carl1647545492 Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 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.

Stallion Motorsports1647545491 Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Agreed...in my opinion it's a waste of money. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankis Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 What "deficiency" are you thinking duct cleaning will solve? Poor supply flow? poor return flow? Exceptionally dirty diffusers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl1647545492 Posted June 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 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. 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. We change the furnace filter every few months the problem is the 20 feet of duct to each floor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xlr8tn Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 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.

Duff1647545513 Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 $$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
