Another Air Duct Cleaning Scam Reported

Here at Super Duct Cleaning, we take the time to regularly remind our readers about air duct cleaning scams. There are several quality air duct cleaning companies that have integrity and do honest work. However, unfortunately, there are also several other companies that are only trying to scam people. These companies have no intention of doing any real work; they are just looking to take good people’s money.

For example, in May of this year in Washington D.C., a dirty duct cleaning company was uncovered after they were found to be offering a duct cleaning coupon for $89. A resident there tried to use the coupon but when the technician showed up he told the customer that she had a very bad mold problem and then tried to charge her more than a thousand dollars to do the work.

The first clue that this was a scam was the coupon for $89. There is no way that you can get a real air duct cleaning for only $89. Any time a coupon sounds too good to be true it probably is. This is one of the most common scams that shady air duct cleaning companies use. They promise a cut rate, but then jack up the price once they arrive at your house. They claim to find a bunch of problems that probably don’t exist and then charge you for work that they don’t intend to do.

Don’t fall for one of these scams. Instead, contact a trusted and reliable air duct cleaning company in the Vancouver and Portland area.

Hospital Operating Room Shut Down Due to Rusty Ducts

How bad can air ducts really be? Can they get so dirty that they can actually affect your health and your quality of life? The short answer is yes. Dirty air ducts can be the source of a lot of allergens and pollutants and those nasty things pass through your ducts and then throughout your home or office, leaving you breathing very dirty air. The negative affects are very real.

In fact, earlier this year, a hospital in Virginia had to shut down its operating rooms indefinitely after dangerous rust particles were found falling from the air ducts. The problem was first discovered in February at the Northport Veterans Affairs Medical Center. A few of the rooms were reopened temporarily but were shut down a short time later. All of the operating rooms were shut down in April.

This is just one example of dangerous debris passing through air ducts and then moving into a location where people are affected. Over time, air ducts get dirty and without regular maintenance and cleaning that debris builds up and makes a real mess. Not only is it dirty, but it can be harmful to your health. Getting your air ducts cleaned on a regular basis is a smart idea, not matter where you live or work. If you need your air ducts cleaned in the Vancouver or Portland area then contact an experienced air duct cleaning company.
