Hey, I read all this stuff about how important Air Duct Cleaning is to the Indoor Environment

Well my opinion is this~ its only important if its done correctly!

This $69-$89 blow & go special that is taking the country by storm~ this is not the kind of work that is going to give you happy results.

If you have a dust issue or a family member with Allergies or Asthma you don't want to take a chance with somebody's health or well being. Lets spend a little time getting the facts & get it right the first time.

Lets face it, you can't get much in terms of service work for $89. That's for any tradesman to come to your home for any repair.

I run a company & I can't get 2 service guys (duct cleaning is a 2-man job) out of the shop for that money; not to mention the quality of the work your are going to get for this price.

Now if we consider this as a platform for "bait and switch" operations then we are talking about the real truth regarding this pricing structure. These Blow N Go companies talk about "upselling to the customer" as a way to relieve the "ethics or code of conduct " obligation that they have as the result of being in the marketplace.

The only thing that will save a consumer from being ripped off is to do a little research and get some education regarding duct cleaning.

There are plenty of resources out there~ the BBB is a good place to start for local service company info & then you can review the info regarding Inspecting & Cleaning A/C systems from the national association ~ NADCA ~the Association for Inspection, Maintenance & Restoration of HVAC systems; their web site is www.NADCA.com/education

Let me just close by saying this "BUYER BEWARE". If you find a deal that sounds "too good to be true" do some checking, ask around, and don't buy into the junk science & scare tactics that some kid on commission is telling you.

Learn or get burned.
