A week ago, Dave and Evan did an excellent job in providing duct cleaning services at my home. What impressed me most was their professionalism and respect they showed to me as their customer. They are certainly very knowledgeable about their work and did it exceptionally well. They checked with me before they made any changes (eg if they needed to make a hole somewhere) and explained everything to me as they went along. Also, they gave me lots of advice on several issues dealing with maintaining my home energy efficient and I found that incredible. Futher they showed me things the last serivers did not do properly and offered to fix a few things for me free. And they work well together too! I was so impressed with their expertise and the quality of their work that I told Dave I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anybody willing to call me for an opinion. These guys are the best! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for duct cleaning services.

I have been happy with Dave's work every time - the first was a year ago when I moved into a new home and had Dave clean the ducts and the carpets. Found his service was professional and he stood by his quote. No surprises. Dave comes across as very honest and he is a friendly person. Today, over a year later, I noticed a leak from my furnace and my AC was not working so well. I called Dave at 7 pm and he was at my place at 7:45 PM and helped me fix the problem very quickly. Also gave me lots of great advice. He has some trusted folks he will recommend when they are more suitable for certain jobs and I have used one of them to with great satisfaction. Dave's rates are very good and he really does a quality job. I recommend him whole heartedly. So much so this is my first recommendation on HomeStars.

I hired Dave to perform my duct cleaning services, along with central vac cleaning and dryer/dryer duct cleaning for a home I just recently moved into based on the reviews here on Homestars. I wanted to start fresh, so I opted for the whole package which he gave me a great deal on! I didn't need the carpet cleaning option as the house is hardwood throughout, otherwise, I probably would've asked him to perform that too! I must say, I couldn't agree more with all the reviews on here combined! Here's my story and contribution to his Med Air's reviews. My appointment was for 5:30pm. I was waiting in the driveway and around that time, a large truck pulled into my street and I thought it was him. As the truck got closer and slowly drove by me , I read the side of the truck and realized it was a different duct cleaning company (I won't disclose the name) which pulled into a house around 5-6 houses down from me. I called Dave and he informed me he was stuck in traffic, which is terrible at that time, so I patiently waited as he said he was close. The other duct cleaning company turned on the vacuum at around 5:40pm (pretty loud) and it remained on until Dave arrived. Dave and Evan pulled got to my house around 5:45pm. I showed them down into the basement and they assessed the situation/layout of what existing holes they can use, where to make new ones (for a proper cleaning on all sides), where to bring the hose in, etc. By the time we went back out to his truck (before 6pm), the other duct cleaning truck was gone and the street was quiet... for the meantime! We were all quite surprised (especially me) at how fast they came and went! I asked Dave how is was possible that the other company did it in about 15-20 minutes, when he told me it would take him around 3 hours. I did a quick search here on Homestars for reviews and found that company to be 0 stars... so that pretty much explained it. I spent the entire 3 hours basically overseeing the work that was being performed by Dave and Evan, asked questions along the way, and Dave and Evan fully explained everything. It was a very entertaining 3 hours for me. Not only did they blow very high compressed air in various locations, they also made all these small holes in the duct system which allowed them to insert a small hose with special rubber snake-like endings that beat around the inside of the ducts which was also attached to the compressed air to thoroughly clean inside around the duct walls and push all the dirt towards the vacuum inlet attachment. The sound reminded me of those Alien type movies, when they run through the ducts. hahaha! Dave also cleaned out my furnace and changed the filter for me that I had laying around. They also sprayed a disinfectant solution into the ducts and they taped and plugged all the holes when they were done. The things that came out of my ducts was shocking to me! Pop cans, drink trays, large chunks of drywall, chunks of wood, old paper work from the builder, a load of other chunks of dirt and debris, etc etc etc. Quite disturbing to know that all that crap was in there! Evan did the cleaning on my central vac system. He cleaned out all the lines and cleaned the main unit, filter, and canister. Vacuum suction is great now. Prior to this, it was very weak. Dryer cleaning also went very well! They blew out a ton of dirt, debris and lint. They found that the dryer vent hose within the wall was not connected properly and the dryer was basically venting the hot air and lint into the wall space for who knows how long! So much lint, I probably could've made a pillow out of it! Scary when you think about it! That could easily catch on fire!!! Dave took the time attach the hose within the wall, which was very tricky as he was working with basically the hole in the wall the size of the dryer duct. Once he had his arm in there, there's no way to really see or use his other nad so he had to go by feel. After some time, he was able to find a way to drill the screws in to stabilize the metal hoses in place. He provided the flexible slinky like dryer hose, connected it, did a test run and voila... 100% venting to the outside and not into my wall! Dave and Evan did an extremely awesome job!!! Dave's methods and techniques for duct cleaning is top notch. He was very open and honest everything, even his equipment. He told me he has the 2nd most powerful vacuum on the market along with a 250 psi compressor. Don't think just because he doesn't have the most powerful vacuum on the market, doesn't mean the level of cleanliness will be less. Like any trade, it's not about having the best equipment, but it's about having the right equipment for a qualified and skilled person that uses the right practices and proper techniques to get the job done perfectly. The vents blow a lot stronger and colder now and the air does indeed feel a lot fresher/cleaner. I now have a peace of mind that all that crap that came out is out for good! Many thanks again Dave and Evan!!! I highly recommend Med Air to anyone who wants the highest level of service! You will be left extremely satisfied.

Great service and great price! Dave called to update about arrival time, and he and Evan worked quickly, thoroughly and efficiently. They were polite, informed and informative, and very thorough. Dave also identified an unsealed section of duct that previous cleaners (and our contractors) had not noticed and fixed it. He also let us know about a number of other simple DIY fixes we should take care of regarding dryer exhaust, furnace filters etc. Furnace room was left in spotless condition. Med Air business card is now stuck on fridge door - I don't want to forget these guys and I will call them again for sure!

Dave and Evan were both on time and very friendly. I felt very comfortable with them being in my home. Dave first took a look at my furnace and told me i had a choice to make. In order to clean one side of my venting Dave said for the best clean it would be a better choice to cut a whole in the dry wall so he could hook up his vaccuum properly as to not damage my furnace. He was not pushy on the matter and the extra cost would only be $40 and he had a vent cover to put over top for future cleaning. I decieded to go for the better cleaning and Dave and Evan got to work. Evan went to each room one at a time working for top to bottom. Blowing down all the dirt and junk down to the vaccuum. All while answering all my questions. He was able to answer all my questions, and all made sense and he explained thing to me till I understood completely. Dave and Evan took 2 hours to clean the ducts. When they had finished packing up, Dave pointed out to me a few things I should think about changing, such as furnace filters and tapeing the venting to prevent heat loss. No extra cost or unexpecfed fees. Everything he said was something I could do myself. An hour later they returned with the carpet cleaning machine to do the carpets on my top floor. The machine was massive and the power head thing they used worked amazing. My carpet looks new. My wife is very pleased to see all my coffee stains out of the carpet aswell. Its only been a few days but i notice almost no dust in the house I have not coughed once since the job ended and can feel myslef breathing better and better. Thank you Dave and Evan. You truely are a homestar 10!

They did a very good job cleaning the ducts plus they were on-time, friendly, and didn't go over the verbal estimate that I was given during our initial phone conversation. It's also clear that they aren't satisfied until YOU are satisfied and that, to me , is important. I would highly recommend them!

Professional and extremely thorough - and I learned a lot about the thirteen year old home I just purchased from David and coworker Evan. When I moved in I immediately noticed how fast dust was accumulating - a normal event during a move - but it was the dark dust in the bathrooms and the filthy state of the vents that made me suspect that the ducts may never have been cleaned. Based on what came out of the ducts - construction wood and labels from ductwork dating back to 1998 - if they were ever cleaned -it was a haphazard job. Dave couldn't be sure from the state of the ductwork and any obvious holes from previous cleaning. When they made the holes for the vacuum, dust was falling out immediately. Dave and Evan started in the basement and drew a lot of dust from the ducts and then went from vent to vent with a high pressure compressor and blew the dust down again. They were extremely thorough on each stage of the cleaning. They then disinfected the vents and a very clean gentle odor permeated the house for a short time - and then disappeared. Dave then pointed out some major deficiencies with my duct work. The builder had only used one screw on each join versus the three that are meant to be used. Every join was going to need to be wrapped with tin tape as I was losing about 30% of my heat through the ducts. I could either have him do it - but suggested that I could easily do it for a lot less with a couple of rolls of tape to save some money. He also pointed out holes where wood was missing and causing more heat loss (my basement is unfinished) and a suggestion to bring my cold air return to the floor which would give me better efficiency as well. He also pointed out a gas pipe that should be added to further provide more efficiency. Next he worked on my Central Vac that had almost no suction. I didn't know if there was a problem with the unit or the pipes were just dirty. After he cleaned out the vac in the same manner that he cleaned the ducts - vent by vent - he did a further repair on the gun type handle that I discovered was broken when I moved into the house. The vacuum now had terrific suction and was super clean. Dave also took the time to take a look at the vent that had been installed in a cupboard over my microwave and gave me the bad news that neither the electrical was up to code and the venting was very poorly done. (Which is why I asked him in the first place to look at it - as it looked like a makeshift job to me) Dave immediately saw problems that my home inspector should have caught. As a single woman buying a home, I really depended on the home inspector to find all the deficiencies. He did find some - but this is now the second issue in a few short weeks that I have discovered he missed. All I can say is a big thank you to Dave as his suggestions will save me big time on my gas bill, and I already know I won't be spending huge amounts of time trying to keep on top of the dust with a central vac that was picking up none of it. They were both extremely courteous and took the hoses in through a basement window so they weren't sitting on hardwood floors. I really appreciated that. Evan even nailed a missing downspout back together for me - just because he noticed it had fallen off. How nice is that? They spent about three and a half hours completing the job - so you know right there that they were doing the job to perfection. I have to thank Homestars once again for a terrific lead on a company that gave me professional, thorough, excellent quality workmanship. I highly - highly recommend them. I am so happy that I won't be breathing in anymore of the dirt they hauled away with them. If you want the job done properly - you must call Dave and Evan. Thanks guys for all your help...
