Finding Top Quality Duct Cleaning in Ontario

If your home relies on central ductwork for moving air around your Ontario home, it’s important to have periodic duct cleanings. Otherwise, dirt and grime – and other nasty materials – will build up in your ducts, and eventually start getting spewed around your home. Clogged ducts will also reduce your heating/cooling efficiency, wasting energy while decreasing your climate control.

Unfortunately, it can be tough to find good duct cleaning service in Ontario, as it’s a somewhat specialized service that requires specific tools. Plus, it’s a service you shouldn’t pay that much for. So here are the important things to look for when you start searching.

What You Want in An Ontario Duct Cleaning Service

1. Full licensing, certification, and insurance

Never allow a duct cleaning service to work on your home unless they are fully licensed and permitted for the work. Also, it’s important that they carry insurance. Otherwise, any damage done – or any harm from accidents – could become your responsibility to pay for!

2. A long history

There are plenty of HVAC startups that don’t last long, including companies offering duct cleaning services. If the company has only been in business a few years, they don’t have enough of a history to fully trust. Look for a service that has at least a decade of solid work, and you’ll know they’ve proven themselves.

3. Strong reviews

Whenever looking at HVAC companies for duct cleaning, or anything else, be sure to read their reviews. Ideally, you should check multiple sites, including places like Google and Yelp. If a company has less than a 4/5 rating, chances are there’s something wrong and you should look for a service with better reviews.

4. Fair price quotes

Don’t settle on the first company you call. Whenever hiring for any home HVAC service, it’s a good idea to get at least three quotes from different companies. Then you can compare them to see what the prices look like. Stay away from lowball bids; they’ll almost always cut corners, and potentially cause more problems than they fix.

In some cases, competing bids can even be used as leverage, if there’s one company you want to work with, but you want them to lower their price a bit.

5. Fast service

You shouldn’t have to wait weeks for a service appointment, especially if your ducts are already overdue for cleaning. If they can’t get to you within a few days, maybe a week, you should probably look for another service that’s less busy. (They’ll probably charge less too!)
