WHAT TO EXPECT
Your service provider should:
Open access ports or doors to allow the entire system to be cleaned and inspected.
Use only high-efficiency particle (HEPA) air-vacuuming equipment.
Protect carpet and household furnishings during cleaning.
Use well-controlled brushing equipment with vacuums to dislodge dust and other particles.
Take care to protect duct work, including sealing and reinsulating any access holes he or she may have made.
