As you consider who to work with for your air duct cleaning, read on to find out how you can make sure you are not getting scammed.
Make sure the air duct cleaning is full service
You may find people who offer air duct cleaning but end up simply sweeping off the exterior of your ducts. This is something you can easily do yourself. Instead, you need an HVAC company who will do a full cleaning of your heating and cooling unit. That is just what you can expect from Econo West Heating Air & Plumbing. Before we begin the process, we will go over everything we will do so that you know just what you are paying for.
Insist on a written estimate for your unique needs
If you find a company that offers a special in which they say they can clean all air ducts for a flat fee then you should skip them. The reality is that the cost of cleaning air ducts varies widely based on how large your home is, the type of HVAC system you have, how easily accessible your ducts are, how dirty they are, and other factors.
A company that swears they can do all homes for the same price is likely a home that is going to just give a cursory vacuum or will come to your home with the intention of talking you into a much more expensive package. You should expect to pay hundreds of dollars for quality air duct cleaning, for it to take many hours, and for sophisticated equipment and numerous workers to be involved.
Get the details on their cleaning methods
Ask any company you are considering what type of cleaning supplies they use. Remember that anything they use is going to eventually be spread throughout your home. As a result, you want to avoid anything that has harsh chemicals in it. Ask them for details about their cleaning methods. If their answer involves steam cleaning then you should skip them. This actually adds moisture to the ducts, which can increase mold and mildew.
