Air Quality
Duct Cleaning in Indianapolis
Years of dust, allergens, pet dander, and debris accumulate in your ductwork, circulating through your home every time your HVAC system runs. HomeSense provides professional duct cleaning that removes contaminants from your entire duct system, improving indoor air quality and system efficiency. We’ll clean supply and return ducts thoroughly, leaving your home’s air delivery system fresh and your family breathing easier.
Kindness you can count on
Complete duct cleaning solutions
Whole-Home Duct Cleaning
We clean all accessible supply and return ducts using professional-grade equipment including powerful vacuums and rotary brushes. Our process removes years of accumulated dust, allergens, and debris without damaging ductwork.
Register & Grille Cleaning
We remove, clean, and sanitize all registers and return grilles throughout your home. These components accumulate significant dust and are often overlooked but essential for complete air quality improvement.
HVAC Component Cleaning
Duct cleaning includes cleaning accessible components like blower compartments and coil surfaces that affect air quality. We ensure the entire air delivery path is clean, not just the ducts themselves.
Post-Cleaning Inspection & Sealing
After cleaning, we inspect ductwork for leaks, disconnected sections, or damage. We can seal ducts to prevent future contamination from attics, crawlspaces, and other unconditioned areas.

People remember more than a fix. They remember how they felt in the moment.
Homesense has always been professional, courteous and informative during all visits – whether they be maintenance or issue-related. I typically have Darren as my tech and he is so patient with all my questions and always makes sure I understand the problem before giving options to resolve it. I have never felt pressured to do any “fix” and I always feel they truly are invested in my best interest.
We have been customers of Homesense for the last 3 years and have been consistently pleased with their service, communication, product line and support, and maintenance plans. The best part of Homesense are the people who work for the company. The technicians are approachable, knowledgeable, and very welcome in our home. I highly recommend Homesense for your heating and cooling needs.
“As new homeowners, we had our first experience needing to find an AC repair company in our area. After searching and reading reviews, we chose Homesense, and we were very happy with our choice! They sent someone out very quickly, and our tech called & texted to let us know when he was on his way. He diagnosed our problem and talked through all of our options in detail and gave us estimated costs of each. He was so helpful, honest, and friendly. We even got a follow-up call from a senior tech to make sure we were set and didn’t need anything further. Homesense will definitely be our go-to HVAC servicer going forward.”
I was very satisfied with the work performed by the Homesense technicians. They were very courteous from the outset, and explained in detail the work they were going to be doing. They appeared to do very thorough work, and upon completion left our home clean and tidy, in the same condition as when they arrived.
Blown away by this company! They were helpful and friendly from our initial inquiry to our speedy install of new HVAC/Furnace. Brady made sure to go through all of our options with us and made sure we were getting the best system for our house without breaking the bank. Our install crew, headed by Andy, were thorough, very knowledgeable, and kind. I would recommend Homesense to anyone!!
“Homesense is my “go-to” HVAC company for our home. They are very friendly and professional—with every touch point—from calling the office to schedule service, to communication before arrival, and the technician, Darren, was outstanding! He was knowledgeable and very detailed in his assessment of both the AC and furnace. He showed me the data readings from the AC unit, stated what was necessary (without upselling), showed me the pricing, and let me make a no-pressure decision based on the circumstances. I highly recommend Homesense for all your HVAC needs and you’ll be supporting a local business! Win-win!”
Everyone has been a joy to work with. From the scheduling to the actual service appt, we were treated kindly and helpful. Our technician was friendly, thorough, and knowledgeable! He explained everything very clearly and I would highly recommend.
As a first time homeowner with an unexpected HVAC issue right after close, we’re so happy we went with Homesense. I had a lot of questions and they were patient, understanding, and so clearly had our best interests in mind long term. The process was easy and we got so much good guidance and care. Would 100% use Homesense again. Special thanks to Darren, Chuck, and Brady for giving us peace of mind!
“I cannot express the gratitude we have for Homesense. They were extremely responsive in getting to our home ASAP and the knowledge they have is second to none. Above all was the service they provided. I was in complete trust with them through the whole process of installing a new AC unit. They explained all options and I felt that they were not trying to selling me anything that was not essential. I would recommend choosing Homesense every time!”
This is an awesome team that I absolutely recommend! They don’t just offer cookie-cutter solutions, but actually care and offer what works best for your home and budget. Fantastic service from start to finish. Will definitely be a return customer!
We have used Homesense for a few years and there have been the best company we have used. Friendly, competitive, timely, excellent techs that are very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
“I’ve used HomeSense at my last two houses. They are great to work with, their techs are experienced and just overall great people. I never feel like I’m being taken advantage of by recommending unneeded services and when a problem does arise they explain the problem, offer multiple options, and help me understand the pros / cons of not moving forward. I would recommend them to my family and friends in a heartbeat. Special shout out to Darren who’s always so friendly and a true professional. I look forward to his tech gadgets every time he stops by.”
Loyal customer of Homesense for 5 years now – their service is excellent and honest, through and through!
We had a great experience working with HomeSense! From the evaluation and quoting to final install, HomeSense made the process as smooth as possible. We would recommend them to anyone.
“Homesense is the best company I’ve ever dealt with. I first came in contact with them when the a/c unit went out in our house a few months after moving in. I called several places for an estimate- one company wanted $100 to secure an appointment, another said they’d come out in three weeks. Homesense came the next day at no charge. They recommended a new unit, but more importantly, they showed me what was was wrong with my old unit and gave me several options. I never felt like I was being sold- just informed.
Homesense came right away to check on my furnace issues. They were kind, respectful and polite. And the issue was fixed right away! I would definitely recommend them to anyone!
Excellent last minute service provided by Homesense. Their technician even took the time to show me some things with my “nest” thermostat I was struggling to figure out. He spent over 15 minutes sharing some things with me . Highly recommend Homesense!
“I’ve been a homeowner for 41 years and have never received a written report detailing the results of the annual maintenance visit. In the past I’ve often wonder if it was worth the cost. Did they really do anything or is this just their way of staying visible to the customer so that they will call them if they ever need repairs or a new system? Homesense gave me a written report detailing exactly what was done and how well my new system is performing – which they installed a year ago March at a great price. I can save this report and use it to track how well the system is performing over time – a great idea! Their annual maintenance contract is also priced right. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend these guys to anybody.”
Homesense is a great company with great people! We really appreciate how the technicians explain things and are very honest.
I have been using Homesense since 2015 when they installed my system. The techs are kind, clean and considerate. I trust this company to be fair and honest about my needs.
“I’ve had a great experience with Home Sense as a new customer! Everyone is very friendly, professional, and has a positive attitude. Brandon did a wonderful job of checking my HVAC system today. The best part is their philosophy to fix rather than jumping to replace. While my system didn’t require any repairs it was nice not to be pressured with upselling techniques. Honesty is the best policy and you can tell their employees embrace that attitude!”
When the heat failed on the first snow of the year, HomeSense [B&W] came out the same day and got everything fixed. Their work has been consistently high quality across multiple visits. Great to have a reliable company you can count on in a pinch.
Excellent and timely repair and service on my HVAC system!
I had a great experience with Blake today. Communication and scheduling was excellent!
Plumber Dave with B&W has been my go-to for years — always on time, knowledgeable, and quick to diagnose any issue. He fixes problems properly, and his pricing is fair and transparent. Couldn’t recommend him more highly.
Checked & repaired my hot water heater. Mitchell was on time, analyzed the problem & fixed it in a timely fashion. Price was competitive
Friendly, knowledgeable, and offers great solutions…Excellent experience and highly recommend!
Michael diagnosed a continuously running sump pump, clearly explained the issue, and completed the repairs efficiently. He was especially thoughtful — taking photos throughout and leaving the basement exactly as he found it. Very satisfied with the care and professionalism he brought to the job.
Determined a solution and worked diligently to keep my basement from flooding…I will use them again and recommend to friends.
When our heater went bad, Homesense showed up on time and fixed the issue right away!
HomeSense installed a new furnace and AC a year ago and did a great job — and Maxwell’s recent annual maintenance visit was equally impressive. He was professional, thorough, and took time to explain everything he was doing. It’s a relief to finally have a home service company I can fully trust.
Dontril & his associate were in and out quickly. They arrived less than one hour after I called for an appointment in heavy volume season…Problem solved!
I was able to get a same-day appointment. Service was prompt and swift. The technician, Mitchell, was pleasant and polite. Price was reasonable…very pleased!
Bruce from B&W came to the rescue when power went out during very cold weather, restoring it quickly and with a friendly attitude. The entire B&W staff was helpful and reassuring during a stressful situation. Grateful for a team that genuinely takes care of their customers.
Been using Homesense for a couple of years, and the service is amazing. I am on the yearly membership for HVAC, Plumbing and Electrical and they are very good at what they do.
Service call to check heating system….Andy was very professional and friendly ….Good service
Blake arrived on time with the repair parts already in hand, diagnosed the issue quickly, and had the furnace running in under an hour. He was professional and personable throughout. The service manager was equally great — responsive and efficient in getting a tech out quickly.
Mitchell did a wonderful job…He went above and beyond to do a complete and professional job. He took care of a sewer smell that other plumbers were not able to resolve.
Emergency call-out on the coldest spell of the year. Prompt, professional, courteous, & friendly! No complaining, just great work!
B&W Electrical has impressed us across multiple visits, with Bruce Carpenter standing out every time. He’s polite, walks you through all options before starting, and consistently delivers great results. Highly recommend both Bruce and B&W for any electrical project.
Fast, fair and efficiently solved the issue with our sink. We will definitely use them again.
Company with expertise and integrity
Michael and Alec tackled two leaks and a completely blocked drain caused by a painter using the sink as a ladder — a tricky job in an 80-year-old home. Michael’s skill prevented what could have been a much worse situation, expertly cutting the pipe and accessing it through the cabinet and wall. Thorough, friendly, and reasonably priced — highly recommended.
Andy is the best man. Fast efficient and knowledgeable.
Blake was amazing and helped me get my heat back on!
We had a great experience working with Bruce at B&W/HomeSense. Extremely nice, professional, and polite…handles issues quickly and efficiently. The entire process was smooth, and we felt well taken care of from start to finish.
Homesense did a very good job in fixing the HVAC system, and I am completely satisfied with the job done by the technician.
Blake Rogers got our heat back up and running in no time
If you want electrical work done right and with good energy (pun fully intended), HomeSense is the call. Last week, Bruce handled our chandelier installation, and it was a masterclass in professionalism—steady hands, sharp eye, zero drama. The chandelier is flawless, and so was the experience.
This is consistent with every interaction we’ve had with B&W. Their team shows up on time (actual on time, not “electrician time”), treats both our home and office with genuine respect, and somehow manages to be efficient and kind—a rare and wonderful combo. Communication is prompt, expectations are clear, and the results speak for themselves.
In a world where reliable service feels like a luxury, B&W delivers it as standard practice. Stellar work, lovely people, and a company you’re genuinely happy to recommend. If Nathan Davis is running the ship, it’s no wonder everything runs so smoothly!
Blake did an awesome job fixing our furnace and saving us from a cold weekend!
Great service. Every year, we have Darren come out and do our annual A/C service. He is very professional, friendly, and explains what he is doing and why…always takes time to answer any questions we may have.
Dontril is the man! Been with B&W Plumbing for 25+ yrs and Dontril has been taking care of us for 20 of those years. Professional, knowledgable, detailed and great explanations. My first and only call! He is reliable, knowledgeable and I trust his advice!
We have used Homesense for over 10 years…We have always had a great experience. Dave is very professional, knowledgeable, and reliable
It’s important to do our annual check-up…Blake Rogers from HomeSense did a fantastic job!
Have used B&W (formerly HomeSense) for HVAC service for years and have always been very satisfied, and recently had to have a weekend service for a heater that quit. Max was efficient, friendly, knowledgeable, and communicated very well. We were very fortunate to have had a service technician who knew how to fix the problem and handle getting parts on the weekend.
Same-day service, easy to book an appointment online, and a friendly technician who immediately identified the problem. Reasonable price…Would definitely hire Homesense again.
Max was very thorough and professional. He did a great job explaining all the options and was easy to work with…would highly recommend!
Today we had a service visit from HomeSense and I can’t say enough great things about them – communication was wonderful and the technician was one of the best that I’ve ever had with any home service – respectful, helpful, willing to answer my questions, and more… Highly recommend. Thanks HomeSense.
As usual, the guys were great! kept us informed, offered options, and answered all of our questions.
Team is knowledgeable and comprehensive. Resolved my sump pump issue with a smooth process and no pushy marketing. Thank you.

What Does Air Duct Cleaning Involve?
Duct cleaning in Indianapolis means removing accumulated dust, debris, pet dander, mold spores, and other contaminants from the ductwork that carries conditioned air throughout your home. It’s not just a quick vacuum of the visible vent covers. A thorough job covers supply ducts, return ducts, registers, grilles, and components at the air handler itself.
Our technicians use industrial-grade vacuum equipment and rotary brushes to dislodge and extract buildup from the interior duct surfaces. The whole system gets cleaned together, because addressing only part of the ductwork can push contaminants back into the areas that were just cleaned. Before any work begins, we do a walk-through so you know exactly what’s being addressed and what to expect.
We treat your home with the same care we’d want shown in ours: shoe covers on, clean exit, no surprises.
How Do I Know if My Home’s Air Ducts Need Cleaning?
A few clear signs: dust or debris visibly blowing from vents when the system kicks on, musty or stale odors while the HVAC runs, noticeably more dust settling on surfaces than usual, or a past pest issue inside the ductwork. Any of those warrants a closer look.
Indianapolis homes that have recently been renovated, experienced water damage, or welcomed a new pet tend to have more buildup than average. Homes with occupants who have allergies or respiratory sensitivities are also strong candidates for a cleaning sooner than the standard schedule.
If you’ve lived in your home for several years and the ducts have never been cleaned, a professional inspection is a good place to start. We can tell you what’s actually in there so you can make a clear-headed decision — not one driven by a sales pitch.
How Often Should Air Ducts Be Cleaned in Indianapolis Homes?
How often air ducts should be cleaned depends on your household, but the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends cleaning every three to five years for most homes.
A few factors push that timeline earlier. Homes with pets, allergy sufferers, young children, or anyone with asthma or a respiratory condition may benefit from more frequent cleanings. Other situations that warrant earlier service: moving into a previously owned home, completing a major renovation, finding mold in or near the HVAC system, or noticing a significant jump in household dust.
Annual cleaning isn’t necessary for the average Indianapolis home — that’s more frequent than most systems require. The goal is routine maintenance on a sensible schedule, not cleaning you don’t need.
How Much Does Air Duct Cleaning Cost in Indianapolis?
The air duct cleaning cost in Indianapolis runs between $300 and $500 for most homes, with final pricing shaped by the home’s square footage, number of vents, and duct configuration. Sitting toward the higher end of that range is duct cleaning for larger homes, homes with multiple HVAC zones, or systems using flexible ductwork that requires specialized equipment.
If you see an advertisement offering a fixed whole-house rate of $99 or under, proceed with caution. This is a well-documented tactic in the Indianapolis HVAC duct cleaning market: the low price gets a technician in the door, and the upsells follow once they arrive. We provide honest, upfront estimates based on your home’s specifics before any work begins.
Can Dirty Air Ducts Affect Indoor Air Quality in My Home?
Yes, and it’s worth understanding why. Over time, ductwork accumulates dust, pet dander, mold spores, and other airborne particles that recirculate through the home every time the HVAC system runs. In Central Indiana, where homes run heating and cooling for a significant portion of the year, air cycles through the ducts repeatedly, carrying whatever has built up inside them.
Improved indoor air quality in Indianapolis homes is often the direct result of cleaner ductwork. Families with young children, older adults, or anyone managing asthma, seasonal allergies, or other respiratory sensitivities tend to notice the difference most. That said, duct cleaning won’t eliminate allergens on its own. Carpets, bedding, and outdoor pollen all play a role. Think of it as removing one meaningful source of indoor contaminants, not a cure-all.
Is Professional Air Duct Cleaning Worth It?
For most Indianapolis homes, yes, particularly when the system hasn’t been cleaned in several years, there’s visible buildup, or family members are experiencing worsening allergy or respiratory symptoms indoors.
Clean ductwork helps your HVAC system move air more efficiently, which can reduce energy consumption and extend equipment life. It also removes accumulated allergens, odors, and debris that otherwise keep recirculating through the home. That’s a real, practical benefit, not a marketing promise.
Duct cleaning is best understood as routine home maintenance, similar to a furnace tune-up: not an emergency fix, but a sensible part of keeping your home running well and your family comfortable. We’ll tell you honestly whether your system looks like it needs it before we ever start the work.
What Should I Look for in an Indianapolis Duct Cleaning Company?
A few things matter here. Look for certified technicians, transparent pricing, and a clear explanation of exactly what the service includes before anyone starts work. NADCA membership is a useful benchmark. It indicates that the company follows established industry standards for HVAC system cleaning.
Ask specifically whether the cleaning covers the full system: supply ducts, return ducts, registers, and air handler components. If a company only cleans the accessible vent covers, the rest of the system stays dirty and can re-contaminate what was just cleaned.
Flat-rate pricing below $100 for a whole house is a red flag in this industry, not a deal. A trustworthy company will quote based on your home’s specifics, answer your questions directly, and never pressure you into services you didn’t ask about. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to.
How Long Does a Professional Duct Cleaning Appointment Take?
For a typical Indianapolis home, expect a two-person appointment to take between two and four hours from start to finish. Larger homes, homes with pets, or systems with more complex ductwork configurations can run longer.
We start every appointment with a walk-through inspection so you know exactly what’s being cleaned and what the process looks like before any equipment comes out. Throughout the job, we work carefully and cleanly. Our technicians treat your home with the same respect they’d want their home to be given. When we’re done, we’ll walk you through what was found and leave things as tidy as we arrived.
