For seven decades, Bennett Furnace has been Central Illinois' most trusted duct cleaning company, serving thousands of families from Peoria to Champaign with honest work and old-school integrity. While other companies rely on gimmicks, contracts, and high-pressure sales tactics, we've built our reputation the old-fashioned way, one satisfied customer at a time.
Family-Owned Since 1956
Since 1956 — over 70 years. We started as a family-run furnace cleaning business in Peoria County and have served Central Illinois ever since, still operating from East Peoria today.
Yes. We're family-owned and operated across multiple generations. Dave, the owner, has personally run jobs for 35 years and still oversees the work we do every day.
Seven decades of experience means we've cleaned nearly every type of duct system found in Central Illinois homes — from old octopus ductwork in Peoria bungalows to modern builds in Champaign. That history translates into honest assessments and fewer surprises on your job.
We moved to truck-mounted vacuums in the 1970s and 1980s because they remove debris from the home instead of collecting it inside. Our current truck-mounted systems pull far more air than the portable units most crews bring inside.
Our Service Areas
Based at 19801 Eisele Rd, East Peoria, IL 61611, we provide reliable air duct and furnace cleaning services to homeowners and businesses throughout Central Illinois and surrounding communities.
Our Customer Reviews




Duct Cleaning FAQ
Yes. Estimates are always free. Call (309) 472-5036 and we'll talk through the specs of your system with you — the number of vents, the type of furnace, and anything you've noticed — then give you an honest price up front. No pressure, no contracts, and no surprise charges when the crew arrives.
Call (309) 472-5036 or send a request through our contact form. Our own crews cover Central Illinois, so we can usually get you on the schedule quickly — including evenings and weekends at no extra charge.
Yes, someone 18 or older should be home so we can access the furnace, every supply and return vent, and the dryer vent. Most residential jobs take 2–4 hours. We lay clean runners and wear boot covers to protect your floors.
Most Central Illinois homes should have their air ducts professionally cleaned every 3–5 years. You may need cleaning sooner if you have multiple pets, someone smokes indoors, family members have allergies that worsen at home, or you've recently completed home renovations. Homes in our Peoria, Bloomington, and Champaign service areas often need more frequent cleaning due to farm dust and seasonal allergens.
Quality air duct cleaning typically costs $450–$1,000 for a complete home, depending on your home's size and number of vents. We provide free estimates with exact pricing upfront – no hidden fees or surprise charges. Plus, we'll beat any written competitor quote by 10%. Avoid $49–$99 "whole house" specials – those companies use bait-and-switch tactics and inadequate portable equipment.
We work carefully around children and pets, and we protect your home with clean runners and boot covers throughout the entire process.
Most residential duct cleaning jobs take 2–4 hours, depending on your home's size and system complexity. We clean all supply vents, return vents, main trunk lines, and sanitize the entire system. Our crews are available evenings and weekends at no extra charge.
Yes. We work for restoration companies, healthcare facilities, schools, banks, and restaurants throughout Central Illinois. More than 30 companies subcontract us for furnace, duct and/or dryer vent cleaning work, including major ones like ServPro, Blue Sky and Lanz.
Spring (March–May) is ideal for cleaning before allergy season, while fall (September–November) prepares your system before winter. If you notice dust blowing from vents, musty odors, or family allergies worsening at home, don't wait – we're available year-round.
Yes. Clearing lint buildup helps reduce the risk of dryer fires and helps the dryer run more efficiently. Lint buildup is a common cause of home dryer fires. We clean dryer vents using the same professional, truck-mounted equipment we use for ductwork.
We work out of East Peoria and serve residential customers throughout Central Illinois, typically traveling within about 80 miles — Peoria, Bloomington, Normal, Champaign, Urbana, Springfield, Decatur, Lincoln, Mahomet, Morton, and the communities in between. If you're not sure whether you're in range, just call.
Our truck-mounted systems pull far more air than the portable units most companies bring. That's what actually pulls debris out of your home instead of stirring it around inside the ductwork. We also put the system under negative pressure so nothing escapes into your living space.
Since 1956 — 70+ years, family run, and duct and furnace cleaning is all we do. Our job logs put us at an estimated 750,000+ jobs across Central Illinois and we don't sell HVAC replacements, so there's nothing to upsell you into.
Ask Dave
Straight answers from 70+ years of cleaning Central Illinois furnaces, ducts, and dryer vents.
It isn't a real price. Those ads get a tech in the door with a shop vac, then the number climbs once they start listing what the coupon didn't cover — returns, trunk lines, the furnace, "sanitizer." A complete truck-mounted cleaning of an average home runs $450–$1,000. We quote the real number before we start, in writing, and we'll beat a comparable written competitor quote by 10%.
Pull a floor register and look down the duct with a flashlight. Visible dust blankets, pet hair, or construction debris means it's time. Other tells: dust settling back on furniture a day after you clean, uneven airflow room to room, allergy symptoms that ease when you leave the house, or a musty smell when the system kicks on. If your ducts are clean, we'll tell you that and you won't owe us anything for the estimate.
Airflow. Our truck-mounted vacuums pull far more air than a portable rig and vent everything outside into a sealed collection system, so the whole duct run is put under negative pressure and debris leaves your house. A portable shop-vac rig moves a small fraction of that and filters back into the room you're standing in. Same job description, completely different result.
Most residential jobs run 2–4 hours depending on the number of vents and how many HVAC systems the house has. Large or two-system homes can take longer. We'd rather take the extra hour than rush the trunk lines.
Both. A complete clean includes the furnace cabinet, blower compartment, and return drop along with the supply vents, return vents, and main trunk lines. Cleaning ducts and leaving a dirty blower wheel just pushes that dirt back through the system.
No on both counts, in most homes. We lay clean runners, wear boot covers, and the system stays under negative pressure so dust goes out to the truck instead of into your living room. We only need clear access to the furnace and to each vent — we'll move a light chair, but you don't need to empty rooms.
It helps, and I won't oversell it. Removing the dust, dander, and pollen sitting in the ductwork means your system stops re-circulating it every cycle, and most customers notice less settled dust. It is not a cure for allergies, and anyone promising that is selling you something. Pair it with a good filter changed on schedule.
Every 3 to 5 years for a typical Central Illinois home. Sooner after remodeling or new construction, with multiple shedding pets, with indoor smokers, or when you've just bought a house and don't know its history. Anyone recommending it every single year for every household is selling, not advising.
Occasionally — usually around the coil or in a duct running through a damp crawlspace, not throughout the system. If we find it, we show you, tell you what's feeding it (almost always a moisture problem), and clean and treat what we can reach. If it's a remediation job rather than a cleaning job, we'll say so instead of taking your money.
Someone 18 or older should be home so we can reach the furnace, every supply and return vent, and the dryer vent. Call (309) 472-5036 and we'll find a window that works — evenings and weekends are no extra charge.
