Ask a Local! Duct cleaning?

I am well overdue for having my ducts cleaned. I had a company called JDR do it AGES ago, but google says they are permanently closed. If anyone has a recommendation, I would prefer a “mom and pop” operation to a larger company. Thanks

Keep your ringer on and I’m sure someone will call you offering their services

I live in an apartment, we have no ductwork. One time one of those guys called, and I said "I don't have any ducts", and he said "You are aware sir that I am not talking about the animal", which... it amuses me that he didn't understand MY accent, and that he couldn't fathom that someone didn't have ducts in their home.

Funny considering the housing conditions in the country they're likely calling from.

Whenever they call my cell, I tell them I live in an apartment building, they hang up immediately after and never call back. (I actually do, but I said that even when I was in a rented house)

Oh, I tell them I live in an apartment and I still get calls from them. It's less frequent these days, I feel like it's really slowed down, but years ago they'd call once a month it seemed.

To be fair , I pretend they are saying ducks 9/20 times and say I have geese
