2012-2019 A.L. Super Service Award Winner! AQC uses the newest duct cleaning technology in the industry. We do NOT use rotobrush systems or homemade 50 gallon drum vacuums with makeshift hoses to shove down your lines. Those methods move the dirt around and tear up duct work. Also, if you see dirt around the vents during the cleaning process, contaminants are being brought back into the home. This happens with all other duct cleaning systems. We pride ourselves in air duct cleaning the correct way, not pushing the dirt around, but removing it and keeping it contained in our vacuum system and the ducts. We always offer free before and after photos so you see exactly what you're paying for. Our process uses suction and forced air simultaneously. We do not disconnect any lines or compromise your system. Our cleaning methods are above and beyond any air duct cleaners in the country. We are highly recommended by multiple heating and air companies in the area. Air Quality Concepts provides reliable and expert customer service for all of your duct cleaning needs, mold removal, vapor barriers, and dryer vent cleaning. You will breathe better and feel better knowing that your air system and your quality of life are greatly improved.

"If I could give it zero stars I would. Rude, unprofessional kids with a shop vac. They. Active. Dryer is now broken. Sketchy that the kids who came posed as Charles Edwards, the supposed owner. Did not feel safe. Do not recommend at all. New company came and agreed they did nothing and did damage to my dryer."

"If I could give this place zero stars I would. They have come to my home to "fix" my AC unit the past 3 weeks. Each time they "found" another problem, and up charged me each time. I am now sitting in a 90 degree home with 4 toddlers, after there 4th attempt to "fix" my unit. I will be contacting the BBB , and requesting a refund so my AC unit can be fixed through another company. This company does not care about anyone's wellbeing/health and is money hungry... called them 8 times today and I believe they are ignoring my calls at this point."

"Our A/C wasn’t working, so one of their techs came out about a week ago. He gave us a laundry list of all sorts of things that were wrong with our unit. He said that we could repair it but since the unit is in such rough shape, he didn’t know how long the repairs would last before our unit went out again. The lowest we got quoted to fix all these “problems” was $3400. We got a second opinion from a different company who said that the only thing wrong with our unit was the compressor. He got our A/C up and running within 15 minutes. He said our unit is in good shape but it could use a really good maintenance cleaning. I asked this man if there were any major problems with our unit like ARS told us there was, and he said that our pan could use a good cleaning but other than that our unit was in great shape. This different company also knew we were in a rough patch financially and we were able to get our A/C up and running for $250 instead of the outrageous quotes we got from ARS. I understand that unfortunately companies like ARS just like to scam people to get more money but I’m extremely disappointed in the straight lies we were told that were wrong with our unit. I would never recommend ARS to anyone in North Carolina. ARS I hope you learn from your mistakes and stop trying to scam people."

Next a/c stopped working and froze pipes and damaged walls inside of my home. Charged $650 to fix for the 3rd time. Please don't use this company. They literally have no idea how to fix air conditioners. Went from everything is OK to $1000 in damage in 2 weeks!"

Air Duct Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Return air ducts shouldn't be installed in closets, bathrooms, garages, kitchens, boiler rooms, furnace rooms, and attics. Kitchens can have return ducts if they only serve that kitchen and are at least 10 feet away from cooking appliances. Similarly, return ducts can only be installed in garages if they're part of a forced-air system that only serves the garage.

Some homes in warmer locations have air vents in the ceiling because they do a better job of cooling than floor vents. This is because hot air rises and cool air sinks. Homes located in cooler climates tend to have vents in the floor because they do a better job of delivering warm air, which rises.

You can adjust uneven airflow in your home by adjusting the dampers on the vents. However, if the temperature feels consistent throughout the home, don’t worry too much about uneven airflow. Generally speaking, larger rooms should receive more airflow than smaller rooms, especially if they only have one vent.

A blockage in the ductwork may prevent air from flowing through the vent. If some rooms in your home are very hot or cold and another isn't, that can be a sign that a vent is blocked. Another sign of a blockage is a buildup of dirt or dust around the vent. In either case, a duct installer or cleaning service can investigate the issue for you and recommend a course of action.

Flex ducts' main problem is also their main strength: their flexibility. Because the material they are made from has little structural support, they can start to sag or compress over time. They can also be more challenging to clean than sturdier ductwork. However, it’s precisely this flexible nature that makes them a good solution for those who need a space-saving solution for their ductwork.
