When it comes to duct cleaning certifications the National Air Duct Cleaners Association is it. NADCA offers several certifications for companies to get including ASCS (Air Systems Cleaning Specialist) and CVI (Commercial Ventilation Inspector) and technician training certification. In the State of Michigan all duct cleaning companies need to hold a Mechanical Contractors license by law in order to properly clean air ducts. When looking for the best air duct cleaner in your area, check www.NADCA.com to see if your potential vent cleaning company is affiliated with NADCA and also check with the State of Michigan or ask your prospect company for the mechanical contractors number. These are both great first steps to ensure you get a company who is taking the proper steps in delivering quality duct cleaning.
Once you have checked NADCA affiliation and state licensing, check with your local BBB or go to www.BBB.org and perform a company search to check past history. This will help prevent you from getting scammed by local air duct cleaning companies that take advantage of consumers who have not done their homework. It is always best to also ask for references or a list of past clients in your area. Finding a quality duct cleaning company for your Michigan home can be a grueling task but will be worth every penny. Duct cleaning is a service that works if it is performed properly.

How Long Does Air Duct Cleaning Take? Michigan Duct Cleaning
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.
Choosing The Right Contractor for Air Duct Cleaning
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.
