Duct Cleaning Services: Department Store vs Private Business

Be careful to ask about the type of work a company does, before hiring them.

Department Store Cleaners

Many large stores offer duct cleaning. Before you begin, research EPA recommendations. Then, be sure that the people you hire are trained well. Although large stores may offer company reputation, they may try to sell you treatments you don't need. These companies are here to sell a service as part of their job. Be sure to set up an inspection first and have them provide you with a list of services and the cost of each service.
