Need air ducts cleaned....recommendations?

[carl1647545492]

Our neighbor had a company do theirs for $500 they go all the way down have more suction not just 10 feet so a dedicated process it what I,m hearing.

 

I,m out of my area of expertise...thoughts or recommendations?

The question is: why?

 

If your furnace filter is functioning well the supply ducts should be pretty clean.

 

The return air ducts everything gets filtered.

 

If anything spending $500 on a better filtration system would probably yield more results.

Agreed...in my opinion it's a waste of money.

What "deficiency" are you thinking duct cleaning will solve?

 

Poor supply flow? poor return flow? Exceptionally dirty diffusers?

Kids coughing like a mo fo.....shes got it in her head we need to get them cleaned and we do.

 

The builders left so much shit in the ducts when we built it wasn't funny,I regret sighing off before getting them to get rid of all the rocks and drywall.

We change the furnace filter every few months the problem is the 20 feet of duct to each floor

Here is the EPA info on it:

Basically snake oil unless you have a specific issue.

just saw a thing on the news about these companies about a month ago......tread carefully here. It's a ripoff in general. Do a lot of research before going forward. I know how it is with the wife thing.....I have one too....make sure you forward all your findings to her. It may or may not help.

From the pitch I heard their the system/machines they use are dedicated not carpet cleaning attachments.

[Duff1647545513]

Our company always recommends customers to Fresh Air Corp. 614-322-3828.

 

From what I've heard, they're great people. And the customers of ours that have used them say that just the improvement in the smell of their house was worth it

Whempys Chimney Sweeps also does duct cleaning if you're in to that. The owner's son is a member on here as well as one of the guys who works there.

[Supplicium]

Cool maybe he can chime in.

 

I get it not all duct cleaning is the same i.e. carpet co,s use a carpet machine and it only reaches so far and sucks less.

 

I heard his pitch on speaker phone and it was very slick

 

Its just the $$$
