FAQs
Service-day walkthrough FAQ
Short answers to common customer questions.
Do I need to be home during the full duct cleaning visit?
It is usually best for someone authorized to be available at least for arrival walkthrough and final recap, especially if scope decisions are needed.
Will the process differ for condos?
Yes. Condo process flow can include building-access windows, elevator timing, and in-unit mechanical limitations.
Can I add dryer vent or furnace cleaning on the same day?
Often yes, if planned in scope. It is best to confirm add-ons before the service window.
