Many of these air duct cleaning companies that advertise amazing deals are what the industry calls “blow-and-go” operators: they rush through the job, do the bare minimum, and leave you thinking your ducts are clean when they’re not.
What “Blow-and-Go” Really Means
The phrase might sound catchy, but what it really means is quick, cheap, and careless work. Instead of taking the time to clean your entire HVAC system—supply and return ducts, registers, grilles, blower motor, coils—these companies might just blow some air into the vents, vacuum a little dust where you can see it, and pack up.
It might look like they’ve done something, but the dirt, dust, and allergens deep in your system are still there, ready to be blown back into your home or business the next time your heat or A/C kicks on.
Why Cutting Corners Costs You More
- Your Air Stays Dirty
The whole point of duct cleaning is to improve indoor air quality. If contaminants are left behind, you and your family (or your employees and customers) keep breathing them in.
- Your System Could Be Damaged
Untrained techs can bend or puncture ductwork, knock parts loose, or mess with your HVAC components—costly mistakes you’ll have to fix later.
- They Miss Bigger Problems
A real professional will look for signs of mold, leaks, or moisture issues while cleaning. Blow-and-go crews aren’t taking that extra time, so hidden problems go undetected until they get worse.
- You’ll Need Another Cleaning Sooner
If they only clean what’s easy to reach, dust builds up again quickly. You’ll be back to square one—and paying for another service—far too soon.
How to Spot a Blow-and-Go Deal
Some warning signs are easy to spot:
- Prices that are way below what reputable companies charge.
- No certifications from organizations like NADCA.
- No clear explanation of what’s included in the service.
- A refusal to provide proof of insurance.
- Heavy upselling once they’re in your home.
If it sounds vague, rushed, or evasive, it’s best to keep looking.
