companies advertise “$99 whole house cleaning,” then add hundreds or thousands in fees once they’re inside. They’ll claim you have mold, damaged ducts, or code violations that require immediate (and expensive) fixes.
A legitimate air duct cleaning includes containment, HEPA filtration, documentation, and a post-job walkthrough. You’ll see before-and-after photos of your ductwork. You’ll get an invoice that matches the original estimate. And you’ll have a company you can call back if there’s any issue. Scam companies disappear the moment they cash your check.
We clean both. Dryer vent cleaning is one of the most requested add-ons during air duct cleaning because it makes sense to handle both while we’re already at your home with the equipment. Clogged dryer vents are a serious fire hazard and one of the leading causes of house fires in the U.S.
Most homeowners don’t realize how bad their dryer vent actually is until we inspect it. Lint builds up in the vent line, the exterior vent gets clogged with debris, and in some cases the vent isn’t even connected properly—it’s just blowing hot, moist air into your crawl space or attic. That creates mold problems and wastes energy because your dryer has to run twice as long to dry a load.
We clear the entire vent line from the dryer to the exterior termination point. We remove the lint buildup, check for damage or disconnections, and make sure the vent is exhausting properly to the outside. It usually takes 30-60 minutes and costs a fraction of what you’d pay if a dryer fire damaged your home.
