What Illinois Homes Have in Common
Northern and southern Illinois are different climates
Illinois is split between two climate zones. In the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) climate map, compiled by county by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory for the U.S. Department of Energy, northern and central counties such as Cook, DuPage, Kane, Will, Winnebago, Peoria and Sangamon are cold zone 5A, while many southern counties, including Madison, St. Clair, Jackson and Williamson, are mixed-humid zone 4A.
NOAA's climate summary describes bitterly cold Arctic air in winter and warm, humid air from the Gulf of Mexico in summer, with Lake Michigan moderating temperatures in the northeast. Snow follows the same north-south pattern: the northeastern part of the state averages more than 40 inches a year, compared with less than 10 inches in the southernmost section.

Not every Illinois home has heating ducts
In the U.S. Energy Information Administration's 2020 Residential Energy Consumption Survey, about 76% of Illinois homes used a furnace as their main heating equipment, and about 11% (roughly one in nine) used a steam or hot-water boiler.
The difference matters for duct cleaning. A furnace uses a blower and air ducts to distribute warm air; a boiler heats water and sends hot water or steam through a series of pipes. A home heated by radiators may have no heating ducts at all, or ductwork that serves only central air.

Older, denser housing, especially in Chicago
Census Bureau survey data show that about 62% of Illinois housing units were built before 1980 and about one in five (20%) in 1939 or earlier. Chicago's housing is older still, with about 39% of units built in 1939 or earlier.
Chicago is also a city of shared buildings. Only about a quarter of its housing units are detached single-family homes; about 26% are in buildings with two to four units, and more than a quarter are in buildings with 20 or more units. In buildings like these, ducts, dryer vents and roof access may involve a condo association or building manager as well as the resident.

FAQ
Illinois Questions
- Illinois guide
Radiators, Central Air or Forced Air? Does Your Illinois Home Have Ducts?
Not every Illinois home has heating ducts. About 76% of Illinois homes heat mainly with a furnace, which moves air through ducts, but about 11% use a steam or hot-water boiler that sends heat through pipes to radiators or baseboards. Before booking duct cleaning, find out which system you have, whether central air adds separate ductwork, and, in condos and multi-unit buildings, who is responsible for shared parts.

How can I check whether my Illinois address is covered?
Enter your ZIP code in the estimate form. Availability is confirmed address by address before anything is scheduled, and this page isn't a promise that every Illinois community is covered.
What changes the estimate for an Illinois home?
Whether the home has ductwork at all, how many systems and registers it has, the type of building (house, two-flat, condo or apartment), how the ducts and dryer vent can be reached, and where the vent exits. Multi-unit buildings may also need management approval for access. Prices depend on these details, so we don't list them here.
How long will the work take?
It varies with the home and the job: the number of systems and registers, access, the dryer vent route, and whether you book one service or both. We'll share a time estimate once we know those details.
I just bought an older home. Should I have the ducts cleaned?
Not automatically. EPA recommends cleaning only as needed, such as when ducts are clogged with excessive dust and debris or particles are released into the home, when there's evidence of vermin, or when there's substantial visible mold inside sheet-metal ducts. Having the ducts looked at after a move is reasonable; the decision to clean should follow what's actually found.

Is Illinois Air Duct Pros a local branch?
No. It's the name USA Air Duct Pros uses for its Illinois pages, not a separate company, office or branch.
