What is NADCA?

The National Air Duct Cleaners Association was formed in 1989 to institute industry standards and credentialing programs for the HVAC industry. The need for industry standards was addressed in 1992 with the adoption of performance based standards. Recently the NADCA standards have been adopted by Japan and several European nations.

In 1995, the NADCA standards council released microbial contamination standards. In 2001 the standard specifications for cleaning and restoration of HVAC systems, and in 2003 requirements for testing vacuum collection equipment were released.

Make certain that both the company you deal with and the technician that performs your work are NADCA certified. NADCA only requires one person at a company be certified. Monster Vac requires all technicians to be both NADCA and EPA certified. (Back to top of page)
