Air Duct Cleaning
Air Duct Cleaning is the service of cleaning the inside surfaces of the air ducts and getting them back to their original state which is bare metal, fiber board or flex duct. When air is passing through the air duct delivery system, it was designed to be free and clear of dirt and debris. A proper air duct cleaning as stated by the National Air Duct Cleaners Association should accomplish “Total Source Removal”. What this means is that the debris inside of the air ducts should be completely removed and every piece of ducting whether heating duct or return duct should be cleaned.
The truth is, when done right air duct cleaning really works. Air duct cleaning removes the debris from the interior surfaces which you will someday be breathing. Our preferred vendor for Duct Cleaning is Amistee – http://amistee.com/

Professional Equipment for Debis Removal
The most common and most powerful equipment choice for professional duct cleaning is the vacuum truck. The benefit of using a vacuum truck for air duct cleaning is that all of the dirt and debris gets pulled directly outside to a collection bin inside of the truck and the power is unbeatable. In many cases, if the truck was more powerful it would crush most duct systems.
The other equipment choice for air duct cleaning would be to use a portable piece of equipment. This is a piece of air duct cleaning equipment that is portable and can be moved inside of a home or business to perform an air duct cleaning. Portable equipment is sometimes needed for large commercial buildings or high rise complexes. When an air duct cleaning company comes to clean an air duct system it is important to remember that all pieces of the air delivery system (air ducts) must be cleaned to provide you with results. If you choose to have your air ducts cleaned by a company that you feel will provide the best value for your money, make sure that if portable equipment is used it is HEPA filtered. The reason for this is that if there is not the proper filtration on the vacuum, when it is on and exhausting air into your home or business it could also be contaminating the air you breathe.
Integrity Service
Just like any industry, there are companies that will try and take advantage of consumers that are unaware of what to expect or what needs to be done for an air duct cleaning. These unethical companies have been giving the air duct cleaning industry a bad name for many years. When searching for an air duct cleaning company if the deal seems too good to be true, it usually is! Maybe you are allergic to the debris or maybe you are not, this does not change the fact that the debris is there and you will be breathing it if not properly removed by a proper air duct cleaning.
When choosing an air duct cleaning company to clean your air ducts, do your research. The best way when choosing a company is to look at a companies history with past clients and ask for recent jobs that have been done. If they do good work, they are proud of the work they do and would be happy to have you speak with recent customers. Do they have any complaints on the BBB? Ask the potential company for referrals from past customers in your area or for customers that have a similar air duct configurations if yours is unique. Check the length of time the business has been cleaning air ducts. Is it an add on service? Make sure the potential company is licensed and insured and ask to see both of these (there is nothing wrong with asking, if they have both they will easily provide them to you). Do other service companies refer the potential air duct cleaner? If so, ask who and call them to see the history. You can tell a lot about someone by their friends and the same goes for businesses. Lastly, make sure the price they are quoting you will not change and if so why. Do not fall victim to a “bait and switch” scam.)
