Protecting Your Family’s Health With Improved Indoor Air Quality
According to the American Lung Association, indoor air can be anywhere from 2 to 100 times more polluted than outdoor air. They also estimate that we spend the majority of our time indoors. Poor indoor air quality impacts everyone in the home, but is most threatening to those who may have underlying health issues. You can’t control air quality at school, work, when shopping or outdoors, but you can make a difference at home. One key way to do this is to take advantage of residential duct cleaning services.
Clean Air America is committed to protecting your family with our expert duct cleaning services. But we know that for as many honest and professional companies there are, there are just as many predatory operations looking to scam honest homeowners. These educational videos will arm you with the knowledge you need to avoid falling prey to air duct cleaning scams, while also demonstrating why you can trust Clean Air America. Please contact us with any questions and to learn more about our offerings.
Don’t Fall Victim To Fraud
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) wants homeowners and consumers to be aware of the potential for fraud in ads for duct cleaning services. Oftentimes, as shown in the video, printed or digital ads will offer a low price for what seems to be a comprehensive duct cleaning service. However, when a potential customer calls to inquire, they learn that there are hidden fees and that the service is only partial, at best. Unfortunately, consumers may have already paid upfront and not received the expected services, or may receive extra charges after the fact and be bullied into paying them. This kind of predatory behavior is shameful and leads to American consumers losing substantial amounts of hard earned money every year. Don’t risk it! Work with NADCA certified companies to ensure the best outcome.
Don’t Call A Carpet Cleaner (to Clean Your Air Ducts)
Excessive dusting, allergies, and respiratory issues are all signs of poor indoor air quality. Over time, your home’s ductwork can accumulate buildup from a variety of contaminants. Air duct cleaning is a regular home maintenance task that, if done regularly, can make a huge impact on your indoor air quality and health. If your family is experiencing chronic breathing issues, if you’re noticing musty odors, or if you’re finding yourself needing to dust more often than normal, dirty air ducts could be your core problem. Carpet cleaning companies may claim that they can solve this problem for you, but really it’s only by thoroughly cleaning your HVAC ductwork that you can relieve these symptoms.

Air Duct Cleaning by Clean Air America
At Clean Air America we use several techniques to get your home’s ductwork as clean as new. One very effective method is called the air whip. A perforated air nozzle is inserted into the duct system and compressed air is forced out of the small holes in the nozzle. This air pressure works to remove built up dirt and dust that is lodged within the ducts themselves. Removed debris is then vacuumed out using our Power Vacuum Trucks. Air whip duct cleaning is a more efficient way to clean ducts with zero abrasion or risk of damage. It works well for all styles of HVAC ductwork and is clearly an effective method.
Chris Hanson Files - Air Duct Cleaning Scams Part 2
Across the United States, unscrupulous companies are posing as professional duct cleaners and scamming unsuspecting customers. Older individuals on fixed incomes are common targets, but anyone can fall victim to these fraudsters. A printed or digital ad may state that a homeowner can have a whole house duct cleaning for a set, often low, price, but when the technicians show up, they often find a supposed issue that raises the cost substantially. Since they are already there and offer to do the work on the spot, a homeowner may feel pressured to agree, even if they cannot afford the hefty bill. Paying attention to signs and red flags is one way to prevent this, but ensuring that the company is registered with the National Air Duct Cleaners Association is the best way to know that they will do a thorough job and charge a fair price for their services.
