Making sure your ducts are done right

When it’s time to have your home’s air handling unit—your air conditioning unit or furnace—cleaned, it’s important to make sure you’re hiring a reputable company. The Breathing Clean initiative was created by the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) to educate homeowners about the benefits of air duct cleaning and increase awareness about the importance of hiring a NADCA member company to perform the service.

The Homeowner's Guide to Air Duct Cleaning

Do your homework

Start by using the Homeowner’s Guide to Air Duct Cleaning. This interactive (and printable) piece was designed to make it easy to understand the air duct cleaning process and help you make sure the job is done right.

When looking to hire an air duct cleaning company, be on the lookout for those whose advertised prices seem too good to be true. Beyond the pricing issues, incomplete and unprofessional work on air duct systems could damage the integrity of your HVAC system.
