Duct Cleaning Disasters

We have warned you before about the scam artists in the duct cleaning industry, but you may still doubt how true this really is. Extremely low prices, one hour jobs, and one man crews are staples of an illegitimate duct cleaning company. Here at Four Seasons Home Services, we pride ourselves on being expert duct cleaning specialists. Our technicians are NADCA certified, and we send a two man crew to perform every duct cleaning job. It may take 4 to 6 hours to complete the cleaning properly. This may sound like we are going a bit overboard, but after reading these letters from our satisfied customers, we are sure that you will understand just how important it is to be thorough and have honest business practices.

Joanne D from Chicago, IL sent us this letter:

“I had to let you know how pleased I was to have your company, Four Seasons, clean my vents. I was very skeptical because I have received so many fliers offering the same service for $99. I talked to someone who used one of those companies. They were so sorry. Her entire family had bites all over from the mites that came out of their vents after the company left.  My vents were so clogged that air could not pass through them. I had no heat in my bathroom. I had to bring a small heater in every time I took a shower. Now the bathroom is nice and warm for bathing. It was worth every penny. I am so happy I called you! Thank you for doing a very professional job.”- Joanne D.

This letter is the perfect example of what happens when you use a company that doesn’t know how to, or doesn’t have the equipment to properly dispose of the particles in your duct work. The particles get released into your breathing air. In the case of this letter the problem was dust mites, but what if it was mold spores that were released? The problem could have been much more serious than a few bite marks.

Florence M. is also a resident of Chicago, and she sent us this letter:

“Recently I decided to have my Ducts/Vents cleaned because occasionally I would see a little dust on the floor.  I then call several Duct Cleaning Companies and settled on one that was (I thought) reasonably priced.  I soon learned that I got what I paid for, not what I was promised.  Once the Serviceman had completed his “work”, which took all of 1 hour and about 15 minutes, he left.

In the days that followed as I started using the heating system in my home I noticed dust everywhere.  Which I attribute to the recent cleaning and thought, maybe some dust was left over.  As days turned into weeks I realized I was dusting more than I’d ever had to in all the years I been here, each time I removed the blanket of dust that spewed from the vents, a couple of days later it was back.  After several weeks I could no longer make excuses for the “job” that was done/not done.

I then called Four Seasons which cost a little bit more but as I stated before, I got what I paid for.  After Four Seasons serviced my Ducts/Vents I waited; I had become accustomed to removing dust from my furniture, blinds, floors, etc. every two to three days, but there was no more dust.  The money I wasted on the first Duct Cleaning Company could have went to Four Seasons who in the end came out and did the job right.  If this helps anyone save some of their hard earned money in these difficult economic times I’m happy.  From now on my philosophy is “do it right the first time.”- Florence M.

Don’t let yourself be one of those people who get taken advantage of. Trust a company like Four Seasons for all of your duct cleaning needs, and you can rest assured that you are going to get the job done right the first time. Your HVAC systems are valuable not just because they are responsible for keeping your family comfortable in this Chicago climate, but also because damage to the systems can cost hundreds to repair. Put your system in the trusted hands at Four Seasons Home Services, and we guarantee you will be happy with the results.
