"Regal did an excellent job on cleaning my air ducts and dryer vent after a remodeling. Very professional and explained everything before starting. I would highly recommend this company."
"Best Air Quality and Restoration did a spectacular job! I can't say enough about the employees. They did an outstanding job! They were punctual,polite and followed social distancing protocols.They assessed the home and cleaned the air ducts quickly and efficiently. I am very pleased with their service and highly recommended this company. I purchased a new home and had them come clean the ducts to improve the homes environment. They showed me before and after pictures and I noticed a difference right away"
"The technician that cleaned my ductwork had a lot of work to do. Milan had asked me as he was leaving how long had it been since I had the ducts cleaned. I couldn’t recall, then realized it was a long time ago. 30 years! As a new homeowner I had zero experience so I was relying on my husband. He died 5 years after we bought this house and being clueless about the care & upkeep on it. I neglected pretty much everything. Lowes the Company offered the same exact cleaning as 2 other companies that gave me estimates over $1,000. Lowes has 3 flat rates to choose from, I chose the $398 special and that’s exactly what I paid. Great Company with Great prices!"
"Hired Hydro Clean for medium area carpet cleaning. Tech was on time and was ready to go! My husband is more aware of expert cleaning & was not satisfied with the level of cleaning we received. Lot of moisture left in carpet. I had not experienced this before & I was okay with the final result. I will definitely express my wishes/wants with next cleaning. EXACT!"
"The guys showed up and were able to tackle the dryer vent cleaning. Glad I called because dryer lint had accumulated 13yrs! They did a great job. Would def call back."
"C&C's servicemen were courteous on the phone and in person, helpful in explaining everything they would be doing, and prompt both by arriving on time and in getting the job done in the time frame promised. They left my home as clean as they found it, too. The price, which was calculated according to the number of duct vents counted when they first arrived, ended up below the quote I received ahead of time, which was a nice bonus. Also, I had requested an email quote up front from several services to help me decide on which service to hire, and C&C was the only ones to fulfill that request, again promptly. The quote was right at the average price for homes in this area, as calculated by HomeAdvisor, so the final ticket was less than the average. I am completely satisfied and happy with the job they did and would recommend them"
"These guys were fantastic! Rony and Luz were a great team and were very thorough in cleaning my ducts. They showed me before and after pictures of my ducts and wow what a difference! They were able to walk me through the whole process and show me exactly what they were doing, and answered any questions I had. I can tell that there is better air quality in my house and the air is blowing stronger out of the vents. I have already recommended Fair Duct and the Rony/ Luz team to friends and family."
"Customer service was great. Aaron set up the appointment and updated me on Dan’s arrival time. Dan was polite and professional. He answered my questions and gave me a better understanding of the work being done. Dan placed a vacuum hose and a brush in the vents. I was shocked hearing the amount of dirt traveling through the hose. I was more shocked seeing the amount of debris on the filter (furnace) once he finished. We recently had drywall work done and are very pleased with the results of the air duct cleaning."
"Kenny came to the job in Bethesda MD to repair an old leaking galvanized pipe and clean the drain with an auger. He gave a fair price estimate and did a quick and thorough job. Quite knowledgeable and professional."
Most housekeepers won’t handle tasks that require specialized equipment or training, like carpet shampooing, window washing at high levels, or outdoor cleaning. Housekeepers typically dust, vacuum, mop, wash dishes, clean surfaces, and launder linens. It’s best to clarify what services are included before hiring to make sure you’re on the same page.
As a general guideline, the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends cleaning air ducts every three to five years. However, the ideal frequency depends on your specific circumstances. You may need more frequent cleanings if you have pets, household members with allergies or respiratory issues, use a wood-burning fireplace, or live in a dusty area. Other signs that it's time for a cleaning include visible mold, musty odors, poor airflow, or if you've recently completed a home renovation. While the EPA states that ducts only need cleaning when these issues arise, regular maintenance can help prevent problems and improve indoor air quality.
Ozone can damage building materials and belongings in your home, as the same oxidizing powers that allow it to remove odors can break down other things in your living space. However, it would take long-term exposure for any noticeable damages to occur. Since ozone smoke removal takes 24 to 36 hours, a treatment or two won’t have much of a negative impact on your belongings.
If you just moved into a new house or found significant mold, dust, or pest remnants in your vents, or you see condensation on your air vents, you can easily find a highly trained pro to do the job correctly by asking a few key questions:
Do you have proof of liability insurance?
What about worker's compensation insurance?
Are you a member of the NADCA?
Have you worked on my model of HVAC system before?
What is included in your contracted amount?
Can you provide local references?
If you don't regularly change your HVAC air filter, it will become clogged with dust, dirt, and other contaminants. This blockage forces the system to work harder to circulate air, leading to several negative consequences. You may experience higher energy bills, poor temperature regulation, reduced air quality, and slower system performance. Over time, this added strain can cause parts to break more frequently, lead to system failure, and ultimately shorten the lifespan of your entire HVAC unit. In some cases, it can also contribute to health problems. It's recommended to change the filter at least every three months.
