I reached out to this company to have the air ducts cleaned at my mother’s home for $97. The technician did a good job with the air duct cleaning, and I appreciate that.
However, things became concerning when he moved on to the dryer vent cleaning. The first 10–15 feet were included at no additional charge, which the representative explained over the phone. However, we were not asked for permission before additional footage was added. We were later told he went an additional 10 feet, resulting in a $120 charge.
The technician also repaired the dryer tube, which was an additional $40, and then went onto the roof, which added another $150. We did agree to the roof and dryer tube portion.
He also went into the attic, and somehow the 4-inch aluminum elbow duct piece connected to the gooseneck, along with the strap connected to the dryer duct run, was no longer there. We were then quoted $700 to replace and install the piece. The total bill ended up being around $500. After I questioned the charges and what had happened, the price was reduced by nearly $100.
I’m all for supporting businesses, and I believe in paying people fairly for their work. However, customers also deserve honesty, transparency, and clear communication.
Additional work or charges should be discussed and approved before the work is performed. Please be upfront about pricing, ask permission before adding services or additional footage, and make sure customers understand exactly what they’re being charged for.
Communication and transparency go a long way, especially when you’re working in someone’s home.
