Duct Cleaning

I emailed Paul a week ago to schedule the duct cleaning for two houses. Paul completed the cleaning in Jeff’s house and then came to my house. After checking the return ductwork, Paul told me that my ductwork was not dirty enough and didn’t require a complete cleaning. He vacuumed the return ductwork and put on the sanitizer. And Paul didn’t even charge me for a penny. He asked me to go to his website and donate money to the charity instead of paying him. I am very impressed by his honesty and passion in supporting the community. I will definitely recommend him to all my friends.

HVAC duct cleaning

Steve from The Duct Cleaning Specialists spent about four hours thoroughly cleaning out our heating ducts. He was courteous and seemed to do a very thorough job. He also explained to me several aspects of the job before, during, or after it was done. He cut a large hole in the cold air return and four small ones in one of the heating trunks, connected a big indoor vacuum to the furnace and turned it on high - blowing air into my basement from the suction, but it filtered through a huge bag and there was no dust - and then went to each vent and used a blower to blow dust towards him where it was vacuumed with a shop vac, or towards the furnace where the fan picked it up (I'm afraid I don't understand quite how it works, but he showed me a ton of dust so I'm sure it did!)

This is a small, two-man team (Steve and Paul) and my understanding is they get all their business through word-of-mouth, unlike some of the bigger, shadier outfits that mostly do phone marketing.

My only issue is that he sold me (for a mere $5) a filter for my ground floor cold air return, and neither he nor I thought to check that it was big enough, and after he left I discovered it doesn't fit properly. Old houses like mine (1920's) tend to have larger cold air returns than newer ones, and this filter has 1" gaps on either side of the long sides.

Highly recommended, very professional.

$288.00
What could this company do to improve their services?
The cold air return filter was the wrong size - could have checked it was the right size before they gave it to me. But since it only cost $5 I'm not upset.
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Don't ever accept duct cleaning from someone who phones you or drops you a flyer. Ask your neighbors or friends who they have used and were satisfied with (or use recommendations like this one).

Hey Robin, thank you for writing a review. I am happy that you were more than pleased with our service. On a side note, regarding the return air filter for the large vent on the floor, we shoudl have installed 2 filters, and cut the 2nd one smaller.. although a 1" gap on both sides is not really going to make a whole lot of difference, if any. These filters are never going to be a perfect fit, especially with the older homes. None the less, if you would like me to swing by and cut some filter to fill the gap, I would be more than happy to. Otherwise, thanks again for your business, it is greatly appreciated. Paul

First rate service and professionalism

I emailed Paul to schedule a duct cleaning before Aug.27th so I can move in to a cleaner house, but he was going to attend the technical conference until Aug.29. I decided to wait for him until Sep.2nd. Turned out this is the best decision I've made. It is not the first time I had done duct cleaning, so I can tell the difference when Paul is doing his job. I almost felt socially responsible to write this review so we can see more young man like Paul in the future. He spent 3-4 hours in my 1200 sq.ft 60-year old bungalow, registrer by registrer. I can clearly hear those half century old debris being sucked through the pipe. When the job is done, both my wife and I can feel the difference as we've lived in this house for a week. There is no more pet smell or the classic old house odor. Thank you Paul, a job well done

Hi Alick, I am flattered with your review. I appreciate you holding off on the project until I returned from the seminar in Philadelphia. Glad you also had duct cleaning done previously, so you could see first hand the difference in how a job is done properly. I myself was quite impressed with the amount of debris that was in your system, and I must say, I truly enjoy doing homes like this. Congratulations again on your new-old home, and I hope all goes well for you and your family. Look forward to keeping your system maintained yearly. Thanks again for choosing us as your duct cleaning contractor, your business, is greatly appreciated. Paul

Duct Cleaning

Paul and Steve spent three hours cleaning ducts in my house on August 31, 2011. I just recently moved in to a new location and felt it was important to have my house as clean as possible. Paul answered all of my questions and gave me a deal on cleaning my bathroom exhaust vents. Steve was very friendly and seemed knowledgeable about a wide variety of subjects. I think he liked our pet rabbit. Anyway, Paul and Steve did an excellent job, and given they worked for three hours, I feel I got a deal on the service they provided. Paul concluded his visit by reminding me how often I should change my filters, and I was surprised to learn that he didn't recommend getting the ducts cleaned in my house every year. Clearly, he is very honest. I would not hesitate to recommend The Duct Cleaning Specialists.

Hey Aaron, glad we were finally able to get the work done for you, as you had bigger problems than the duct cleaning to tackle first. Doing a proper and thorough job takes time, and if we had to spend 6 hours, the job needs to be done properly, and thats is why you called us (hopefully, lol) I appreciate you taking the time to write a lengthy review about your experience with us, and glad to read that you were pleased with our service. Congrats again on the new home to you and your wife, all the best, and if I can be of any service, please feel free to contact me. Paul

Duct Cleaning 3 story house

I found this company on homestars and I called them along with few other ones. I needed service on a specific date / time to have the ducts cleaned (my daughter is allergic to cats) before we moved into our new home. Steve arrived early, was very well prepared, explained the job, showed me some areas of concern throughout. It took him approx 4.5 hrs to finish the job. Half way through I inconvenienced him because a fridge got delivered and he had to stop his equipment, move it and then re-set it up. He was very understanding and accommodating, which I really appreciated. He performed a few additional fixes related to air circulation, cleaned / replaced filters, etc. Overall great service, I'd happily recommend.

duct service

After a tennis sized ball fell into our vent I phoned and requested a full duct cleaning. But after looking at the main HVACarea Paul suggested that it wasn't neccessary, since there wasn't much accumulation. But Paul was determined to help remove that ball that was blocking air flow from one vent and was successful!! Paul was honest and just charged for a service call instead of a whole system cleaning!

Hey Linda, thanks for writing about your experience with me. Having the proper tools to do the job is important, but whether or not the job needs to be done, thats a different story. In this case, having recently had the ducts cleaned, there wasn't a need for another cleaning. I was up to the challenge however, to remove the tennis ball that was lodged in the ductwork, restricting air flow to the upstairs bedroom. Glad my tricks worked and was able to get it removed. Appreciate the considerations for having me out to get the work done, and hopefully in a couple years you call on me again. Enjoy the rest of the year, Paul
