Georgian Duct Cleaning's 40 Point Residential Checklist

Duct Cleaning Residential Air Quality Barrie Ontario
Air ducts can be home to pet hair, dust, building materials, mould, bacteria and fungal growth. Every time your heat or air conditioner operates, these contaminants are forced throughout your home. Regular cleaning of your air ducts is the most effective way to reduce air contaminates and promote healthy air within the home.

When choosing an air duct cleaning company, integrity and transparency are important factors to consider.

We use a 40 point residential checklist to ensure our fully trained, certified technicians offer the best customer service, great service and products with professionalism.

Our 40 point checklist outlines the steps we take to ensure we thoroughly clean your air ducts. More importantly, it offers you the opportunity to ensure we are providing the professional service you paid for.
