Were my ducts cleaned properly?

A thorough visual inspections is the best way to verify the cleanliness of your heating and cooling system. All portions of the system should be visibly clean -- i.e., such that you cannot see any debris with the naked eye. Have the contractor show you the following areas in your system after the cleaning work to verify that the job was performed satisfactory.

General
Did the contractor clean the entire heating and cooling system, including ductwork and all components?

Heating
Is the heat exchanger surface visibly clean?
Cooling
Are both sides of the cooling coil visibly clean?
Components

If you point a flashlight into the cooling coil, does light shine through the other side? It should if the coil is clean.

Are the coil fins straight and evenly spaced (as opposed to being bent over a smashed together)?
Is the coil drain pan completely clean and draining properly?
Access Doors and Covers
Are newly installed access doors attached with more than justduct tape (i.e.,screws, rivets, mastic)?
Air Vents
Have your air vents been firmly reattached to the walls, floors, and / or ceilings?
If you answered "No" to any of the above questions, this may indicate a problem with the job.  Call Dirty Ducts and get the job right the first time.
