When your air ducts are professionally cleaned, you’re not just removing dust. You’re eliminating the allergens that trigger asthma attacks and make family members miserable during allergy season. You’re getting rid of the pet dander, cooking odors, and household chemicals that have been trapped and recirculated through your home 5 to 7 times every day.
Clean ducts mean your HVAC system doesn’t have to fight through layers of buildup to move air. Your energy bills drop because your system runs efficiently instead of working overtime. You’ll notice fewer dust bunnies on furniture, cleaner air that doesn’t smell stale, and family members who aren’t constantly sneezing or dealing with respiratory irritation.
The difference is immediate and measurable. Your home feels fresher, your system runs quieter, and you stop wondering why certain rooms are always too hot or too cold.
Elite Commercial Cleaning Services has been serving Prince’s Lakes and the greater Indianapolis area with professional air duct cleaning that actually works. We understand Indiana’s unique air quality challenges – from seasonal pollen that clogs systems in spring to the humidity that creates perfect conditions for mold growth in summer.
Our technicians use professional-grade equipment and follow industry standards, not the shortcuts you’ll see from companies advertising unrealistic $79 specials. We’re not the crew that shows up, hooks up a vacuum for 20 minutes, and calls it done.
Prince’s Lakes homeowners choose us because we take the time to clean every vent, every return, and every section of ductwork properly. We show you what we’ve removed and explain what we’ve done, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
First, we inspect your entire HVAC system to identify problem areas and assess the level of contamination. We don’t guess or give you a standard pitch – we show you exactly what’s happening in your ducts and what needs attention.
Next, we use powerful HEPA-filtered vacuums and specialized brushes to remove contaminants from every accessible part of your system. This includes supply ducts, return air ducts, registers, grilles, and the air handling unit. We clean the components that other companies skip because they take more time and proper equipment.
Finally, we verify our work and show you the results. You’ll see before and after photos, and we’ll walk you through what we’ve accomplished. We also check for any duct leaks or issues that could affect your system’s efficiency going forward.
The entire process typically takes 3-5 hours depending on your home’s size and system complexity. We protect your home with drop cloths and work carefully to avoid any mess or damage.

Our comprehensive air duct cleaning service covers every component of your HVAC system. We clean supply and return air ducts, registers, grilles, diffusers, heat exchangers, cooling coils, condensate drain pans, fan motor and housing, and the air handling unit itself.
In Prince’s Lakes, we see specific issues that come with Indiana’s climate. Spring pollen gets pulled into systems and creates thick buildup that reduces airflow. Summer humidity can lead to mold growth in ductwork, especially in older homes. Winter heating cycles bake contaminants onto duct surfaces, making them harder to remove without proper equipment.
We also include dryer vent cleaning services because lint buildup in dryer vents creates serious fire hazards and makes your dryer work inefficiently. Many Prince’s Lakes homeowners don’t realize their dryer vent connects to the same system that needs regular maintenance.
Every service includes a detailed inspection, professional cleaning with commercial equipment, and a post-service evaluation to ensure everything is working properly. We don’t use chemical biocides or sealants unless specifically requested and appropriate for your situation.
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association recommends professional cleaning every 3-5 years for most homes. However, Indiana’s seasonal conditions often require more frequent attention. If you have pets, family members with allergies or asthma, or you’ve noticed increased dust despite regular cleaning, you may need service every 2-3 years.
You should also schedule cleaning if you notice musty odors coming from vents, visible mold growth around registers, or if your energy bills have increased without explanation. New construction or recent renovations also warrant immediate duct cleaning to remove construction debris and drywall dust.
Signs you need cleaning now include uneven heating or cooling in different rooms, excessive dust on furniture shortly after cleaning, or family members experiencing unexplained respiratory symptoms that improve when they leave the house.
Companies advertising $79 whole-house specials typically use bait-and-switch tactics or provide inadequate service. They’ll either pressure you into expensive add-ons once they arrive, or they’ll spend 20 minutes hooking up a vacuum and call it finished without actually cleaning your ductwork.
Professional duct cleaning involves accessing each individual vent and cleaning the entire length of ductwork, not just the areas near registers. We use specialized brushes, powerful truck-mounted HEPA vacuums, and compressed air tools to dislodge and remove contaminants throughout the system.
The difference shows in results. Proper cleaning removes pounds of debris and significantly improves airflow and air quality. Quick, cheap cleaning might remove surface dust but leaves the majority of contamination untouched. You’ll know the difference immediately in air quality, system performance, and how long the results last.
Yes, when done properly by certified professionals. Your HVAC system recirculates air 5-7 times per day, so contaminants in your ductwork get distributed throughout your home constantly. Professional cleaning removes dust, allergens, pet dander, pollen, and other pollutants that have accumulated over years of operation.
Many customers notice immediate improvements in air freshness and reduction in dust accumulation on furniture. Family members with allergies or asthma often experience fewer symptoms after professional cleaning, especially during high-pollen seasons common in Indiana’s spring and fall months.
However, duct cleaning isn’t a cure-all for indoor air quality issues. If you have ongoing problems with mold, poor ventilation, or other IAQ concerns, we’ll identify those issues during our inspection and recommend appropriate solutions beyond just duct cleaning.
Professional air duct cleaning typically ranges from $450-$1000 depending on your home’s size, system complexity, and level of contamination. Homes up to 2,500 square feet generally fall on the lower end, while larger homes with multiple HVAC systems cost more.
We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees or surprise charges. Our estimates include cleaning all accessible ductwork, registers, and key system components. Additional services like dryer vent cleaning or antimicrobial treatment are optional and clearly priced separately before any work begins.
Be cautious of companies offering significantly lower prices, as they often use bait-and-switch tactics or provide inadequate service that doesn’t actually clean your ducts. Quality equipment, proper training, and thorough cleaning take time and expertise, which is reflected in fair, professional pricing.
DIY duct cleaning is not recommended and can actually make air quality problems worse. Standard household vacuums don’t have the power to remove embedded debris, and you can’t access most of your ductwork without specialized equipment and training. Attempting DIY cleaning often just redistributes contaminants throughout your home.
Professional duct cleaning requires powerful truck-mounted or portable vacuums, specialized brushes, compressed air tools, and knowledge of HVAC systems. Professionals also know how to avoid damaging delicate components and can identify problems like duct leaks, mold growth, or system inefficiencies that need attention.
More importantly, improper cleaning can release more contaminants into your home’s air than leaving the ducts alone. Professional technicians use containment methods and HEPA filtration to prevent this problem while ensuring thorough, safe cleaning that actually improves your indoor air quality.
The process typically takes 3-5 hours depending on your home’s size and system complexity. We start with a thorough inspection of your HVAC system and ductwork, explaining what we find and what needs attention before beginning any work.
During cleaning, you’ll hear our equipment running and may notice some vibration as we work on different sections of ductwork. We use drop cloths and take precautions to protect your home, but there will be some activity throughout your house as we access different vents and returns.
We’ll show you before and after photos of key areas and explain what we’ve removed from your system, including any debris or buildup that was affecting your air quality. After completion, you should notice improved airflow from vents, fresher air quality, and potentially quieter HVAC operation. Most customers notice the difference immediately and report better sleep that first night.
