Help! My Old Home Needs Its Air Ducts Cleaned!
If you’ve only recently heard about air duct cleaning and you own an old home, you might be feeling a bit anxious after learning about all of the reasons why people get their air ducts cleaned. Calm down – you’ll want to do your research to find the right company before hiring anyone!
You want to get someone out to your home to do the job immediately, but naturally, you have tons of worries and questions. Don’t worry – the air duct cleaning experts at Induct Clean are here to guide you through the process!
1. Price isn’t always the most important factor
While shopping around for the best price is a great tactic for finding any type of service, it’s important to understand how many scammers there are out there. Unfortunately, the air duct cleaning industry as a whole has been blemished by numerous illegitimate air duct cleaning companies, so if the price seems too good to be true, it probably is. For legitimate companies who offer their services at a fair price, be sure to look out for air duct cleaning coupons.
After reading all of the horror stories about shoddy air duct cleaning, you might be thinking, “How is this legal?” The answer is pretty simple – you get what you pay for, and offering a super low price is just salesmanship 101. The next 3 points will go into some of the ways you can find out if the air duct cleaning company is legit.
2. Equipment matters
When speaking with a company you may potentially hire, always ask what kind of equipment they use. While you are not an expert on the equipment yourself, you’ll be able to tell pretty quickly if the company is using more than just a vacuum that’s going to stir up more dust than it cleans out. Another thing to look out for is the size and amount of equipment the company is using. A powerful, top-of-the-line machine will not fit in the back of a car, that’s for sure!
3. Is the air duct cleaning company certified?
Most of the illegitimate amateur companies out there are easy to spot because they’re not certified. Induct Clean, for example, is certified by the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration, the National Air Duct Cleaners Association and the Better Business Bureau. If the company isn’t certified, then they’re either new and potentially trustworthy or, more likely, trying to get by without working through the proper channels.
4. Is the company experienced?
For work in an old home such as yours, it’s especially important that the company be experienced. Dealing with new HVAC units is one thing, but navigating the various types of units from decades ago takes a keen eye, intelligence and most of all, a lot of experience.
5. The final decision
So, who gets the job? Whether you’re looking to hire the first competent company you find or shop the market, you’ve gotta call Induct Clean at (609) 265-0775 for the perfect combination of affordable pricing, high-quality equipment, certifications and experience. We’re looking forward to hearing from you!
