Why Air Duct Calls Need a Specialist

Air duct cleaning is a considered purchase. Callers often have questions about what's involved, how long it takes and what it costs, and many are comparing several companies.

Clear, confident answers and an easy booking process convert those callers. Unanswered calls or vague answers send them elsewhere.

A dedicated receptionist explains your service, quotes by system and vent count, books jobs, routes technicians and reminds past customers when it's time again.

Intake Questions We Ask

Your receptionist works from an air duct intake script you approve. These are the questions most air duct owners start with:

  1. How many HVAC systems and roughly how many vents?
  2. Home size and number of floors?
  3. Any recent renovation, pets or allergy concerns?
  4. Is dryer vent cleaning needed too?
  5. Any visible mold or debris?
  6. Residential or commercial?
  7. Preferred date and time?
  8. Did you see a promotion or coupon?
