How can one be sure they have employed the most upstanding hvac cleaning technician?

With mainly three different methods used to clean the air ducts in your home and prices fluctuating from $59 to $800, you the customer want to be well informed prior to contacting heating and air conditioning cleaning technicians.

So how come there is such a wide range in prices? The answer lies somewhere between customer preferences and business marketing techniques. For example, someone who is a very clean person that has just bought an old house from a homeowner that had several pets, may not be as concerned with the price. Rather, someone that just wants to get his or her ductwork cleaned because his or her neighbor just had it done, might only want to pay a minimal amount. heating and cooling cleaning technicians know this and will base their marketing around it.

So what are the different systems which heating and air conditioning cleaning technicians use? The most well-known methods include:

- Rotary vacuum/brushing, with camera
- Rotary vacuum/cleaning
- High-pressure air sweeping

Rotary vacuum brushing
If the homeowner or someone in your house suffers from severe allergies, you might want the reassurance which using the camera can give you. You will know for certain that all dust, debris and grime has been removed. But be prepared to pay a price! This system is very time consuming so the heating and air conditioning cleaning technician will not be able to see as many households per day. Typically, the heating and air conditioning cleaning technician will come out and give you the customer a bid. You the customer might want to reason at what point it is better to just replace the old air ducts with new!

High-Pressure Air -sweep
The air-wash system is low priced and less time consuming. But will it be effective enough in removing dust and dirt? Probably not. What if you have a newer house with new duct work which still has factory-processing oils inside it? Conversely, if you the customer just had your air ducts cleaned last year, it might not be as important to have such a detailed job done this time. These are questions only you the customer might answer. If you the customer are an extremely tidy person (have you been called a neatnik before?) the homeowner might be most happy with the camera system. Or, if the air ducts was recently cleaned, the homeowner might want to go with the high-pressure air-wash system. Most persons are somewhere in the middle. If the company you the customer hire is highly respectable and you the customer might trust the heating and air conditioning cleaning technician to do a good job, you might want to consider using the brush cleaning method (minus the camera) first. Later, once all the air ducts have been swept, you might convert to the lesser priced air-wash method.

Assuredly, cleaning your air ducts out, with or without a camera, or merely using the high-pressure air-wash method is better and healthier for you and your household than doing nothing at all. Either way, you will have peace of mind, knowing that decaying pet and rodent hair and fecal matter will not be floating around your facility. As the saying goes; 'If it's in the air, it will soon be in your lungs'.
