Are you interested in getting your ducts cleaned and not sure where to go for a reputable company to perform the work.  Here are some questions to ask yourself before you get started.

• Where do you start?
• Why do companies seem to be all over the map on pricing?
• What will you get for the money you spent?

These are all valid questions and it’s understandable why consumers may have questions.The first piece of advice when looking for an duct cleaning company is to consider your choices. While you can find some really low prices you need to beware.

The National Air Duct Cleaners Association is a group which maintains certain guidelines and standards.  Choosing a NADCA member is a great first step as it insures the company meets there minimum standards which should eliminate all the fly by nights.

Next check to see if these businesses are members of the Better Business Bureau. Look for customer testimonials or references of prior work.  Just because there are complaints or no complaints is not a sure way to check a company.  Some large reputable companies will have complaints no matter what, you just can please everyone.  Other tiny companies might not have anything, they are to new.  Instead, look first at how long they have been a member of the BBB as well as what their grade is.  These are much more helpful benchmarks for this site.

Next, make sure they quote the price of work before they begin.  If they start tacking on extra charges, beware!  This is a common tactic of scammers or unscrupulous companies.
