There IS A DIFFERENCE in duct cleaners. Most only clean "some" of the system, but DUCTZ Cleans the entire system including the Air Handler, supply and return ducts, and all components in the duct system. We are NADCA Certified (National Air Duct Cleaners Assoc) Air duct and Dryer vent Cleaning. DUCTZ is dedicated to making every home a cleaner and healthier place to be. We care about your home and respect it in every way. We don’t just clean ducts, we restore air conditioning systems to peak cleanliness. Our cleaning procedures are in full compliance with the industry standards from NADCA and ACCA. Not all duct cleaners are alike. Our techniques involve far more than simply air whipping your ducts. Ducts are fully brushed with brushes suitable for the ductwork being cleaned (see photos for the huge difference brushing makes over just using air tools). We take before and after photos as part of our process, assuring that all ducts are thouroughly clean. We are experienced and professional HVAC Air Duct cleaners, Ventilation System inspectors, and also perform quality Dryer Vent Cleanng serving Baltimore, Harford and Cecil Counties in Maryland. We are members of, and certified by NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaners Association) specializing in HVAC units and duct work: Certifications include "Air System Cleaning Specialist" and "Ventilation Sytem Mold Remediator" and certified Ventiliation System Inspector (ASCS, VSMR, CVI) from NADCA. Technicians are bright, well groomed, uniformed, experienced, attentive and well trained in all facets of indoor air quality. We service Residential, Commercial, Industrial and Restoration applications. DUCTZ is fully insured and bonded. Estimates are free, as they are an expected part of cleaning using the right methods and at the right price. When you want to breath easy, and live healthy, call DUCTZ. 410-692-9775

"We are having our HVAC replaced and our salesperson recommended DUCTZ. DUCTZ came out on-time today to clean our air vents. The communication prior to the visit was very clear and it was easy to understand the upcoming process. They were very considerate, we toured our home and they went right to work bringing in the needed equipment and moving necessary furniture to access the vent covers. They were diligent and stayed focused on the task. Before I knew it, they were reattaching the cleaned vent covers and removing the equipment. Within a few hours, we had before/after pictures and have a great sense of comfort knowing all the gunk is gone! I highly recommend DUCTZ!"

Protecting homes and businesses since 1950, Guardian Protection is one of the nation's largest and most highly regarded security companies. We provide smart technology, 24/7 professional monitoring, and peace of mind to hundreds of thousands of customers. Our products are installed by experts, monitored by real people, and truly make a difference. We do what we do because of one simple truth: life is better when it's safe.

"We hired Guardian to install our security system at our Washington, DC, business. The service and quality of the work was horrible. We had cameras and an alarm system installed; it was a relatively large system. They outsource most of the work to various vendors. They could not manage their vendors; what was supposed to take a week took two months. The sales rep did not return calls, and you could never get anyone in management on the phone. Random people would show up at unannounced times. The few things that an actual Guardian employee did were they made a huge mess of our newly remodeled office and were rude to our staff. We have offices in five markets across the US and have high security at each; we have never had such a poor experience."

Your quality of life IS our business.

"In 2017, I contracted with them via Pepco because the 2nd floor rooms were hotter than the rest of the house, costing me greater A/C expenses. I worked with them on an energy audit to the upstairs bedrooms, removal of the acoustic ceiling tile in one room, addition/improvement of insulation, sealing in kneewalls, installation of new ceiling, insulation in the basement, and a follow-up energy audit. The auditor was very prompt and friendly but the workers didn't do an good job. The contractor was flaky. The HVAC crew were sloppy. The drywall installer/carpenter did a low-grade job by using low grade wood for the knee wall doors, and he set the ceiling inappropriately for house settling (now there are cracks between ceiling and walls). The energy audit following the work showed improvement but I'll need additional solutions to get the house to a more efficient state. I shared my disappointment with them and in 2018 they refinished cracking drywall ceiling without charge and replaced the doors - still not quality. They were bought by Minnick's, with whom in 2019 I scheduled an estimate for additional HVAC solutions for the upstairs. Minnick's jerked me around, never gave a complete estimate (I had to keep asking if it included what we discussed) and the estimate was exponentially more pricey than others and they proposed a solution that wouldn't solve the problem. I wouldn't recommend them at all."

Insulation questions, answered by experts

You can purchase bags of cellulose and loose-fill fiberglass blown-in insulation from the same local home improvement store where you rent your blower. If you want to use rock wool insulation, you may need to special order it.

Yes, energy-efficient homes are increasingly desirable in the market.

Radiant barriers and insulation serve different purposes, so one is not inherently better than the other. Radiant barriers reflect radiant heat, helping keep spaces cool, especially in hot climates, while insulation slows heat transfer through conduction. For optimal energy efficiency, it’s best to use both together. 

Radiant barriers can enhance the performance of insulation by preventing heat gain in the summer and heat loss in the winter. The choice between them depends on specific climate conditions and the building’s design requirements.

No, you shouldn’t wrap a towel, old T-shirt, or other porous fabric around your faucets. These materials absorb water, which can make your faucet more likely to freeze. Instead, you want to use waterproof, insulative covers that can seal tightly around the spigots for the best protection against frozen outdoor faucets and pipes.

The average cost to install insulation is around $1,800, but you could pay anywhere between $500 and $4,500, depending on various factors. Some of the things that have a significant influence on your pricing include the following:

  • Size of the area 

  • Type and R-value of the insulation 

  • Whether your space is finished or unfinished

  • Accessibility of the area

  • Your geographical location

  • Amount of site preparation, especially for blown-in insulation

  • Whether or not you need old insulation removed
