A report by Inside Edition reporter Lisa Guerrero highlighting fraudulent practices by a low priced duct cleaning company in Alabama. The company exposed in the piece makes false claims about mold and bills the homeowners over $1000 from the initial $49.95 rate. This is not proper air duct cleaning procedure nor good business practice.

  • @scotty1234541 That's like saying always trust a scammer to police a scammer. The BBB doesn't exactly have a squeaky clean reputation. See the 20/20 segment about the BBB.

  • Always check with the BBB before hiring to a contractor to perform duct cleaning.

  • $49.95 in gas just to drive to your house! Price's start from $400-1000 based on size of house.Every house is different, ahu may or may not have a/c, various supplie's going around and about the house, every situation is different. These are those few asshole's that give the Industry a bad name. Air duct cleaning is simple once mastered. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to clean ducts, just a knowledgable one....

  • Just remember you are going to pay one way or another. I worked for a few cleaning co's that did air ducts and anyone worthwhile is going to charge a few hundered dollars for this service up front. If they come in with only a shop vac, consider it's going to be a shoddy job. They should have a portable or truck mounted vacuum, filter or foam material to block the vents off while cleaning and have a camera to show you before/after photos of the trunk line.

  • Back when I use to clean ducts, I heard plenty of stories about Ed. Everybody's experiences with him have revealed that he is a crook. Before I started with the company he embezzled a substantial amount of money from his business partners and even stole all the furniture from the office.
