When it comes to choosing an air duct cleaning service, consumers often prioritize immediate concerns: cost, equipment, and the type of truck parked in their driveway. However, they overlook the most crucial question that ensures the long-term health and efficiency of their HVAC system: “Is your company certified with NADCA or IAQCert?”
Certification with the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) or having IAQ Certification is not just a badge of honor; it’s a commitment to upholding the highest industry standards for air duct cleaning. These credentials mean the service provider is well-versed in the latest techniques, compliant with strict cleaning protocols, and dedicated to delivering superior indoor air quality.
For households with furry friends, this question becomes even more significant. Pet hair can seriously compromise your air ducts’ function and, by extension, your home’s air quality. It’s not just about the unsightly tumbleweeds of fur; it’s about the unseen impact on your system’s blower and motor. As pet hair accumulates, it can force these components to work harder, leading to overheating and premature failure.
Moreover, when discussing pet hair, we must not overlook the AC coils, or evaporator coils, which can become clogged with hair and dander. This not only chokes the system but also reduces its ability to cool your home efficiently, leading to increased energy bills and potential system breakdowns.
On our website, we delve deeper into these concerns. Our Duct Cleaning Factor Guide sheds light on how often you should consider cleaning your ducts, especially in homes with pets.

Choosing the right air duct cleaning service is not a decision to be taken lightly—especially not when pets are part of your home. By ensuring that your provider is certified, you’re not just asking the right question; you’re also paving the way for healthier indoor air and a longer-lasting HVAC system.
Remember, it’s not just about cleaning; it’s about maintaining a safe, efficient, and comfortable living environment for you and your pets.
