Truck Mounted Duct Cleaning

Nice to see Superglide Ken back in the ring.

Ken is the most persistent person I have ever met. He invented the Superglide to attach to your wands that take the hard push and pull work out of carpet cleaning. We have had a love hate relationship with selling them. But the people who love them wish they had them 20 years ago. Believe me the small problems that Ken has had introducing them he will definitely overcome. He is that kind of guy.

 

Never did get an answer on this one.......does the unit that attaches to the truck mount work?????

Mr. Steamer : If you got dust blowing out vents than having your ducts cleaned is not the answer to your problem.  I think duct cleaning has gone the way of the room cleaner.  There is not  a lot of ethics left in the duct cleaning business.  Lets get something strait I don't mean everyone just the bad apples which probably amounts to about 80%.

Is it not interesting what marketing and sales ability can create. Here we have a reputable institution (E.P.A.), who says save your money because duct cleaning is generally not necessary especially for health reasons. And yet an entire multi-million dollar industry survives cleaning duct work.

Chalk one up for sales and marketing. Or is it BS baffles brains?

What A bunch of Bulls*&t!!!!!!

I also have my own heating company and I KNOW first hand that everything this idiot has said is BULL!!!!! AND There is a tonne of literature to prove it.

Ducts should be cleaned every 5 years and I reccomend this OR longer if the furnace has a HIGH QUALITY Electrostaic air filter.

I use my truckmount for ductcleaning with the Cleanco brush kit. IAQ 2000 to be exact. It does an awsome job, but then any equipment is only as good as it's operator...in most cases.

Sorry to rant there, I get so pissed when I read crap like that.

   i charge what i think my service is worth whether it is duct cleaning or carpet cleaning my customers are 98% very happy but i tell them before i start cleaning anything so they are not surprised about anything.  only how much better & cleaner every thing is. a good tech is priceless you cant put a $$$$$$$$ on the best work. my carpet jobs are sometimes higher then my furnace jobs all depends on size of job.you probably only charge 49.99 for whole house. because you feel guilty charging for a half ass job. i think all traind& iicrc certafied firms should set rates so we can make the money we desreve. that is why i am in buisnes to make money i only hear the bad cleaners complain about other guys prices . go buy proper equipment & chems also pay for training.& start charging for what you invested so you dont have to work the rest of your life & maybe some day you can afford to pay my company to do your cleaning the right way.     & for when to clean your ducts depends on alot like do you have pets, kids do you live near a dusty rd. or have allergies or you like a clean house all the newer homes have a freash air intake now witch sucks in all the dirty & contaminated & pollutants air particles around your home & your furnace puts those in your ducts& carpets where do you think you get those bad filtration lines all a around the walls it is from your furnace so you should clean your funace as often as needed just like your carpets we also oil & change filters & adjust what is needed when cleaning so alot of my customers call just so they dont have too. once a year saves them money on repairs later we offer a complete service for them carpet ,blinds, furn&ducts but we use the right equipment for the jobs tms for carpets,caddyvac for furn cleaning & ultrasonic cleaning for blinds & the most up to date chems . any more???just ask.
