Secondly

Most people aren't very aware of how dirty the ducts of their heating and air conditioning systems can actually get, let alone what to look for in a company that will come in and perform the cleaning service for them. Cleaning the air duct system of your home is not something that you have to worry about every six months or even every year, some families go much beyond this before having a service come out and take care of the cleaning for them. Dust, dirt, dead bugs and lord knows what else build up in your duct work over time and along with the changes in climate and levels of humidity; this can cause mold and mildew to form in the ducts of your system. This is important to take care of, but what should you look for in an air duct cleaning service to know that you are getting the best company for the job. Firstly - you'll want a company that's licensed, bonded and insured. This way you'll be assured that the servicemen have been properly trained to perform the work that you need done and that, in the unlikely event that something should go wrong, that the business has the insurance to protect whatever property of yours happens to have been damaged. An un-licensed contractor may very well quote you a lower price when it comes to servicing your heating and air conditioning system, but you'll end up paying many times over when the job turns into disaster and there is no coverage for whatever happens to your home. Secondly - you'll want a company that uses the proper equipment. A good company will likely have the absolute state of the art air duct cleaning equipment on every service truck that they put on the road. It requires a lot more than just a shop-vac to properly clean a heating and air conditioning system, you don't want someone with shoddy ineffective equipment charging you money to simply go though the motions of the cleaning without really removing any of the dirt and filth that is clogging up your ducts.
