Bad business practices are everywhere, especially when it comes to services that are needed in the home. NADCA (The National Air Duct Cleaning Association), which is comprised of legitimate HVAC cleaning companies, has long been plagued by a small number of “fly-by-night” companies that are dishonestly portraying themselves as offering Utah air duct cleaning services.
Instead of actually cleaning a customer’s HVAC system, these scam companies use scare tactics and “bait and switch” methods to squeeze money out of their clients. And many times do not even clean the HVAC system at all, let alone to the industry’s standards.
Consumers are told they have mold and other toxic substances in their HVAC systems – claims which are most likely false and used merely to extort money. Coupons and flyer’s advertising rock bottom prices on “whole house air duct cleaning” and “HVAC mold and soot removal” arrive in the mail daily for some households.
It can be scary to think that the air circulating through your home may be causing sicknesses, allergies, or worse. There often exists a legitimate concern for the health and well-being of a home or building’s inhabitants. For this and many other reasons, consumers and property managers become interested in purchasing Utah air duct cleaning services.
Don’t fall for their scams! All Clean Air Ducts cleans according to the guidelines of the NADCA… Stick with the professionals. We guarantee our work.

I am a carpet and upholstery cleaner that works for a sister company to “All Clean Air Duct Cleaning” and I have received a little training on the cleaning of air ducts. I was recently at a customer’s house where they were having their whole house cleaned before they move into the house they just bought. I was their first to clean up the carpets and they told me that they were having air duct cleaners coming just after I got started on my work. So they show up and I see them speaking to my customer and I was expecting for them to come in with all of their equipment like what I have seen All Clean - Utah air duct cleaning use. Instead they came in with a large vacuum like the ones from a central vac unit. I then looked out at their car and saw that they had no van but an older car with a large trunk for the equipment. Also their large facial hair and earrings didn’t seem very professional but I guess matched the car I saw. I talked to them and they said that they just open up the vents and pushed a scrubber brush down the vents then went behind with the big vacuum hose. Also the customer said that they saw signs of mice in the basement and maybe in the vents. The customer came to me and asked about a product that the duct cleaners were trying to sell them that was for $200 that would decompose any rat or mice droppings along with the mice themselves. I had never heard of a product like that but they wanted my opinion on it. It’s hard because with the method that All Clean -Utah air duct cleaning - uses there would be no need to decompose anything because their cleaning process would suck up any and all droppings and things left in the ducts or furnaces. The way All Clean does their cleaning an expensive decomposing chemical would not be necessary. All clean has disinfectants that are recommend to fog through the system but there will not be things left in the ducts to decompose.
In the long run I am much more impressed with the way that All Clean Air Duct Cleaning scrubs their customer’s vents. They seem to be a whole lot more thorough with their negative air flow system and what seems to me a whole lot better scrubbing action of the vents. I can’t imagine just spraying some stuff down my heater vents to decompose rat feces then it turning into dust that will be circulated back throughout my house.

How does a Utah dryer vent fire get started you ask, well let me tell you. The air blowing through your dryer vent is moist air, making the lint sticky. Its only a four inch opening so once it starts to stick its easy to get built up. If your dryer duct goes through your attic or crawl space it is exposed to cold temperatures. Cold temperatures cause condensation in your dryer duct making the lint more sticky or more likely to stick. When the lint gets backed up into the dryer then the problem really begins to get serious. Your dryer is run on electricity or gas heating, which can sometime produce sparks. If the sparks reach the backed up lint it can cause a ragging fire. The fire has been know to burn down peoples homes is a matter of minutes. It is very important to keep your dryer vent clean so not to attract build up.

If you have not had the ducts in your residential or commercial property cleaned in the last five years, now is a very good time to schedule an appointment. Contained in the hundreds of square feet of surface in your ducts are years of accumulation of dust, dirt, pollen, hair, spider webs, dead insects, dust mites and other allergens and impurities. The impurities and bacteria in your ducts may contribute to the adverse effects of allergies, sinus problems and other health issues. Mold spores and moisture can breed mold growth in contaminated air ducts utah systems.
A homeowner CANNOT effectively clean their own ducts. Special equipment and professional training is required. Specially formulated and environmentally friendly solutions can be sprayed into your ducts to kill mold and bacteria and eliminate odots. Duct cleaning can help to keep dust particles out of your property’s air and off of your furniture and counters.
The entire system needs to be cleaned. Failure to clean all components of the system can result in re-contamination of the system, thus minimizing the benefits of cleaning. Just as you wouldn’t only clean half of your living room floor, you also would not want to clean only part of your heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system.

Really bad Utah dryer vent!
In all my years this is the worst resedintial Utah dryer vent I have cleaned!! This is a fire waiting to happen.
I recently had another Utah air duct cleaning company come out to my house to give me a quote on my air ducts. This Utah air duct cleaning company had a special in VALPACK that stated they would clean 10 heat openings, 1 main line, 1 cold air return as well as the furnace. So I called them up and had them come out. When they got to my house they refused to honor the coupon and the cheapest price they could give me was around $500. This price included “cleaning the A.C. coils” which I do not even have. Im really sick and tired of all these companies advertising a low price for air ducts and not honoring that price. Also people need to realize that no honest company would come out and do 3 hours of work for less than $40.

Recently, I sent my Utah air duct cleaning crew to a larger than usual residential cleaning, which consisted of five furnace systems in the same house. I don’t recall the square footage, but each furnace was located in different areas of the building. Which means there was also a lot of trunk line as well as openings for my Utah air duct cleaning crew to accomplish. So we scheduled our usual 2 man crew for this job and as I was briefing the lead technician on the specifics, he thought that it would be a good idea to send a third technician due to the size and time constraints of the job. Turns out he was correct in his decision to take a third technician. It helped them to spread the work out by having prep work done as they got to the different areas of the cleaning, and also taking care of difficult situations beforehand and therefore they were able to be more thorough and get the job done right and in a timely manor. The work was done for a property manager and everyone knows how hard it is to please them. This person had gotten several bids for this job, and even though our bid was the highest of all of the bids, he chose us because he was really impressed with the way Josh, our lead technician, had conducted the estimate and really knew what he was doing and could tell that he had been doing this kind of work for awhile. The property manager was ” So” impressed that he placed a review on Google for All Clean Air Duct Cleaning. I am very impressed with all of my techs and the quality of work that they put forth.
