How Long Does Air Duct Cleaning Take? Michigan Duct Cleaning

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Many people wonder how long air duct cleaning should take.  This depends on a number of factors such as the size of your home, accessibility of the ductwork, equipment of the company you hire and the experience of the technicians.  In Michigan the average sized home is roughly 1800 sq feet containing one furnace.  This size home (if cleaned by Amistee) should take roughly 2-3 hours to clean with two technicians.  It is important to know that if you hire Amistee to clean your ductwork, you will get the best equipment and highest trained employees.  We offer a real guarantee on all the work we do.  It is simple,  we care.

Duct cleaning is an industry where scams unfortunately are everywhere.  Companies may say they are using powerful equipment but are they using a vacuum truck?  Inferior equipment such as a shop vac or portable equipment mounted in a trailer or van may add to the cleaning time.  Training is key to the proper cleaning.  At Amistee we are serious about air duct cleaning and that is why training and experience are crucial.  If you hire a company that does not have the proper training this may also add to the cleaning time.

Air Duct Cleaning In A New Home

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Is air duct cleaning only for homes that are 20 or 30 years of age?  Of course not!  Many customers see the ads with pictures showing a build up of debris inside of the ductwork that looks like carpet.  They understand that this is from many years of contaminants cycling through the heating and cooling system.  The duct system is  the lungs of a home and it is breathing WHATEVER is inside the living space.  This includes when the house is being built.

What usually happens when a house is being built in Michigan is that the frame goes up.  After this happens all of the internal components come together and part of this is the drywall.  With this being Michigan, the furnace and ductwork is installed at the same time to help “cure” the drywall and keep the workers warm.  As a result, whatever is going on during the building process (sanding, cutting wood, cutting tile) is sucked into the duct system for your family to breath when you move in.

Many homeowners call us months after moving in with one of two responses.  The first is that they have a tremendous amount of dust that they can not get rid of (no matter how clean they are) and the second is that their allergies are driving them CRAZY.    Without cleaning the ductwork properly you are victim to your builders debris.

Choosing The Right Contractor for Air Duct Cleaning

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

When you are having anyone enter your home to perform a service you should be aware and take a few steps before allowing any work to be done.

  • Is the company licensed to perform the air duct cleaning or insulation install?
  • Are the workers coming into your home safe?  (have they had a background check) Duct cleaners see EVERY room of your house.  We do work for the Michigan State Police, County Jails etc.
  • Will the workers let you watch what they are doing and ask questions?  You are paying them and they work for YOU!  We invite our customers to watch.  We are excited about what we do and want to share that with you.
  • Is the company going to protect your home during the duct cleaning?  WE WILL!
  • Will the company show you pictures of what the ducts look like afterwards??  This is the MOST important step.  Ask to see proof of what they did.  Many companies can “talk” but do they really perform the service promised?  We will gladly show you what your air ducts look like.
  • Will the price stay the same as quoted?  We NEVER change our air duct cleaning or insulation price from the quoted price.  It just is not fair and we would not want to be treated that way.
  • Will the company solve your problems so you can breath better and dust less?  Amistee has results from thousands of homes and customers.

How do I Choose the Right Contractor?

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

When looking to hire a contractor, how do you know you are getting Quality service?

Will you get honest and up-front answers?

Will the company stand behind their work?

Trust – It is the most important word in the service Industry.  At Amistee Air duct cleaning we make Trust and customer service our top priority.

A few things to keep in mind when looking to hire a contractor for a job at your home:

1.  Have you seen any of the company’s work?

2.  Is the price of the project in line with the market?

3.  Do research your project before you get quotes.  Find out, at least generally, the correct way your project should be completed.  Find out what industry standards are; and what is a “no-no” under any circumstances.

4.  Do get competitive bids.  Calling two or three contractors is usually sufficient

5. Don’t take the lowest bid offered; thinking you will be getting the best deal.  Be leery of any contractor eager to bid lower than everyone else. It is common practice for less-reputable contractors to have “hidden costs” they spring on you later in the project.

6.  Don’t get too obsessed with negotiating. Contractors often pay high insurance and overhead costs, especially if they have employees. They want to work for you, but if you want a high-quality product, keep in mind that a reputable contractor with good references will walk away from your project if he thinks you are under-valuing his skills.

Your home is your castle; your safe haven.  You deserve the best service and trust from all who enter.

Amistee Air Duct Cleaning in Novi, guarantees their work and stands behind their service.  Our technicians are fully trained and background checked for your peace of mind and safety.

Is that Smell coming from my Air Ducts?

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

There are so many questions to ask when wondering why the air inside of your home is not as fresh as it should be.  This is where Amistee Air Duct cleaning steps in.  It’s difficult to tell where that smell in the Air Ducts might be coming from.

Your home should be your haven, your comfort zone; a place to relax at the end of the day.  With all of the changing seasons in Michigan, many people stay inside to enjoy the air conditioning or warmth during the winter.

Has the house sat unoccupied for a while?  Have you heard noises inside of the ductwork?  Do you have pets or did the previous owner?  Are you experiencing unusually high dust inside of your home?  Are your allergies more severe?

Amistee has encountered things inside of the ductwork from ordinary to strange and everything in between.  How does a full pair of snow boots end up inside of the ductwork, Pet hair, Animals?

Most interesting is our Air Duct pets.  These are the little guys who find a home inside of someone’s ductwork.  They might be looking for a warm place in the winter or just the smallest opening in the ducts.

But Heating & Cooling Air Ducts are not the only “duct” to be affected by animals.  We experience a large number of birds that build nest inside of Dryer Vents.  The dryer duct opening is the perfect size for a nest and the birds will stay warm with each use of the dryer.  The long term concern is the dryer slowing down and not working properly.  After Amistee completely cleans out a bird nest from the Dryer Vent, we can install a vent cap or bird cage to prevent future feathered residents.

The strength of our vacuum truck and powerful cleaning tools can remove all visible dirt, debris and items from inside of your Air Duct System or your Dryer Vent.  Amistee Air Duct Cleaning provides service to residential and commercial customers.  No job is too big or too small.

Whether you live between Monroe to Flint, or Jackson to Harrison – Amistee Air Duct cleaning is just a phone call away 248-349-8877, Novi Michigan.  We can bring your home back to life with a cleaning of the Air Ducts.

Breathe clean, live happy..
