They did a really professional job cleaning and sanitizing my ducts. They were able to clean a little mold growth from my air units during the process and pinpointed how moisture was settling and adjusted the units accordingly. They are fair in price and very thorough. I highly recommend them and will be using them again in the future!

Quick to respond and schedule appointments on yelp. Reasonable price. Folks came and showed me photos of the cleaning. Would be nice if they also clean the wall around the vents with dust from the vent. But I guess that wasn't part of the job and I didn't ask them to do that. All in all, I highly recommend Ductech!

Had them out to clean our dryer vent and they did a fantastic job. The tech was on time, super polite, and got right to work. Pulled out a ton of lint I didn't even realize was stuck in there. The dryer runs way faster now and dries everything in one cycle. Honest pricing, no upsells. Will definitely call them again next year

How we grade

Satisfaction (54%) — Recency-weighted star average (2-year half-life), shrunk toward the category mean by review volume; the company’s own lifetime average as the prior; absolute: 4.0★ = 0, 5★ = 100.

Reliability (24%) — How rarely jobs go badly: share of 1–2★ reviews — 60% the last 24 months (or the 20 newest if fewer), 40% all-time; 0% = 100, 15%+ = 0; the category percentile can only raise it.

Craft & service (penalty, up to −10) — Google review highlights: Quality, Professionalism, Responsiveness, Punctuality — how rarely reviewers flag them as a negative, per review since highlights began; 0% = 100, 5%+ = 0. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in — clean highlights are the norm, not a bonus.

Value (14%) — Customers’ own price verdicts (Great / Reasonable vs Overpriced) and Value highlights; 65% absolute (all “reasonable” ≈ 80, “great” = 100), the category percentile can only raise it.

Momentum (penalty, up to −10) — Penalises only a real slide: last-12-month average below lifetime (−0.5★ = 0). Still 4.8★+ over the last year, or steady/improving = 100. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in.

Replies to reviews (7%) — How often the owner publicly replies to reviews under 5★ (1–4★). Needs 3+ such reviews, otherwise not counted; 65% absolute (80%+ replied = 100), the category percentile can only raise it.
