In recent
years millions of Americans have had their home air conditioning systems and ductwork
cleaned. Duct cleaning can help to reduce the levels of dust within a home, increase the
efficiency of the air conditioning system, and diminish the risks of indoor air pollution.
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA), a non-profit
organization, has published a guideline for consumers to follow When choosing an air duct
cleaning company.NADCA offers these suggestions for selecting an air duct cleaner:
- Make sure the cleaning contractor uses "source removal"
cleaning methods designed to extract the debris within your air conditioning system. The
routine application of encapsulants to seal debris within ductwork is not recommended.
- Get references from past jobs. Ask the duct cleaners customers if
they were happy with the services performed, if they felt they benefited from the
cleaning, and if they experienced any problems with their air conditioning system after
the job.
- See if the duct cleaning company is a member in good standing of your
local Better Business Bureau.
- Make sure the duct cleaner has worked on air conditioning systems
similar to your own and ask how long the cleaning technicians who will be servicing your
system have been performing duct cleaning.
- Make sure the duct cleaner takes care to protect your home and
belongings. Duct cleaning is a relatively routine process and you should not have to do
any unusual house cleaning after the job.
- Make sure that any chemicals used in the cleaning process are EPA
registered for the intended application. You may also request a Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS).
- Make sure that the cleaner you choose agrees to perform the cleaning
services in accordance with all provisions of the industry performance standard NADCA
1992-01, Mechanical Cleaning of Non-Porous Air Conveyance System Components.
- Ask if the firm has all of the necessary business and professional
licenses. Some states have recently passed statutes which require that air duct cleaners
hold air conditioning contractors' licenses or similar professional licenses.
- Watch out for "add-on" sales. Some cleaners will charge a
base fee and then surprise the customer with additional costs for applying sanitzers or
other related services. Make sure you have agreed on the total cost and scope of the job
before work begins.
- Confirm that the duct cleaner is a member in good standing of the
National Air Duct Cleaners Association. Choosing a NADCA member to perform the work will
ensure that your facility receives a thorough source removal cleaning in accordance with
the association's mandatory performance standard.
