When it comes to finding a reliable and trustworthy duct sealing company, it's essential to do your research and make sure they have the necessary qualifications and certifications. The best option is to look for a company that is a member of the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) or has a NADCA certification. This is because NADCA members must complete training, follow a code of ethics, and have liability insurance. They also follow NADCA best practices and use specialized equipment and materials to seal air ducts quickly and precisely. In addition to NADCA membership or certification, you should also inquire about any additional services that may be included in the cost of the work, as well as any guarantees that may be offered.
It's also important to check if the company is a member of the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA). The ACCA sets standards that contractors must follow when working on indoor HVAC systems. When selecting a product for your air conditioning duct sealing needs with Aeroseal, ensure that the contractor has certifications from organizations such as NADCA or ENERGY STAR certified suppliers. It's also important to commit to a good preventive maintenance program to minimize duct pollution. The EPA does not recommend that air ducts be cleaned, except when necessary, due to continuing uncertainty about the benefits of duct cleaning under most circumstances. However, if no one in your household has allergies or unexplained symptoms or illnesses and if, after a visual inspection of the inside of the ducts, you don't see any signs that the air ducts are contaminated with large deposits of dust or mold (there is no musty smell or visible mold growth), cleaning the air ducts is probably not necessary. With proper research and preparation, you can ensure that your home is properly and efficiently sealed.
Knowledge about cleaning air ducts is in its early stages, so it's important to consider some important factors when examining a company, such as certification, cleaning methods, and customer service.
