What should you look for in an air duct cleaning company here in the Fargo-Moorhead area? Although there are many companies to choose from, large and small, here are some tips that can help you make the right decision.
Tip No. ° 1- Ask how the company cleans its air ducts and its oven. Air duct cleaning simply involves removing dust and dirt from the ducts of your heating and cooling system, along with the oven itself. Some companies use pressurized air and a vacuum to suck up dust, other companies use a high-tech cable / brush system to “clean” dust from their system with powerful vacuums that suck up dust and debris.
Tip # 2- Ask WHO will do the job. This is important. If the company you choose is extremely large, they may send a new or newly trained employee / technician to your home to clean. This may be fine for some jobs, but sometimes these technicians don’t pay attention to the details needed to get their heating / cooling systems really clean. Other businesses have the owner / operator and perhaps the business partners doing the work, which generally results in much better bottom line results.
Tip # 3- Ask for a firm quote. Make sure you get a firm quote from the company before they do the job. Most businesses in the Fargo-Moorhead area provide a free air duct cleaning consultation, but be sure to ask when you call. Beware of companies that advertise a very low price. Often times these are “bait and switch” offers that may end up costing you more than expected because they will try to “sell” you additional services that should probably already be included in the price. Some companies not only offer a free estimate in advance, but also give you a video camera inspection so you can see exactly what condition your air duct system is in.
Tip # 4- Ask for references. This is good because any company that does a good job should have satisfied customers that they are willing to refer to. Beware of companies that do not provide this information easily.
These four tips should provide you with the information and questions you need to ask when calling an air duct cleaning company in the Fargo-Moorhead area. This will help you find the right company and get the best service available.
