Supreme Vent Cleaning has been performing air duct cleaning in Phoenix for some time now and the competition for work is high. We hear stories all the time of some companies acting in an unprofessional and misleading manner.
It is the intention of this article to assist the reader in understanding the expectations of a legitimate air duct cleaning company in Phoenix and the surrounding area. The more you know and understand about the industry, the better decision you will make when it comes time to hire the best air duct cleaner in Phoenix.
Does the company have a high level of knowledge of an Air Duct System?
A professional, legitimate air duct cleaning company will have more knowledge than the average person about your air ducts and HVAC system. A professional duct cleaning service will have years of experience and expert knowledge about your system.
The good companies will be better able to tell you what they see in your ducts and provide a better cleaning. They can also diagnose issues beyond their scope of cleaning and refer you to the right resource so you can have any issues taken care of. At Supreme Vent Cleaning, we have relationships with a few HVAV installation and repair companies in case we run across a home owner with an issue greater than cleaning.
Does the company have trained Professionals?
Only highly-trained technicians should be allowed to clean your vent lines and your air ducts. Any air duct cleaning company worth their salt has those highly-qualified technicians. Supreme Vent Cleaning has only the best air duct cleaner in Phoenix. Our chief technician has over 5 years of air duct cleaning and has cleaned over 600 air duct systems in his career.
He went through extensive training for two years, working under a master air duct cleaner in Des Moines, Iowa. He is now putting his professional duct cleaning skills to use in Phoenix and the surrounding area. In one short year he is now considered one of the best air duct cleaners in Phoenix.
You won’t need to worry about duct damage or poor results by hiring a well-trained professional. Your home and your health can be at risk if you try to clean your air-ducts yourself so it’s better to leave it to professionals (and save yourself the energy and time).
Does the company have the best and most efficient cleaning equipment?
Professional air duct technicians use more powerful equipment than the DIY tools. For example, professional vacuums, known as negative air machines, are much more powerful than household vacuum cleaners. Let’s cover the necessary equipment used by professional air duct cleaners in Phoenix:
Negative Air Machines
These big vacuums are used to collect the dust and lighter debris during the air duct cleaning process. Without them, the house could get dusty. The negative air machines are typically attached to the HVAC system on the cold air side, just before the air filter. This is for when the technician is cleaning the cold air return part of the system. Generally, the negative air machine is hooked up just above the “A-Coil” when cleaning the supply side of the system.
At Supreme Vent Cleaning, we use a portable negative air machine called a “Hypervac.” It is easy to move around and it has a lot of suction.
Agitation Source
Along with a vacuum source to collect the dust and debris, you also need to have some type of agitation system to break the dust and debris loose from the walls of the vent lines.
Some companies use a rotary brush system but Supreme Vent Cleaning Phoenix uses an air system with rods and whips. The high pressured air forces the whips to “dance” and whip around the surface of the vent lines, breaking up the dust and debris.
At the same time, the air is pushing the dust and debris down towards the negative air machine. We use different levels of stiffness in the whips depending on the situation at hand on any particular job.
We found the problem with a brush system is it can cause damage to vent lines that are insulated flex duct. These insulated flex ducts are made of thin-walled plastic covered with insulation. They tear up pretty easily if you are not careful with the cleaning process.
Camera System
The only way to verify and prove to the customer that the cleaning process was effective is to look in the vent lines and trunk lines and record what you see. Any company that is serious about being reputable will provide proof of cleaning with before and after pictures and videos.
Supreme Vent Cleaning Phoenix uses an incline camera system plus our cell phones. Yes, cell phones. We can get photos and videos of all the vent lines and trunk lines. The customers love these and we have numerous reviews where customers rave about them and that’s why they consider us to be the best air duct cleaners in Phoenix and the surrounding area.
Does The Company Have An Identifiable Vehicle?
I know this may sound like a minor issue but at Supreme Vent Cleaning Phoenix, we believe in having vans that are clean and well maintained. We also believe you need to have a well-marked vehicle, showing your company name, what you do, and how to get ahold of you.
Driving an unmarked van through a neighborhood can scare people and think about pulling an unmarked van into a customer’s driveway. Some people find this disturbing.
Conclusion
Supreme Vent Cleaning Phoenix is considered one of the best air duct cleaners in Phoenix and the surrounding area because we utilize the professional knowledge of air duct cleaning with the use of the most efficient cleaning equipment in the industry. Add to that the “before and after” pictures we take to prove our work and you have a great recipe for success.
