"We have an older home with older ductwork. We had Spencer and Brayton out and they cleaned and sealed our ductwork. They did a great job. Professional, great communication, attention to detail. They reduced our air leakage by 86%. We noticed an immediate difference in improved airflow, our cold spots are no longer cold spots. Thanks!"

"The person doing the work was very professional and thorough. We have had the ducts cleaned in the past, but they did not do nearly as thorough a job as this person did. He cleaned the return line at the furnace, the fan motor and A-coil."

"Novaks had available what we wanted for a furnace.  We were looking for a single stage that would meet the requirements of the area utility rebates.  The cleaning of duct work and installation was flawless.  They were also extremely helpful and made it a priority in testing the system after installation as well as filling out all of the required submission forms with our responsibility only to sign as verification of the home owner.  I've waited almost an entire year to fill out this survey because I wanted to have tested the system in the coldest of winter and warmest of summer to verify that a sufficient system had been installed since the BTU rating was lower than or previous system.  We have had no issues at all since the install and are hoping for a reliable system in the years to come. <br />"

"I was told that Brandt is one of the only providers in the area who will look at gas fireplaces, so I felt that I pretty much had to use them to address this issue. Scheduling was difficult. When I called to schedule an appointment, the receptionist told me that there was no way to know which date he would be able to come to my home to perform the work. If I don't know what date he is coming, that makes it very hard and stressful for me to juggle my plans and be able to get a day off work to be home for this service. This is why I am giving a "C" for Responsiveness and a "B" for Overall. I told the receptionist my preferred date (which she seemed somewhat annoyed by), planned around that, and as it turned out he was able to come on that date. He called me the evening before to confirm he would be able to come on that date. He arrived maybe twenty minutes earlier than expected, which wasgreat. Once he got there he worked hard and did a great job cleaning the fireplace. My fireplace hadn't been cleaned properly in years and was super gross, but he was a professional about it. He gave good advice about how I could clean it myself in the future with a vacuum brush attachment and special cleaners for fireplace glass. In the end he did a great job, but I don't think I would use them again as scheduling was too stressful. <br />"

"This company is excellent! I highly recommend them to anyone I know. This was my first time using this company and I'm so glad I did! The crew was very courteous and professional. The carpet looks great! I did experience what another reviewer referred to as brown out. The guys I spoke with said it's basically oxidation and it happens sometimes when the carpet dries too slowly, so be sure to put your AC/heat to the recommended temp and extra fans if you've got them. When they came to take care of the brown out I was very pleased to know that they fix that for free. It's a very quick fix, they just re-clean the affected area. But if you've got a die stain that's an entirely different type of spot and would need specialized treatment so it's not part of the normal cleaning cost. My final price would have been higher if I had chosen to have the rooms treated with scotchguard but we decided to pass on it this time, there was no pressure from them to upgrade it which I appreciated. The crew guys we're very nice on the second time too. Don't hesitate to use this company. They are professional, they are priced very well and they work hard to clean your carpets as best as they can."

"Environmental Testing & Research Laboratories, Inc. sent a package with 2 vials and instructions for collecting the samples.  I collected the samples as instructed, completed a questionnaire, and returned the sample vials as instructed.  A week or two later they sent the analysis.  Everything went as expected.  There were no problems. <br />"

"Zach was very professional and efficient.  He was punctual and came in and asked me to walk through my house with him to show him around and to count the vents. He then explained what he was going to do and got right to it.  I have  a very curious dog and Zach handled the situation well. He cleaned up as he was going along and left the house as clean as when he came. <br />"

FAQs for air ducts & vents cleaning service projects in Iowa City, IA

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) states that air duct cleaning is not required unless visible issues such as mold buildup, rodent droppings, or excessive dust are present. When such conditions exist, cleaning becomes essential to protect indoor air quality and maintain HVAC efficiency. This approach minimizes potential health risks and extends the system’s life.

Air ducts must be cleaned every three to five years as required by NADCA to preserve system efficiency and indoor air quality. The EPA insists that cleaning is necessary only when significant issues such as mold, pest infestations, or heavy dust accumulation are evident. Annual inspections by a certified professional promptly address any emerging concerns.

The ideal seasons for air duct cleaning are spring and fall. Cleaning during these periods prepares your HVAC system for the demands of both winter heating and summer cooling. These seasons provide moderate weather conditions that enable efficient service completion while minimizing disruption, ensuring your system performs at its peak.

Professional air duct cleaning takes a fixed duration of two to five hours, depending on the home’s size and the complexity of the duct system. Smaller residences with standard ductwork complete the service in two hours, while larger homes with extensive ducts require up to five hours. Additional repairs may extend this duration.

To prepare for professional air duct cleaning, ensure all vents are unobstructed by moving nearby furniture and clearing pathways. Secure any pets in a safe area and confirm that your HVAC system units are easily accessible for technician inspection. Proper preparation contributes to a higher quality service outcome and prevents delays, allowing the cleaning process to proceed efficiently.
