Angie's List: Don't get caught in an air duct cleaning scam

Many air duct cleaning companies will offer low rates and then come in and find problems that don't exist.

I get paid 60 per furnace and we charge 250. So there's no way anyone charges 50.

lol "Angies advises staying away from anyone saying you have to take immediate action". That is EXACTLY how they themselves act when they call service providers to signup, one call closes no call backs or time to think.... makes you think

Quality companies will provide real time video before and after. Good duct cleaning runs about 200-350. No such thing as a coupon deal.

If you do not sign a contract for the amount, you owe them NOTHING. They can upsell you all they want, if it is not what was agreed upon, they can pound sand. And you cannot do it all in an hour.

Man these scams make it hard for people that actually do this for a living

Angies list won't even let you complain about a very bad place unless you sign up to be a member!!! You would think exposeing bad businesses would be a prioreity if they were legit!!!

I need to use negative air pressure cleaning because I have fiberglass dust in my vents from a foam bed that leaked it and the dryer made it almost microscopic. It took months to clean my house and get my pets health better

A duct cleaner is not a licensed mold assessor or industrial hygienists they aren't even allowed to say anything is mold unless tested by a professional.

Funny Angie's list or aka scamgies list is the real scam. Same as scamadvisor

[NackDSP]

The contractors I've hired from Angie's list have all been horrible. Leave a bad review and it gets pulled. I will never use Angie again.

Angies list was a horrible example to partner with, they are just out for the buck lol

HVAC tech here. Duct cleaning is a complete scam. Look inside your ducts. They're all spotless. Air travels through a filter and an evap coil before the ducts. The cleaners bring a big vacuum that pushes are theough the ducts to clean them? Isn't that what your blower does? Think about it.
