Q. What are the benefits of having my HVAC air ducts cleaned in my home? What's the approximate cost (home is 2300 sq. ft)? Is this something I could do myself for less?

A. The benefits are you will be breathing cleaner air.. You may be amazed on what you could find in your duct.. You could do it yourself. But unless you have a very very powerful vacuum and a very long air hose. It will take you forever. Its best just to hire it out. The guys that do it, know what they are doing, and they do it well. I think most of them set the price by how much duct there is, and how many supply and Return air runs there is. Call around to a few different companies, and get some estimates. Good Luck

Q. My coils are soooo dirty from an improperly placed filter, and ignorance of not knowing to change it frequently enough. My furnace guy left me in the dark. I had a HVAC company do a check up and my coils are dirty. They charge $195. My ducts are also very dirty, and may have not been cleaned since the house was built, 30+ years, so I would like to get those cleaned also. I called an air duct cleaning company, and they offered to also clean the coils in my furnace for only $75. They offered a cheaper quote because of the convenience of already being in my home for the duct cleaning. Are they qualified to do such a job? Should I worry about them doing it correctly? I would love to go with them and save over a hundred dollars. Anyone who is HVAC certified that can give me a good reason not to use the duct-cleaning company, please let me know. Has anyone had their furnace coils cleaned by a duct-cleaning company?

A. While most duct cleaning company's do not have heating and air conditioning techs on staff, the job of cleaning the coils on the secondary heat exchanger is not a very technical job. The reason the HVAC company gave you such a high quote is that it IS a very long process and can take several hours. I have been a residential heating and air tech for about 14 years and have cleaned hundreds of them. It is far from rocket science. On the other hand I have seen some duct cleaning services that really are rip off artists and just hire anyone off of the street to do the duct cleaning jobs. I would say your best bet would be to contact the duct cleaning service again and ask them if the man that is scheduled to come to your home has experience with cleaning furnace coils. Another thing that you could try if you are not comfortable with they're answer is to check the phone book for HVAC company's that also do duct cleaning. A company that I worked for previously was a full service company and they offered duct cleaning.

Q. Some reports say duct cleaning doesn't provide cleaner air. Is it a waste of money?

A. I worked for a company in wisconsin for 4 years, cleaning ducts was our sideline.You would be amazed at the dust and dirt that we would get out of some ducts.Besides the health benefits (in my opinion) it decreases fire risks,increases efficiency output.We rean a large vacuum truck hose to the plenum of furnace, and used high pressure to blow down each duct.Then we ran a skipper, a high pressure hose up each duct that blew back pressure.We would check the ducts to make sure they were clean.We could suck up bricks with that thing.

Q. There was a coupon today in the Valpak for $59 air duct cleaning. Does it really make a difference when they clean them, or is it just a scam?

A. If anyone in the house has allergy issues, it is indeed very helpful. However, a reputable company cannot do a good job for $59.00. If you don't want to pay more then don't do it however you will get nothing worthwhile for $59.00. lp
