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.

Air Duct Cleaning in Michigan and NADCA

Air Duct Cleaning is a large breeding ground for companies who take advantage of homeowners both young and old.  It is an industry where you can not really see what has been done, or can you?  As a homeowner you own the ducts and it is YOUR home,  so you deserve to see what is being done or not done when you hire a contractor.  At Amistee we will show you before and after pictures of your ductwork.  This will prove to you what we have done.  We will invite you into the work area and show you exactly what was done and provide you with any recommendations.  We will show you pictures of any area of your duct system, not just one if you wish.

The National Air Duct Cleaners Association is a nonprofit trade association dedicated to setting standards and guidelines within the air duct cleaning industry.  When a system is maintained properly, most homes duct systems only need cleaning every 3-5 years.  If you decide that it is time to hire a contractor, RESEARCH RESEARCH RESEARCH.

Once you find a contractor make sure that they are going to clean the entire heating and cooling system.  This is not just the visible ducts,  this is ALL of the components which is from each register back through the furnace.  Many companies do not touch/clean the furnace.  They will also only clean a portion of the ducts.  Please, if you are going to spend any amount of money make sure it is done properly and by a reputable company.
