Nu-Gen Cleaning & Restoration
The HVAC system in a home or building is an important system, but it is usually ignored until something goes wrong. The heating and cooling is distributed through the air ducts and as air passes through the system, airborne debris such as dust and pollen collect within the ducts and on the component parts. This accumulation can cause the system to run less efficiently, increase the risk of malfunctions, and contribute to poor indoor air quality.
Nu-Gen Cleaning & Restoration provides air duct cleaning services in Elgin, IL to thoroughly clean out HVAC systems in homes and businesses. Our services will help lower your heating and cooling bills by improving the efficiency of the system and contribute to better indoor air quality.
How Often Should Air Duct Cleanings Be Done?
It is commonly cited that about 40 pounds of dust circulate through the typical home in a year, meaning that much of this dust passes through your HVAC system. However, many homeowners have difficulty determining whether or not they need professional air duct cleaning services. The general rule of thumb is to have professional air duct cleaning done every 2-5 years.
The following are signs that your home or building needs air duct cleaning:
- High amount of dust throughout the building

Frequently Asked Questions on Duct and Vent Cleaning
How do I know if my air ducts need to be cleaned?: The air duct system plays a vital role in the house, facilitating air circulation and distributing heating and cooling throughout the entire space. Similar to other household systems, regular cleaning and maintenance are necessary for the proper and efficient functioning of air ducts. While air ducts don’t require cleaning as frequently as some other areas of the home, it is beneficial for homeowners to recognize the signs indicating the need for professional cleaning. Here are some common indicators that it’s time to have your air ducts cleaned by a professional.
1. Mold or Mildew
2. Health and Respiratory Problems
3. Excess Dust and Debris from the Registers
4. Reduced Efficiency
Is air duct cleaning really worth the money?: Given the prevalence of scams related to air duct cleaning services, it is understandable that finding a trustworthy contractor can be a daunting task. It is natural to feel concerned about whether they will deliver satisfactory results. While some advertisements may appear promising, there could be negative reviews from disgruntled customers, further adding to the uncertainty. Therefore, it is crucial to address the question of whether air duct cleaning is truly worth the investment.
Generally, air duct cleanings will only be worth it if the ducts are full of rodent debris, mold, or large amounts of debris. Air duct cleaning can cost anywhere from $300 – $500, There are some simple system checks as well as general maintenance tasks you can implement for your HVAC system.
How to Get Water Out of Air Ducts?: Once you have confirmed that there are no leaks in the furnace and clothes dryer vents, and all other systems are functioning properly, the next recommended step is to utilize a dehumidifier in areas where condensation tends to accumulate. By running a dehumidifier, moisture is effectively extracted from the air, leading to a decrease in condensation formation inside the ducts.

I had a pipe freeze and burst at my home in the very early hours of Christmas Eve, around midnight. The water damaged my kitchen and went into my basement as well. I called Nu-Gen around 2:00am and Olga answered the phone and set up an appointment for me for the same day, between 8:30-9:30. After calling my insurance company, they said they would send out their own mitigation service so I cancelled my appointment with Nu-Gen. Well, the service that my insurance company contracted never showed up, but to my surprise Olga called me that afternoon to check on things and make sure I was okay. I was incredibly grateful for her checking on me because my insurance company failed me at that point. Later that afternoon Moises, the project manager, came out to assess the situation. They immediately set up the mitigation process and during the next couple of weeks, Moises - and his wonderful crew - Jose and Joey, were out several times to check on the progress of the drying and mitigation process. I am forever grateful for Nu-Gen's help and guidance throughout this entire process. I've recommended their services to my insurance company as well so that they could now have a reliable mitigation service to use in the area and I also expect to use Nu-Gen for the reconstruction work as well.
Jose and Leti were wonderful, a third gentleman came to assist, I didn't get his name but they worked well together to solve a tricky dryer vent issue. After spending over an hour cleaning a vent that was no longer in use from second floor( unbeknownst to all of us) we learned previous owners rerouted out the roof. Not once did they act like they were annoyed by this discovery. Very professional and very friendly. I cannot recommend them enough. Great Job Nu-Gen.
