(NAPSI)—For their own peace of mind, home owners should get their heating an cooling systems cleaned by members of NADCA, who must comply with a strict Code of Ethics. Some homeowners have been taken by what’s known as “blow-and-go” air duct cleaning—but you don’t have to be. These companies charge what seems a nominal fee but do a very poor job. They may ask you to pay extra for unneeded services and even pretend to be members of NADCA.
Protect Yourself Six Ways
- Ask the contractor which components will be cleaned.
- Verify that the contractor will limit the release of dust, dirt and debris into your home during the cleaning.
- Make certain the contractor will use both agitation and vacuum collection.
- Ask the contractor to inform you if any chemicals will be used and to provide a safety data sheet for them.
- Have the contractor provide proof of proper licenses.
- To ensure that the company you hire is indeed a NADCA member, look it up in NADCA’s Find a Professional Directory or verify membership at info@nadca.com.
To be NADCA members, companies must:
- Have at least one NADCA-certified Air Systems Cleaning Specialist
- Maintain general liability insurance
- Clean according to NADCA Standards
- Comply with NADCA’s Code of Ethics.
