Imagine 40 pounds of dust circulating throughout your home in a single year. That is exactly what the EPA estimates occurs in the average household. They also found that much of this dust settles within air ducts and HVAC systems as a whole. This means that every time your home heats or cools itself, a tremendous amount of dust may be spread. The harm is two-fold, though, as your HVAC system can be damaged by large amounts of dirt, dust, and debris. At ProTech Restoration, we provide comprehensive air duct cleaning services in Evanston, IL to eliminate these problems for you.
The Results of a Dirty HVAC System
Now that you have a better understanding of the sheer amount of debris you and your family is up against, it is important to look at the potential consequences:
- As dust and pollen build up in your vents, you and your loved ones will be exposed to higher levels of allergens
- Your HVAC system will run less efficiently, which results in costlier electric bills
- Depending on the severity of the problem, your home may be at a greater risk of suffering from a fire
Signs That Your Air Ducts Need to Be Cleaned
While it is generally recommended to get your air ducts cleaned at least once every 1-3 years (depending on your family size, number of pets, recent renovation projects, and similar factors), it might not always be easy to know when exactly a good time is. If you notice any of the following signs, it may be time:
- Increased levels of dust in the home
- Odors emanating from your vents and HVAC system
- Black marks around your vents
- The buildup of dust and debris in your vents
- Worsening allergies while at home

"Had a great experience working with Marshall when we had an emergency leak at my mom’s house. He immediately started working to salvage what we could. I felt like he absolutely understood the urgency, and treated my mom like his own! He and the rest of the team were super easy to work with and answered our (many) questions along the way. They were very transparent about the process which was extremely helpful as this was our first time with this kind of issue in 30+ years of owning the house. We so appreciate ProTech for aiding us during our time of need."

"My experience with ProTech was wonderful from the first visit thru the last. Ben did a great job of evaluating the work that needed to be done and explaining everything to me. Frank and Sergio were great to work with because they were pleasant AND they were so very careful about everything they did. All in all, I give the ProTech team an A+!"
Review by Kelsey Swyter
"I had a pipe burst and subsequent leakage into my basement. At first I thought that we maybe stopped it in time since we could not see obvious damage but Marshall at ProTech said it would be a good idea to check it out anyway and came out within a couple of days. I’m so glad he did since there was more damage than we anticipated. Marshall explained the damage thoroughly using his imaging techniques and provided a quote within the day. Pricing was good and our insurance accepted the proposal immediately. The ProTech team was able to do the water damage mitigation about a week after the incident and on a Saturday no less. Everything was done super quickly and professionally. While I do not want to deal with any more water damage, the repairs using ProTech were painless. I would recommend this company and especially Marshall to anyone in the same situation."
