Duct Cleaning Buffalo NY Technician Reveals Secrets Some Duct Cleaners don’t Want You to Know

Feb. 15, 2011 - PRLog -- Buffalo, NY – Duct cleaning Buffalo NY technician, Robert Garman, has noticed a significant growth in companies that advertise duct cleaning services.  With so many ads in the newspaper and companies who advertise in the Monthly Shopper and other mailings, how does one know which company to hire?

Many of these duct cleaning contractors boast the lowest prices and best value, ranging from $60 - $100.  In today’s economy, this can be very attractive to the unsuspecting homeowner looking for a bargain.

Robert Garman is onto the duct cleaning contractor who really just wants to clean out a customer’s wallet!  “Once this duct cleaning contractor enters your home and performs his “inspection” he will announce that you need additional services not covered by the advertisement.  This bait and switch scam is quite popular among specialized contractors who are working with the average homeowner who is not an expert in the field.”

Robert Garman recommends starting with the Better Business Bureau when looking for any type of home service provider.  “The Better Business Bureau is a great resource for finding a reputable duct cleaning company.  They can provide you a list of Accredited Businesses specializing in duct cleaning services.”

Garman provided some interesting facts about duct cleaning services and offered tips to residents looking for a duct cleaning company.  “Air duct cleaning can cost up to $1,000 per HVAC system, depending on the services, size of the system and the level of contamination.  Contrary to popular belief, dust mites do not live in duct work.”

Tips for choosing a duct cleaning service:

Avoid companies who recommend duct cleaning as a routine part of HVAC maintenance.  The EPA recommends air duct cleaning as needed, not on a regular basis

Get several written estimates

Find out how long the company has been in business and check references

Ask what their service includes and if they will be doing a complete cleaning, including coils and fans

Ask about chemicals they use and be sure you understand the benefits and the risks

Make sure all duct cleaning companies who send contractors into your home are licensed, insured and members of the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (www.nadca.com).  The duct cleaning company you hire should be certified in HVAC system cleaning.

According to Garman, a reputable duct cleaning service may cost more money, but they will do the job correctly.  An unlicensed contractor who is not certified in HVAC system cleaning can actually do more harm than good.
