The National Air Duct Cleaning Association has developed an anti-fraud task force and an initiative called Breathing Clean to combat scams and fraudulent companies from targeting unsuspecting homeowners in the air duct-cleaning industry.
The Federal Trade Commission estimates Americans lost more than $4 billion to fraud and scams in the last five years. With the Breathing Clean initiative, NADCA hopes to educate homeowners on the benefits of air duct-cleaning and the importance of hiring a NADCA member company to perform the services. The association is also positioning itself as a resource to homeowners, so they know whether the job was done right.
