Clean Air, Inc

Ok so I’m a renter and new to this unit. YES we had a rough winter. But when I got my electric bills for January and February for more than $ 1380 combined for a 2 bedroom condo I FLIPPED. Of course I called electric company thinking it had to be a mistake. Had technicians come out inspect home unit and meters and problem was my electric heating unit (heat pump was recommended). Spoke to my landlord who is a gem of a person and he immediately came out we stopped using unit and he had techs come out to do quotes and after 3 quotes all which talked about replacing the whole unit not just replacing the existing unit w a heat pump. And breaking walls and bricks. It was too much. My landlord honestly could only afford to get Maintenance done on a unit that was pulling more than 8x the electricity that was needed (stuck on emergency heat) long story short I was referred to this company and the tech was out here the DAY AFTER I called. He never tried to get over on my landlord or myself. Offered 2 options: 1-​replace whole unit OR 2-​just replace electric heat part with a heat pump. My landlord went with option 2 and we got filters to go with it and a new thermostat. Clean, quick professional, warranty and affordable.

We were quietly melting when German came on a Saturday when It seemed like everyone in the world had also broken AC issues and it was very tough to get someone to come a look at it.
He came in quickly identified the issue and went to work. The AC unit was very old and the work took longer than normal to complete but he never complained and still got it done quicker than I thought was possible placing the needed parts.
Now it gets very cool in our place and the wife and I couldn’t be happier. He will be recommended to all our friends in the future.
Thanks again!

Vargas does a great job and works with the people. Knowledgeable, friendly and does great work. Would recommend him for all your hvac needs.

Highly recommend! Top notch service at a great value. I’ve contacted Clean Air for help twice, and both times I found them to be a professional, timely, and talented team running an honest business.
I initially hired Clean Air for an air duct cleaning just after buying my townhouse in Burke, VA – and was very happy with their professionalism, timeliness, and value. The company’s owner, German, and one additional crew member came out to my house. They arrived on-​time (called ahead before showing up), and were very professional throughout the service. They were happy to share «before» and «after» pictures from inside my vents to show me the impressive results of the cleaning. German also took time to answer numerous questions I had about my system (again, new home owner), and essentially walked me through a lot of useful information to educate me on maintaining my system. In the process, he noticed that my return’s drain pipe wasn’t feeding into the drain hole at all (was just emptying onto my basement floor), so he went out to his truck, grabbed some PVC, and corrected the drain’s routing right there on the spot. They also cleaned my dryer vent as part of the vent cleaning service, and I couldn’t believe how much lint came out. Was a serious fire hazard. Lastly, German helped me install a new thermostat that I’d bought but had not yet installed. Again, this was not part of the original service call, but when I mentioned it, he was glad to help. The price for the vent cleaning was exactly what I’d been quoted, and beat the competitive bids I’d obtained.
My first experience was great, and I’m writing this review after a really great second experience. I called Clean Air after coming home from work on a very cold day (the first of the year) to find that my house was very cold and my unit appeared stuck on Auxiliary heat. I received a timely call back from German, he heard me out, and then walked me through some basic troubleshooting questions over the phone. I was lucky that this was just a prolonged «defrost» cycle triggered by the first cold day of the year, and my system was back up and running within a few minutes. German took the time to explain what the system was doing and why I’d experienced those symptoms, which gave me peace of mind. He could have taken advantage of my ignorance to schedule a house call /​inspection, but instead he was honest and patient to walk me through questions over the phone. I told him I felt like I owed him something for his time, and he said they were glad to help, so that’s when I decided I needed to leave a Unilocal review for this great business.

Happy with the work done. I was given a good price for cleaning all the vents of the house including the dryer vent. They just forgot to clean up a little bit but that’s okay not a big deal.

I contacted several companies for quotes on air duct cleaning for our townhouse. It is new construction, and I was pretty sure the ducts weren’t cleaned when we moved in 2 years ago. With a new baby on the way, I wanted to get rid of any dust that could be lurking in our vents.
The quote from Clean Air was in the middle of the pack and the flat rate special wasn’t based on the number of vents and included dryer vent cleaning. I selected them partially based on price and a recommendation from a local Facebook moms group.
It was raining the day of our scheduled service, so they made sure to call and ensure we were ok with the crew possibly tracking mud or dirt in the house, which was fine. The owner and his assistant showed up within the time window provided and were very polite.
They got right to work and I could tell they were careful and meticulous. They took the cover off each vent and used what looked like a giant vacuum to clean. They also were careful to ask or let us know if they needed to move anything. They were here for nearly four hours in total for the duct cleaning and two additional services they recommended. I was very pleased overall with the level of service for the price, which wasn’t cheap, but as with all things you get what you pay for. I would use their services again. Thanks, Clean Air!

The crew just left my house after spending two and half hours cleaning my vents, finding problems with the system and generally helping me troubleshoot my AC system.
Just for context, I bought my house about two months ago and the previous owners were chain smokers. Every time I ran the AC, the house would smell like a dirty ashtray and I would wake up in the middle of the night, nauseous and coughing. A friend at work suggested I get the ducts cleaned. Boy, am I glad that I did!
The owner and his crew showed up on time (and on a Saturday!!), charged the price that was quoted over the phone and even helped improve the (piece of garbage) system currently installed in my house. I asked for a quote to install a new system and potentially run new ductwork to the finished basement because I was so thrilled with their work. I would definitely suggest them to a friend!

Definitely cheaper than other quotes I got. I can tell the difference in the way the air coming out sounds. Guess now that the vent is cleared, air is actually coming through! YAY

Great service. Great company. Professional staff
Based on other reviews I called Clean Air and was able to set-​up next day cleaning of our dryer vent. Price was reasonable, (not as low as those companies that advertise in ValPaks, etc but none of them has a good rating on Unilocal) technician showed up in the 2 hour window they promised and was very personable & professional. Would recommend these guys to others.

Like the other Unilocaler, I was also concerned about booking with this contractor because their price to clean the dryer vent and HVAC system was significantly lower than the other 3 companies I called (Clean Air’s price was $ 295 for the entire cleaning).
I need not have worried. They gave me a 2-​hour window and showed up on-​time. They called before they showed up, as they said they would. They were VERY thorough, professional, worked diligently for several hours (it’s a long process), and left my house clean. The price quoted was exactly what was charged.
They cleaned every single register and return (some other companies only clean the return vents), and even vacuumed around the bathroom exhaust vents, even though that’s not really part of what they do. Nice!
I strongly recommend this company.

The company was very easy to contact and responded well through e-​mail. I find it hard to contact businesses during the work day, so this is important to me.
They were working on Memorial Day (!), and showed up when they said they would and got right to work.
The workers are very clean and professional and communicated with me very well. There is no way for me to tell how good of job they did inside of the ducts, but they took their time and seemed very thorough.
They did leave some dust around the house where they were working, but nothing unexpected.
The only detraction for me is that this service uses a portable rotating brush /​vacuum inside of the ducts. This vacuum apparently does not suck up all of the stuff being cleaned out of the ducts, as afterwards, my brand new (expensive) air filter was completely clogged and there was a significant amount of dirt on the coils inside of the furnace.
Next time, I will probably use a company that utilized the truck mounted vacuums, but this company is a good company to deal with.

Great company, great work, great price.
I was a little leery of this place going in because their price was so much lower than everyone else. They quoted $ 245 for my entire town home including the furnace and dryer vents, while other places quoted $ 4 – 700. They gave me an appt. window of 9−11AM. Called the day ahead to remind me and 30 minutes before they showed up, which was early, right around 9:30. Nice guys, got right to work. They cleaned all of the vent covers inside and out, did every vent in the entire house thoroughly. They even fixed my dryer vent for free when they discovered that it wasn’t properly connected in the ceiling.
