How can some companies meet NADCA standards and leave your HVAC filthy?

A company does not have to follow or clean to NADCA standards in order to maintain NADCA certification. They don’t have to follow the processes they demonstrated knowledge about in order to remain certified. They can cut corners, skip steps all together, and contaminate your home or building and still maintain certification.

While they may be “certified” whether or not they actually follow and clean to NADCA standards is a different matter. Some of the NADCA standards you should be most concerned with are:

NADCA standards 5.1, 5.2 HVAC Duct Pressurization, Pressure Differential Requirements: This section deals with enough suction being created in the system to prevent contaminants in the portion of your duct being cleaned from spreading to other parts of the system and or the living spaces of your home or building. This is called cross contamination. Monster Vac has the most powerful truck mounted equipment in the business-powerful enough to create the suction required to prevent cross contamination.

NADCA standard 5.3 Cleaning Equipment: This standard also addresses cross-contamination. All cleaning equipment should be free of someone else’s dirt and germs before your house or business is cleaned. Monster Vac cleans their equipment before every job.

NADCA standard 6.2:Duct Systems: Monster Vac provides you with visual proof your system is clean in 14 critical areas before you pay us and before we leave.

NADCA standard 6.3 Coil Surface Cleaning: Cleaning the furnace unit and evaporator coil is perhaps the most important step in the HVAC cleaning process. It is the step that receives the least amount of attention from most air duct cleaning companies. Most companies simply wipe the outside of the cabinet and call that good. Monster Vac is the only HVAC system cleaning company to use an 8 step, pressurized wet cleaning process.

If you use someone other than Monster Vac they may leave you in the Dust! (Back to top of page)
