Your company’s membership in NADCA supports the initiatives needed to collectively grow and advance the air duct cleaning industry, and ultimately drive more business to you, our NADCA member. Membership has incredible return on investment, and provides so many tools for growing your business.

If you’re already a member, hopefully you’re taking advantage of all of the benefits of NADCA membership. If you’re thinking of joining, read on — the benefits of membership are practically endless!

Customer Referrals
Each year, thousands of consumers visit the NADCA’s Find a Professional Directory, generating business for our members through website referrals. NADCA member listings not only include a company profile and contact information for your business, but also the details on certified personnel and how long your business has been a member. Referrals are perhaps the most powerful tool our members can take advantage of.

Increased Market Demand for Your Services
NADCA membership dues support a full-time, dedicated marketing manager who promotes the importance of NADCA membership and certifications in commercial project bid specifications. Nearly 17,000 specifiers, engineers, and architects have the NADCA General Specification, and are aware of the importance of specifying NADCA membership and certification in bid specifications. This means more business for NADCA members.

Internationally-Recognized Certifications
NADCA membership provides significant discounts on training and certification exams including the Air Systems Cleaning Specialist (ASCS) Certification and the Certified Ventilation Inspector (CVI) Certification. ASCS certification enhances one’s professional development, and is recognized world-wide for knowledge and skills related to HVAC system hygiene; while CVI certification is an advanced certification developed to recognize industry professionals who are highly skilled in HVAC system inspection.

Industry-Leading Training and Education
Developing your company's personnel is one of the best investments you can make. NADCA members receive significant discounts on all levels of NADCA training and education, helping you and your technicians provide quality service in accordance with NADCA standards. NADCA offers all sorts of training, both in-person and online. For instance, NADCA offers in-person training related to both industry and business topics at our Annual Meeting and Fall Technical Conference; and our convenient online training and webinars allow our members and technicians to train in the comfort of their own home or office. NADCA’s Fall Technical Conference provides a unique, hands-on learning experience for both entry-level and advanced technicians, while our online-based Ventilation Maintenance Technician (VMT) training program is geared toward new technicians, and provides education on the most important aspects of HVAC system cleaning. NADCA on-demand webinars and online training help you conveniently and affordably access practical information, from blueprint reading and estimating; to cleaning internally lined ductwork, restoring coils, and home/building performance contracting.
