Are you seeing ads for dirt-cheap duct cleaning in your Central Texas neighborhood Facebook groups? While it may sound like a bargain, we caution against it. Not only can duct cleaning cause more harm than good, but it is also often unnecessary.
At Integrity Mechanical, we believe in providing honest, trustworthy HVAC services without any unnecessary add-ons. That's why we don't offer duct cleaning or filter changes. Why? Because in most cases, air ducts simply don't need to be cleaned. The EPA states that "duct cleaning has never been shown to actually prevent health problems" and "has not been shown to improve air quality or furnace efficiency."

Furthermore, duct cleaning can potentially damage your ducts and release harmful contaminants into your home or office. Instead, we recommend investing in regular HVAC maintenance, including inspections, tune-ups, and addressing any necessary repairs or replacements. This not only saves you money in the long run by identifying and addressing potential problems early, but it also helps to improve air quality by removing harmful particles and increasing energy efficiency.
So, before you fall for the duct cleaning specials advertised on social media, consider the advice of experts and choose Integrity Mechanical for all your HVAC needs. Contact us today 512-773-4988 to schedule an appointment and experience the difference between honest and reliable service.
