Stay Away From Scams, Keep Your Facility Safe & Efficient

Serving Connecticut, Rhode Island & Massachusetts

Not many businesses follow the guidelines when it comes to cleaning air ducts. Cheap “whole system” cleanings that seem too good to be true are offered by many, and they typically are.
Poor quality duct cleaning can cause more harm to your HVAC systems, leaving behind dust, debris, or even contaminants. At Mechanical Hygiene Services (MHS), we never compromise on quality when it comes to clean air. With over 20 years of industry experience, our NADCA-certified team follows the highest standards to protect your facilities, your HVAC systems, and your investment.

Blow-and-Go Duct Cleaners: The Truth

Whenever you search for air duct cleaning & air duct sealing, there are a lot of companies that will offer discounts. The fact that they will perform subpar HVAC system cleaning is something you don't discover until it's too late, usually after they've left. Additionally, they could tack on extra service charges for items you might not have agreed to at the beginning of the project. They probably didn't clean the rest of the system, just the air ducts.
That’s where companies with NADCA membership come in.

On their website, they provide a simple method for locating a list of local members. Low pricing may seem alluring, but the air duct cleaning firm will probably start charging a ton of extra for things like cleaning and testing coils, the air plenum of your system. Instead, the charge from a NADCA member would cover all of these.
