"Dave contacted me by phone in response to my request for a quote. He told me what the cost would be, and that is what I was charged when the job was completed. The price was very reasonable. He was professional, courteous, and showed up on time. He did a great job getting out duct work cleaned out and communicated with me at the end about what he found. I'd recommend this company and will use their services again."

"Used Angie to find a local (handyman) and within minutes was contacted by Tim. He arrived at my house within hours and was able to find the issue with a light fixture, that I could not resolve. Very satisfied with the work and Tim was great to work with. Will be recommending him to any neighbors that need help."

I am a jack of trades independent contractor/ handyman with 10+ years experience. I am not a licensed plumber, licensed electrician, or licensed roofer. With that said it's easier to just tell you the things that I don't do. I do not do drain work, I do not replace electrical lines or panel boxes, I do not replace plumbing lines which includes water and gas, and I do not replace roofs. Aside from that I can do everything else, and have the tools to do so.

"On April 30, 2025 we utilized the services of Duct Dusters, Springfield, IL to clean our ducts prior to an installation of a new HVAC system. We selected Duct Dusters because they are BBB Accredited, had a 5-Star rating, great reviews, & the owner, Jeff explained their cleaning processes in great detail. Our technicians, Max & Cody arrived on time; were friendly & professional; wore booties over their shoes; showed us before-during-after pictures of each duct; and left the premises tidy & free of debris. They deserve our 5-star rating."

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

Yes, it’s best to turn off an AC unit that’s blowing hot air to prevent system damage and avoid expensive energy bills. If you let the AC continue running, it will put more strain on the condenser coil and compressor. Plus, if the AC is blowing hot air because of a refrigerant leak, it can also lead to a frozen evaporator coil.

The cost to repair an air conditioner averages around $350 to $450, but the price can range from $100 to over $3,000. The final cost depends on the type of air conditioner, the extent of the damage, and the specific parts that need replacement. For example, repairing a window AC unit typically costs between $100 and $250, while central air conditioner repairs can range from $300 to $3,000. A simple fix like replacing a dirty filter might only cost $10 to $50, but a major issue like a broken compressor could cost around $2,000 or more, potentially making it more cost-effective to replace the entire system. Due to the need for specialty tools and handling of refrigerants, repairs more complex than changing a filter are best left to a professional.

You will enjoy greater energy efficiency and save on your annual energy bills, with new, modern HVAC systems using 30% to 50% less energy than older models. Upgrading your HVAC system is also a great way to embrace new technology, such as smart thermostats, lighting, fan speed, and humidity from your phone or tablet.

Air conditioners can stop working in the middle of the night for many reasons. Your local power grid might shut down late at night. Power surges can also trip your breakers if too much power is being used in the area at the time. If your AC is connected to a digital thermostat, it gets naturally cooler at night, so the outdoor temperature might dip below the automated setting to turn the cooling system off.

While an air conditioner can temporarily run with a dirty filter, it is not recommended as it will not work efficiently. A dirty filter forces the system to work harder to circulate cool air, leading to reduced airflow, increased wear and tear, and higher energy bills. This added strain can cause the air conditioner to overheat or fail prematurely. Furthermore, a clogged filter may allow dust and dirt to accumulate in your ductwork, negatively impacting air quality. It is more cost-effective to clean or replace filters regularly than to pay higher utility bills and risk needing to replace the entire AC unit.
