Check Out These Pro Tips for Hiring Duct Cleaning Services

Hiring a decent and reputed air duct cleaner is like finding a needle in a haystack. But you can always follow these expert tips to ensure a perfect air duct cleaning project at your house.

1. The NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaners Association) suggests cleaning your home’s air ducts every 3 to 5 years. The United States Environmental Protection Agency( EPA) won’t suggest a specific frequency, but recommends doing so frequently in case you suffer from any substantial mold growth, or a vermin infestation or heavy amount of dust and debris in the ductwork system.
2. Remember that a complete professional air duct cleaning project costs between $300 to $1,000, as per the EPA and NADCA. It varies depending on the size of your home, but the average cost is about $500.
3. Don’t get duped into the common bait-and-switch plan. The unscrupulous duct cleaning companies get their foot in your door with a $50 "complete house cleaning" price by throwing in a mailer or coupon, and later on they pile on several extra charges or even upsell their services. You will end up spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on unexpected service fees for that "$50" cleaning. A certified contractor of duct cleaning services is sure to cost you at least a couple of hundred dollars and no less
4. If you plan to hire cleaning services mentioned on a flier, scan the ad completely for the fine print, like ten vents and only one main trunk line. In actuality we all know that most of the homes here in the US have over 10 vents and a minimum two main trunks. Companies add extra charges for all the other lines. So know what you are paying for before getting the work started.

5. Make sure the Air duct cleaning service provider you are planning to get on board is approved by the National Air Duct Cleaners Association. Air duct cleaning firms that hold membership and/or certification from NADCA are the best bet for reliable duct-related services. Member companies of the NADCA are supposed to follow the association’s set code of conduct and work ethics and therefore will always carry liability insurance for maintaining their membership. At least one person hired by the duct cleaning company is supposed to have completed training by NADCA and must hold its certification. Also, NADCA members agree to follow its best practices that involve addressing not only the duct work, but the overall HVAC system.
