Duct cleaning

We were very pleased with the job done by the Duct Cleaning Specialists. We found the company on Homestars, and when I called Paul he was able to give me a very clear sense of what the process would involve and how much it would cost. We were able to make an appointment for a few days later. Paul and his associate, Steve, turned up on time and worked quickly and professionally during the entire job. They took great care to keep an eye on our cats and left the house as neat and tidy as they had found it. Our ducts had been cleaned before we bought the house, in theory, but they had been badly neglected, and the amount of detritus Paul and Steve removed was truly astonishing. They also cleaned our dryer vent and our downstairs bathroom fan for free. Paul also made sure to point out to us a couple of problems with our furnace and hot water heater (one quite serious), which we would never have known about otherwise.

In short, it was a wonderful experience working with them from start to finish, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to our friends.

Hi Angela, it was a pleasure meeting you the other day. Thanks for taking time to do a review on your experience with us and our work. As I say over and over again, there are many companies out there, yet only a few are certified, so finding the amount of dust and contaminants in the ductwork is not surprising. Also, having your hot water tank exhaust not venting to the outside, rather venting into the furnace directly beside the return air intake, is definitely a major concern that needed to be addressed for obvious reasons. Also, taking the time to inspect your dryer and clean out the lint trap, not perform an actual cleaning, is always done as a courtesy, but appreciate you recognizing that in your review. All in all, I am glad you were happy with our service, and look forward to doing it again in a few years. All the best, Paul

Dryer vent cleaning and repair

It was an absolute pleasure working with Paul and The Duct Cleaning Specialists team. Professional, courteous and knowledgeable, they kept us involved throughout the entire process and kept the disruption to our practice minimal.

While the job turned out to be more involved than either party had predicted, Paul and his associate dilligently repaired the poor and potentially dangerous workmanship of the previous contractor.

I would absolutely refer The Duct Cleaning Specialists to anyone and everyone. I received an educational breakdown of their process as well as quality work - for which we are happy to maintain a working relationship with Paul and his team.

To the staff at Physio FX: Thank you for considering us for the project (although we were not their 1st choice, they had called a company out for a quote, but failed to provide one) obviously that company did not care about the work so we thank them for their tardyness. Upon arrival to perform a typical dryer vent cleaning, we noticed that the ductwork was not fastened. Before we were able to start, we actually had to properly fasten the entire ducting. We were then able to properly clean the system, install a new flex hose for the dryer, so the unit can run efficient as possible. We hope to have a service contract in place with this company, and the start of a long lasting business relationship. Thanks again to Jamie and the staff at Physio FX for choosing us. Your business is greatly appreciated. Paul

Whole House Duct Cleaning & Furnace Cleaning

After much searching, and reading the reviews on HomeStars, I finally decided on the Duct Cleaning Specialists to clean the ducts and furnace in my home. The owner Paul Hannah personally did the work and he was a true professional from the moment he walked in through the door, until he cleaned up afterwards and left.

Paul set up his equipment, and carefully went through cleaning each vent in the house. He explained what his equipment did, and how it cleaned deep down into the heart of the ducts. He also took the time to clean the furnace, noting that the blower was off balance and so it's blade was warping. He took the time to clean the blower as well, and realigned it back into position.

Paul then followed through on an inspection and noted that there was no proper airflow reaching one of the vents on the ground floor due to a gap between two joints in the basement ductwork. Not only did he seal that gap, but he took the extra time to inspect the whole duct system to find any other small gaps that could be releasing air to prevent proper airflow, and hence be increasing my heating bills. He sealed these small gaps as well. This was a much appreciated energy saving service.

I was very pleased with both the work and helpful service, and i look forward to my family enjoying a healthy home from here on in.

Nice job Paul and the Duct Cleaning Specialists.....would highly recommend you to others!

Duct and furnace cleaning

I found the duct cleaning specialist on home stars about two weeks ago and I proceeded to call Paul and booked an appointment for this week. He and steve showed up on time, was courteous and professional throughout the whole cleaning process. He explained everything that he was doing in detail. he clean my ducts and the furnace was an extra $45 which wasn't a surprise. this house was purchased about 10 years ago and we have never clean the ducts, ever. This was long overdue and now its squeaky clean. I have absolutley no complaints. I will definitely use their services again in the future. Thanks again paul and steve.

long overdue duct cleaning

My wife and I are just wrapping up a kitchen reno and figured now would be a good time to get the ducts cleaned. And boy did they need it. So I simply googled duct cleaning, clicked on Paul's company, checked his HomeStars rating on here and saw all the positive reviews. One email with a follow-up voicemail and Paul immediately responded and we set a date. He showed up right on time, thoroughly explained the process, covered all flooring that needed to be, removed shoes when they should be and had the job completed in a little under 3 hours. Ducts are all squeaky clean and blowing like the wind.

Hiring people to perform work on your house is always a leap of faith and dealing with Paul on this was quite simply painless. Polite, professional, thorough and conscientious.

Very glad we found Paul for this project....I highly recommend him. 10+

Hey Tim, thanks for writing up a review here for me. Appreciate the kind words. Having the job done properly makes a huge difference, as you have noticed with the air flow in the vents and overall air quality in the home. Especially with having a renovation recently completed, getting all the crap out is important. Glad you were happy with my service, and look forward to doing it all again in a couple years. Keep on top of the maintenance on your HVAC equipment and keep things running as efficient as possible. Thanks again to you and your wife for your business, it is greatly appreciated. All the best. Paul

Duct cleaning services

Very professional and very thorough. Highly recommend Paul and his team. If you're skeptical about what actually happens during a duct cleaning service, watch the video on the company's website. Also, Paul will explain the services performed very clearly...

duct cleaning & el. air cleaner service

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! 10+++++
Superb communications via email and phone - quick and professional responses (even while Paul was on vacation). Showed on time, spent 4-5 hours of hard and intensive labour, even cleaning some leftovers from the previous duct-cleaning contractor. For the first time ever after duct cleaning the in-house air has no odor any more - good job Paul!
Helped with the old electronic air-cleaner, too. This summer I will use The Duct Cleaning Specialists again for the A/C service.
I am glad I've finally found a good, quality and reliable duct/furnace/AC service and plan to keep it for long time.

Hey Peter, thanks for the kind words. There was free wi-fi at my resort, so I was able to check and respond to emails quite often, otherwise I would have came home and had plenty to catch up on, but I enjoyed the vacation very much. Like I've said before, when the job is done properly, you will notice the difference, as you have. Also, hope your EAC is working more efficient. A good professional cleaning every few years is highly recommended. Thanks again for your business, it is greatly appreciated. Looking forward to being of service when needed. Thanks again. All the best to you and Mila. Paul

Duct and furnace cleaning

When Paul and Steve cleaned our ducts and furnace two weeks ago, my husband and I thought they went above and beyond. They were on time, professional and friendly, and explained everything about the process to us.

Our house was recently renovated, so the ducts were full of sawdust (in addition to the 10+ years of dust that the previous owners had left in the ducts and furnace). Having them cleaned has mad a huge difference. I noticed the lemon scent that another reviewer mentioned, but in our case the sent wasn't strong and was gone in less than 24 hours. We will go with these guys for future cleanings as well. 100 % recommended!

Hey Kim, thanks for doing a review. It makes a difference when a job is done properly as opposed to some goof coming in and making noise. As you said, everyone has a difference smell threshold, and while one customer may notice the scent for a few days, it usually disappates after a few hours. Looking forward to being of service again in a few years, and in the meantime, we can keep up to date on the maintenance of the furnace, humidifier and filters, to keep the system running as efficient as possible. All the best, Paul

cleaning really dirty ducts

Paul was very responsive to my initial enquiry. They were on time and very accomodating. The work Paul and Steve did was excellent. So why a "9" rating? If I am nitpicking, there were two ducts that still had the blue sticker wrap on it after they left. Paul mentioned the smell was eco friendly disinfectant that would disappear in a few hours. It took about two days to fully disappear. I had to open the windows so my wife could sleep. The next morning, I opened all the windows in the house, turned on the furnance fan and left for a few hours to let the house air out. Had I known the smell would have taken a few days to dissipate, I would have made arrangements for my wife to sleep at her parents. Each person has a different tolerance to the smell. I didn't mind it but my wife has a much more sensitive nose. That said, the ducts look very clean and there were some other value add services that Paul provided such as providing and changing the filter on my humidifier. According to Paul my ducts haven't been properly cleaned since the house was built (50 years ago). I will use the Duct Cleaning Specialists again in the future.

Hey Steve, thanks for doing a review. Appreciate your business, and looking forward to doing it all again in a few years. Hope your central vac ended up working fine. Just empty out the cannister every couple months so it doesn't clog up like it was. Thanks again for your business, Paul
