Hiring A Professional Air Duct Cleaning Service


So like many homeowners you have begun to notice come dust on the air vents in your home. The question now becomes what to do about it? Is there dust building up inside of the air ducts as well? Is the amount of dust in the air ducts harmful to me or my family? These are all important questions that responsible homeowners need to ask themselves when deciding how to deal with this problem. The honest truth is that most people don't have the training and experience necessary to properly inspect their air ducts. They don't know how to access the air ducts and how to assess how bad a potential problem is. With the possible detrimental health effects that high levels of dust and mold may cause it's important to have the problem dealt with the right way, by a professional. When hiring a company that provides air duct cleaning services it's important to look at several factors. You want to hire a company that is experienced in working on air conditioning systems like the one in your home, has no complaints filed against it, and has any licenses that your state requires. If you are hiring a company that charges by the hour you also want to get a written estimate prior to allowing them to begin their work.

When hiring a company that provides air duct cleaning services you should use common sense. Do some background investigation of the companies you are considering. With the internet you can easily learn about any companies you are looking at and find out if they have a history of company complaints. You should ask any company you are considering hiring questions about your air conditioning system and make sure they are knowledgeable about their work. Are they licensed? Many states require companies that clean air ducts to be licensed, if they should be and are not then this is a definite red flag. It's also very important to obtain an estimate in writing and inform the company that any significant changes in what they charge needs to be approved by you before they continue working.

As with all aspects of home repair and maintenance cleaning out dirty ducts is important. Allowing ductwork to become excessively dusty can have a negative impact on your health and may reduce the life of your air conditioning system. Whenever considering hiring any company to work on your home make sure you are informed about them. Do a little research, ask them questions, and obtain estimates in writing. Any reputable company should be happy to talk with you about the work they will be performing as well as give you a written estimate. Hiring a company that provides air duct cleaning services is just like hiring any other contractor, as long as they are a reputable company they should provide you with quality service. So if you notice a lot of dust around your air conditioning vents don't ignore the problem or put it off until it gets to be out of hand. Hire a company that provides air duct cleaning services to help protect the health of your family and the performance of your air conditioner.

  1. Thanks for sharing. I also had no idea that there are so many companies that specialize in duct cleaning. I was recently contacted about duct cleaning in Toronto so I might have them come out and clean all the ducts in my house.
