Keep posted...I am sure SGK will have your answer quickly.

Ask Don Cook how hard it is to get something from kenni.

Everyone has their own way of cleaning H.V.A.C. systems.  Yes Cyclone Ventilation did own a rotobrush many years ago and now there are contractors who send us their rotobrush after a few uses for repair or they want us to buy it off them for reselling. We don't sell a piece of equipment to a customer  that we are not satisfied with.  There are some great products out there.  More efficient less time consuming.  I find the rotobrush is not one of the best equipment out there.  It doesn't even come close.   

I purchased many products and so did many others from Kenny, I never got screwed and neither did I hear any others that came forward to prove that they did either. You can trust Kenny and I will back it up. DennisNoLifeConner is just Kenny's shadow trying to be him........He cannot run his own little business 'cause he's broke so he tries to put other successful people down....................Jealousy and NO LIFE of his own

This is my fifth year and I wouldn't attempt to clean any system with less than 2500cfm, preferably not less than 5000.  Started out with a Meyer's General, but have now used Heat Seal's Truck Mount daily for the past 2 years. Also have a 2 yr. old Nikro EC-5000, but have only used it on one job. I'm spoiled by the truck mount and am not looking forward to using either of the portables again.  There is a lot of good used equipment on the market, but I strongly recommend that you stay away from the rotobrush and its knockoffs. With rare exception in most parts of the country, these are all but worthless.   

A constant source of air is very important and you should buy the best two-stage compressor that you can afford. Air-powered agitation equipment (Viper and Scorpion Rod Systems) work best in metal ducts. Heat Seal's new 22" Octopus does a fantastic job in fiberglass duct board. Flex duct is another story though and depending on condition, an air sweep or gentle brushing may be the only tools that you can safely use.  Also recommend the use of a camera to verify that each portion is thoroughly clean. I use a wireless infrared system and watch the monitor as I clean each portion of the system.  

Duct cleaning isn't rocket science, but you should have a good basic knowledge of hvac systems, especially if customer satisfaction is important to you. To be effective, duct cleaning can't be done in an hour or so and at a minimum should include the evaporator or inside coil, and conditioned air side of the heat exchanger and if permitted in your area, the blower should be removed, disassembled and cleaned. 

Hope this helps.

Click on his profile, and you will see the website of the products offered. They cost many thousands, while mine cost in the hundreds. It is hard enough in getting hundreds from a cleaner, never mind what it takes to get thousands. lol

Down the road i am interested in purchasing a duct cleaning system from you Ken,but i wan't to learn about duct and furnace cleaning a bit more before i get into it.Are there any courses available for funace and duct cleaning?I always have taken a course when i have tried a different cleaning service,like ceiling cleaning.
