Thanks to AirDuct Pros, I was able to achievement prompt settlement of my house in Randallstown knowing that all air ducts were efficiently and expertly cleaned. I am so glad you came to my rescue.
Rae Rossen
thank you very very much for making out to my apartment complex so fast. After the cleaning, my wife said - "it is so much easier to breath." Your service was definitely worth it.

Good Morning, I wanted to let you know what an excellent job that Dwayne and Andy did on Saturday.
They were both so knowledgeable, informative and very detailed. They are both a great excess to your company.
I was very pleased.

Duane and Andy arrived to the house introduced themselves and went to work. They explained to me what they was going to do step by step which was very helpful for me to undertand the procedure. They was very polite, friendly, and very professional. After they finished the work they put everything back the way it was. I would use this company for my next cleaning and would also recommend others to also.
Our house with a single furnace and central A/C never had a duct cleaning in all its 37 years. In spite of using expensive filters and changing them every 6 months, we were suffering from constant dust and regular stuffy noses. We contacted Air Duct Pros after a bit of research. They didn't advertise the lowest price in their ads, but I liked that the ads were clear about the bottom line price with no hidden fees. There was no hesitation when I asked for local references. I called one in my neighborhood and got a positive review. Scheduling online was a breeze. The team showed up on time shortly after calling us from the road. They did a through job, showing us what they were doing all along the way. There was a significant amount of stuff in the ductwork! No short cuts were taken from what I could tell, and the price was exactly as quoted in the ad. The result has been no dust and no stuffy noses in the morning since the cleaning. I recommend these guys

RESIDENTIAL CONSUMER FAQS
Are there any health
benefits that come from HVAC system cleaning?
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems have
been shown to act as a collection source for a variety of
contaminants that have the potential to affect health, such as mold,
fungi, bacteria, and very small particles of dust. The removal of
such contaminants from the HVAC system and home should be considered
as one component in an overall plan to improve indoor air quality.
Will HVAC system cleaning
reduce our home energy bills?
Research by the U.S. EPA has demonstrated that HVAC system
cleaning may allow systems to run more efficiently by removing
debris from sensitive mechanical components. Clean, efficient
systems are less likely to break down, have a longer life span, and
generally operate more effectively than dirty systems.
How should a residential
HVAC system be cleaned?
The most effective way to clean air ducts and ventilation
systems is to employ Source Removal methods of cleaning. This
requires a contractor to place the system under negative pressure,
through the use of a specialized, powerful vacuum. While the vacuum
draws air through the system, devices are inserted into the ducts to
dislodge any debris that might be stuck to interior surfaces. The
debris can then travel down the ducts to the vacuum, which removes
it from the system and the home.
What kind of equipment is
best for cleaning-truck mounted vacuums or portable vacuums?
NADCA does not endorse one kind of equipment over another. There
are two main types of vacuum collection devices: (1) those mounted
on trucks and trailers, and (2) portable units. Truck/trailer
mounted equipment is generally more powerful than portable equipment.
However, portable equipment can often be brought directly into a
facility, allowing the vacuum source to be located closer to the
ductwork. Both types of equipment will clean to NADCA standards.
All vacuum units should be attached to a collection device for safe
containment prior to disposal. Any vacuum collection device which
exhausts indoors must be HEPA (high efficiency particulate
arrestance) filtered.
A vacuum collection device alone will not get an HVAC system
clean. The use of methods and tools designed to agitate debris
adhered to the surfaces within the system, in conjunction with
the use of the vacuum collection device(s), is required to clean
HVAC systems. (For example: brushes, air whips, and “skipper
balls.”)
How often should
residential HVAC systems be cleaned?
Frequency of cleaning depends on several factors, not the least
of which is the preference of the home owner. Some of the things
that may lead a home owner to consider more frequent cleaning
include:
•
Smokers in the household.
•
Pets that shed high amounts of hair and dander.
•
Water contamination or damage to the home or HVAC
system.
•
Residents with allergies or asthma who might benefit
from a reduction in the amount of indoor air pollutants in
the home’s HVAC system.
•
After home renovations or remodeling.
•
Prior to occupancy of a new home.
What is the normal price
range for the air duct cleaning service?
The Environmental Protection Agency says that “duct cleaning
services typically – but not always – range in cost from $450 to
$1000 per heating and cooling system, depending on the services
offered, the size of the system to be cleaned, system accessibility,
climactic region, and level of contamination” and type of duct
material.
Consumers should beware of air duct cleaning companies that
making sweeping claims about the health benefits of duct
cleaning – such claims are unsubstantiated. Consumers should
also beware of “blow-and-go” air duct cleaning companies. These
companies often charge a nominal fee and do a poor job of
cleaning the heating and cooling system. These companies may
also persuade the consumer into unneeded services with and/or
without their permission.
(If you have knowledge of a practicing “blow-and-go” air duct
cleaner, contact your local Better Business Bureau to report the
company, and your local, federal, and state elected officials to
demand legislation.)
What criteria should I use
in selecting an HVAC system cleaner?
Interview as many local contractors as you can. Ask them to
come to your home and perform a system inspection and give you a
quotation. To narrow down your pool of potential contractors, use
the following pre-qualifications:
•
Make sure the company is a member in good standing of
the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA).
•
See if the company has been in business long enough to
have adequate experience.
•
Inquire whether the company is in good standing with
your local Better Business Bureau.
•
Get proof that the company is properly licensed and
adequately insured.
•
Verify that the company is certified by NADCA to perform
HVAC system cleaning.
•
Make sure that the company is going to clean and
visually inspect all of the air ducts and related system
components.
•
Avoid advertisements for "$99 whole house specials" and
other sales gimmicks.
•
Ask if the company has the right equipment to
effectively perform cleaning, and if the company has done
work in homes similar to yours. Get references from
neighbors if possible.
Why should I choose a NADCA
member to have my air ducts cleaned?
NADCA Members have signed a Code of Ethics stating they will do
everything possible to protect the consumer, and follow NADCA
Standards for cleaning to the best of their ability, for a list of
NADCA members near you,
click here. Air duct cleaning
companies must meet stringent requirements to become a NADCA Member.
Among those requirements, all NADCA Members must have certified Air
System Cleaning Specialists (ASCS) on staff, who have taken and
passed the NADCA Certification Examination. Passing the exam
demonstrates extensive knowledge in HVAC design and cleaning
methodologies. ASCS's are also required to further their industry
education by attending seminars in order to maintain their NADCA
certification status.
What are sanitizers, and
why would they need to be used?
Sanitizers are anti-microbial chemicals applied to the interior
surface of the air ducts, designed to control microbial
contamination. Before any sanitizers are used, the system should be
thoroughly cleaned. It is critical that any anti-microbial treatment
used in your system be EPA registered for the intended use in HVAC
systems. Ask to see the chemical’s Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS). If you are still concerned, call the EPA at 1-800-438-4318.
It should be noted that there are no EPA registered anti-microbial
products for use on porous system surfaces – such as fiberglass
surfaces.
How long should it take to
clean a typical residential HVAC system?
The amount of time it takes to clean a residential HVAC system
depends on many variables such as the size of the home, the number
of systems, the extent of the contamination and the number of HVAC
cleaners performing the job. Ask at least two contractors to inspect
your system and give you a time estimate for your particular system.
This will give you a general idea of how long the job should take as
well as an idea of how thoroughly the contractor plans to do the
job.
How can we determine if the
HVAC system cleaning was effective?
The best way to determine if the HVAC system cleaning was
effective is to perform a visual inspection of the system before and
after cleaning. If any dust or debris can be seen during the visual
inspection, the system should not be considered cleaned. While you
can perform your own visual inspection using a flash light and
mirror, a professional cleaning contractor should be able to allow
you better access to system components and perhaps the use of
specialized inspection tools. In addition, following this post-cleaning
check list can help to ensure a top quality job.
