"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

A common HVAC rule is that for every 500 to 600 square feet of living space, you need 1 ton of heating or cooling capacity. Now that you know this common rule, you also need to know that it isn’t very accurate, and a dedicated pro wouldn’t use it for your home. If you talk to a pro who won’t or can’t perform a proper Manual J calculation, consider hiring someone more thorough.

On average, an AC unit lasts between 10 and 20 years. However, the specific lifespan depends on the type of unit, how often it's used, the local climate, and the quality of maintenance. Central AC units typically last 12 to 17 years, while window units have a shorter lifespan of 8 to 10 years. Portable AC units last about 5 to 10 years, and ductless mini-split systems can last up to 20 years. To extend the life of your AC unit, it's important to perform regular maintenance, such as replacing filters, cleaning coils, and scheduling annual professional tune-ups.

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.

Window AC units use a fair amount of electricity, but significantly less than central AC systems. Because they are more energy-efficient for cooling individual rooms or small spaces, their usage is comparatively low. On average, a window AC unit consumes between 500 and 1,400 watts, while a central AC system uses over 3,500 watts—meaning a window unit uses about one-third of the energy. This typically translates to a monthly running cost of $15 to $40, although this can vary depending on external factors.

Yes. Your air supply should be balanced. The return and supply ducts need to maintain that balance, and this only occurs because an equal amount of air should be entering and leaving your HVAC system. Changes in pressure, extreme weather, and blocking vents with furniture or your stuff can make the air supply unbalanced and cause your home to get too cold or hot.
