Checklist #1: NADCA Certified Technician

The National Air Duct Cleaners Association’s mission is to lead the domestic and international HVAC hygiene industry in standard setting, research information dissemination and promotion of ethical practices.
In order to ensure the continuing education of the HVAC hygiene industry, NADCA generates standards that are recognized industry wide. In addition NADCA’s certification program and system of continuing education for HVAC hygiene professionals is increasingly receiving recognition around the world.

A company can be considered “NADCA Certified” if a single person in the company is certified. Certification of the individual means that they passed a test demonstrating knowledge of NADCA Standards. In other words, they know how to get a system clean without contaminating the rest of the home and making conditions worse than when they started. Only 60% of all individuals who take the test pass.

At Monster Vac, all of our jobs are performed by a NADCA Certified Technician. In fact, we require they carry their NADCA Certification Card with them.

We recommend you demand to see the NADCA Certification Card of anyone you pay to clean your system. It's the only way to ensure they personally have thorough knowledge of what it takes to get your system clean without contaminating the rest of your home and making conditions worse than when they started!
