🚨 STOP FALLING FOR THE “$99 WHOLE-HOUSE DUCT CLEANING” SCAM 🚨
If you think you’re getting your entire duct system properly cleaned for $99… you’re not. Period.
At best, they’re doing a quick blow-and-go.
At worst? They’re damaging your system.
We just saw the aftermath of one of these “deals.”
Homeowner thought they were saving money…
Instead, they ended up with:
• A completely destroyed furnace
• A heat exchanger cracked across multiple cells
• A serious safety hazard in their home
• Thousands of dollars in repairs/replacement
What caused it?
The company removed the filter and left the furnace running while “cleaning” the return.
All that dust and debris got blown straight into the blower and heat exchanger.
It packed the heat exchanger solid, restricted airflow, and caused the furnace to short cycle over and over until it overheated and failed.
That $99 deal?
It just turned into a multi-thousand-dollar mistake.
Here’s the truth most people don’t realize:
✔ Proper duct cleaning takes time
✔ It requires the right equipment
✔ The system needs to be handled correctly (and often shut down)
✔ And it is NEVER $99 done right
Bottom line:
Cheap duct cleaning isn’t a deal… it’s a gamble.
And sometimes, you lose big.
