When it comes to air duct cleaning, you want a company you can trust. Unfortunately, some companies make big promises but don’t deliver, leaving homeowners frustrated—and sometimes worse off than before. Here's how to protect yourself and avoid falling victim to air duct cleaning scams.
Don't Pay Before the Service
A big red flag is a company that asks for payment upfront. Reputable companies will never ask for payment before the work is completed. At Ducts Air Duct Cleaning, you pay after we’ve finished the job.
Ask What’s Included in the Price
Some companies lure you in with a low initial price, only to upsell unnecessary services once they arrive at your home. To avoid this, make sure you know exactly what’s included in the price they quote. A trustworthy company will provide a clear breakdown of services without trying to sneak in extra charges.
Look for Before and After Photos
A reliable air duct cleaning service should provide visual proof of the work they've done. At Ducts Air Duct Cleaning, we take before and after photos of your air ducts so you can see the difference firsthand. This ensures you're getting what you pay for and that the cleaning has been done thoroughly.
Verify the Company’s Credentials
Always check if the company follows cleaning guidelines by reputable organizations like the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA). Our the technicians are trained and follow industry standards. You can also check online reviews to see what previous customers have to say.
Be Wary of "Too Good to Be True" Deals
If a company offers prices that seem too low to be true, it’s a red flag. Scammers often use ultra-low prices to get a foot in the door, then upsell you on unnecessary services or leave your ducts half-cleaned. Trustworthy companies offer fair pricing that reflects the quality of their work.
Choose a Trusted Professional
Avoiding scams is easy when you work with a company you can trust. At Ducts Air Duct Cleaning, we’re transparent about our process, pricing, and results. Call us today for a personalized estimate and let us take care of your air ducts the right way—no tricks, just clean air.
