Fresh Breeze Air Duct Cleaning

I wish I had checked out Unilocal before purchasing this Fresh Breeze deal for HVAC/​Dryer vent cleaning from Living Social. I agree completely with the other reviewers — Fresh Breeze was a total scam. So, I bought the ‘deal’ as I had to get the vents cleaned for our home sale and I needed the paperwork to prove it had been done correctly. I just wanted a basic cleaning — and the deal covered the cleaning.
My deal through Living Social cost $ 39 — It was for ‘dryer vent cleaning, air duct cleaning and HVAC inspection’ for a promotional value of $ 136. I thought — wow — what a great deal!
No sooner did they get there, they started their unprofessional pitch. One guy was the salesman; the other really was the muscle. When I kept saying no — the sales guy got more aggressive. He said, «If this was my home, I would want the quality air filters instead of the .99 air filters.» And I kept explaining that I was moving in a matter of weeks. He then told me that I would be charged for the cleaning because the vents were so dirty — I was so tired of dealing with them — I paid $ 240.
They were at my one bedroom condo for well over two hours! And they left dirt on the floor (from the vents?).
Since that time, Living Social reached out and I gave them a full review on how terrible Fresh Breeze was. However as of July 1 — I noticed that they were still selling ‘deals’ for them.
I hope this review helps at least one person not to make the same mistake that I did.

Wish I could give this ZERO.
Same exact experience as all others. They barely cleaned our return vent with the vacuum and tried to upsell IMMEDIATELY. Started at $ 300, went down to $ 150.
When I declined, they «finished» the cleaning by vacuuming the outside of my air vent covers (I watched them unscrew literally one of the 9 in our house) and left as soon as humanly possible.
Even did the muscle and salesman routine per the other reviews here.
Don’t waste your time or money.

BAIT and SWITCH at it’s finest.
This was an amazon local deal. Here’s the operation.
2 guys come in, one is the muscle, one is the salesman. They immediately started moving furniture around and ripping open ducts. They use a home depot shop vac to clean 2 – 3 feet down the supply vents. The salesman rips out your air filter (destroying it so you have to buy a new one) and tries to sell you on return vent cleaning. He will start at $ 400, then give you a «deal» for $ 200. Keep saying no and he will end at $ 150. If you keep saying no, they will visibly get upset and cut short the rest of the work (they tried leaving before cleaning the lower floor, citing «all the vents are connected»). Eventually they went downstairs and cleaned the remaining supply vents by spraying an «antibacterial spray» into the vents. Nothing more than Febreze sprayed haphazardly around the vents. As the visit goes on the unprofessionalism and attitude increases exponentially.
Save the money and buy a shop vac and clean your vents yourself. That is LITERALLY all they did. What a joke.

It is difficult to put in words how horrid an experience we had with Fresh Breeze. After ~2 months of scheduling via a call center, I was excited to see they were only moderately late. However, after 20 minutes of tracking dirt on the carpet (I asked them THREE times to take off their shoes) and bumping their ladder into the wall, my excitement was gone. It turned into disgust upon hearing the up-​sells that we needed to have done. I somewhat expected this, similar to carpet cleaning services. However, they told me that they would not perform the service that I had pre-​paid if I didn’t do some of the other services first (they totaled $ 750) when the initial service was $ 49. Thus I received nothing but aggravation, a dirty carpet, and a furnace they did not put back together. Awesome
