Duct Cleaning, the Pros and Cons
First the Pros:
* Source Removal - If you get rid of the “source”, you will get rid of the problem.
* Clean Air - It only stands to reason; if your ducts are clean the furnace and air conditioner won’t blow it around your home.
* Health Benefits - Ask any allergist, or allergy sufferer.
* Very Affordable - For as little as $99 you could have all the air ducts in your home cleaned.
Fast and Efficient - With two duct cleaners, the process should take less than an hour for a typical home with just one furnace.
* No Haggling Over Prices - Unlike other domestic services, duct cleaning should be easy to bid over the phone. Nowadays, most duct cleaning companies will give you a price quote over the phone.
Now the Cons:
* Duct Cleaning Cost - How clean is “clean”? Duct cleaning prices range from $69 - $1,000. This creates a lot of confusion, because the typical homeowner can’t inspect the work.
* Discount Duct Cleaning - Beware of any company offering $10 off, or $50 off. What is the real duct cleaning cost? Ask $10 off of what price?
* Per Vent Pricing - Most homeowners are unaware that their home may have 15-30 vents. Even at $10 per vent, this ads up fast.
* Duct Cleaning Scams - As in any business, duct cleaning companies will pop up from time to time and try to take advantage of unsuspecting homeowners.
* Incomplete Cleaning Methods - Look for companies that will give you a “Whole House Price”. You should be able to provide basic information about your heating and cooling system over the phone and get a price quote. If the duct cleaning company wants to come out to your home to give you a bid, hang onto your wallet!
