Be careful of the bait & switch (or blow- n- go)
Hey, are you also wondering about this $89 “whole house” duct cleaning that is in the paper several times a week. Seems too good to be true doesn’t it? Or, maybe it’s only $69 this week. Who knows- it often changes with every new ad in the paper.
You can Eliminate the risk by looking for a company that is certified by NADCA (see Below)
All companies that are NADCA certified have technicians that are trained, tested, & sworn to uphold a code of ethics/conduct in the Marketplace.
Please don’t believe that you can get a “Whole House” service done for $69 - $89. With today’s labor costs you can’t even get a service truck to leave the shop for that price.
Everybody wants to believe that the $89 bait & switch special will make some sort of improvement in your Dust. Mold, Energy bills or Allergies, but there are specific industry methods & standards (ACR-2006) that are established to ensure the best cleaning process.
Be aware of ‘on the spot’ scheduling before you can get the real scoop on what procedure is required & don’t buy into scare tactics. "Black Mold” is not fatal if you breathe it in.
There are very specific conditions that can be identified through proper testing & inspection of your home or office.
NADCA even has a written schedule of suggested inspection periods & possible actions.
You should not be shocked to learn that this bait & switch is happening all over the country & consumer groups are standing by as 1,000’s of elderly homeowners or unknowledgeable consumers are getting ripped off. Call a service company that you trust & ask who they recommend for air duct cleaning, if they don’t provide the service. Or go the BBB website & see if they have guidelines or warnings. Also https://www.nadca.com/publications/index.aspx has an entire section of their website dedicated to the education of consumers so you know what to expect on price, time & end results.
