Summit Clean Air

If you need your ducts cleaned I recommend Summit Clean Air warmly. I had a new floor installed in my home. Some of the dust generated by the installation landed inside my ducts. During the recent cold spell I turned my heat on to discover white dust was blowing out my vents. I shut off the heat and called a few air duct ceaning companies. I chose Summit because they stated their prices clearly, and were able to give me a late appointment so I didn’t have to take a day off from work. Their apppointments are set within a three hours arrival window, but they did agree to call 30 minutes prior to arrival so I didn’t have to leave work until they were ready to show up. They actually called 30 minutes prior to arrival, came within their arrival window, were quick and professional, and were out before dinner. The technician even stayed with me until I turned the heat on and made sure no dust was blowing out the vents. Problem solved, my home is warm, and it didn’t cost an arm and a leg… Kudos to summit Clean Air!

I really wish I had read the reviews. Totally conned! Had a terrible experience with Leon who was pushy, intrusive and did not stop talking. The coupon is deceiving and Leon gets the workers working before he even tells you the real story. By then its too late and you have little choice but to pay more than you thought. Very disappointing!

Also known as Ace Carpet and Ducts. DO NOT USE, IT IS A SCAM TO GET INTO YOUR HOUSE.
Used this company through Groupon. Difficult to contact them for an appointment. I left multiple messages, then sent an e-​mail which which auto-​replied to call a different phone number to make an appointment, where I left another message! Once they called me to make the appointment, it was three weeks. That’s fine, no rush. but…
They arrived and scrutinized the purchased Groupon and began to set-​up their Vacuum which they repeatedly call a ‘Negative Air Flow’ system. They let it run for a half-​hour after taking pictures of my duct work, disconnected the vacuum and show me how it didn’t do ANYTHING! It will only remove the ‘loose’ dust. Anything which has settled through heat, humidity… etc. needs to have the ‘Deep Cleaning’ at$ 45 per vent! we have 9.
When we say, «no thank you, not today,» the hard sell begins to the point of my husband asking them to leave. now! Oh! but we sealed the duct where there was separation to the tune of $ 75. Fine says my husband. I think this may have been caused by them as the assistant was IN THE ATTIC. Either way, after Sharon? calls the office, the price is reduced to $ 40 and then $ 35 .
The Groupon was a scam to enter my house, size up the situation and put the hard-​sell in place for hundreds.
Fake web-​site also with fake reviews.
I feel like an ass getting taken by these guys.

I bought a coupon on Living Social. This is a classic bait and switch operation. I was supposed to get all my air ducts cleaned, but was told that in order to clean them properly I would have to pay another $ 500! I get my air ducts cleaned every two to three years, but I was shown photos of how filthy they were and was told that the coupon did not apply to that level of cleaning. I would not use this company again. The coupon was very misleading. It did not state that there were different «levels» of cleaning. if I could give zero stars for the rating I would. I don’t like to be taken advantage of. I do business on Unilocal and groupon and I know that when I put out a coupon I am running at a loss. The hope is to get repeat customers. I will NOT be a repeat customer for this firm. I don’t like BAIT AND SWITCH!

I came home from work one day to a house that smelled like something had died in it. I immediately began to look for the source of the smell, and eventually narrowed it down to an air duct vent on the first floor. The smell was so intense that I sent my kids to sleep at a neighbor’s house. I contacted a few air duct cleaners including Summit Clean Air. The Summit scheduler understood my urgency and scheduled an appointment for the next day. A Summit technician came the next morning, and thoroughly examined my ducts and crawl space. It turned out some duct connections in my crawl space had come loose, allowing rodents inside. The technician reconnected the duct sections, scrubbed the whole system with a motorized duct brush, vacuumed out all the matter and sanitized my entire system. He did all that on the same day, so when my kids came home the house no longer smelly. Since this service was not planned in advance, furniture and rugs were obstructing some of my vents. The technician consistently helped with everything. He was knowledgeable and very communicative. He explained everything he did and ruled out some scenarios I was worried about. When I told him one of my kids was asthmatic, he provided me with a fact sheet about the solution he used to sanitize the ducts. Very considerate, effective and helpful. I feel like what could have been a bad experience was solved by this technician quickly and completely. We are all grateful to the technician and to Summit Clean Air!

Job well done! Effective and they knew what they were doing. Honestly it did cost more than what we were expecting but the house was really dirty.

I think the big issue here is the misleading advertisement on Groupon not the actual company. Like most others, my husband and I thought we were getting an amazing deal, $ 50 for duct cleaning, score. Once Leon and his crew showed up and started conducting their analysis we soon realized this was going to be expensive. He actually didn’t tell us anything we didn’t already know — our vents were filthy and mold had built up. Leon was extremely knowledgeable, he took time explaining why certain things needed to be done and what we could wait on which we ended up doing everything suggested since they were already at our home. He answered every question we had and made us feel comfortable with his response. Douglas and Omar were great too — quality work. Would we have not wanted to spend what we ended up spending, of course, but I can honestly say, our house smells amazing, the vents shine bright like a diamond (no more black dust), our overall experience was pleasant and we are very pleased with the work. I would recommend Leon and his great crew anytime.

I bought the deal on LivingSocial. I have bought deals there before and have never had a more annoying sales experience in my life. He kept trying to sell me the world after I repeatedly said NO. Was so annoyed. I would happily pay double the price to a company that does not have such annoying sales people. The other two guys on the job seemed nice enough but the main sales guy was awful.

I am VERY happy with the service I received from Summit Clean Air. I recently moved into a new «old» house and refused to use the AC or heat until my ducts were cleaned. I had purchased a voucher for basic duct cleaning but once the furnace was opened up I agreed with Leon’s assessment that more needed to be done. Yes, I spent more than I had planned but I suffer from allergies and my son from asthma, our health is my #1 priority. Leon and his crew did a great job and actually helped me trouble shoot an issue with the AC unit (which saved me money since I didn’t have to call an HVAC repair person). They were on time, professional and courteous.

Zero stars! Do not use this company! Does not provide intended services. Will schedule you, then cancel day of – indefinitely. Uses name 360 Air Duct Cleaning as well. If you see a groupon or deal from either company do not waste your time or money.

I got a $ 50 air duct cleaning from amazon or groupon. 20 year old house, i am sure it needs it. Well, get ready for the sales pitch. The guy shows up and pretty much tells me that this service is worthless «unless» I upgrade the services. I did it, because I needed to get it done and they were already there, but it put me back another $ 600, $ 25 for each vent that they cleaned.
The standard $ 50 Groupon deal just allows them to hook up a large vacuum to the vent which doesn’t really do much.
Be aware!

Like others, I bought the Air Duct Cleaning Service by Experts Air Duct Pros on Living Social for what seemed like a good deal. Summit Clean Air showed up and hooked a huge «reverse pressure» unit to one vent while shutting off the other vents. They ran this contraption for about 15 – 20 minutes.
One of the gentlemen also took a photo with his iPhone inside of a vent which showed a dusty air duct. Once it was done, he took another photo and the air duct looked about the same as before.
He told me that their reverse pressure unit had only removed about 15% of the dust due to moisture, the phase of the moon, or whatever, and said I’d need to spend another $ 45 per vent (x 5 vents) to properly clean the air ducts. I told him I thought I had already paid to have the air ducts cleaned and that I didn’t wish to spend anything further. He asked if the price was the concern and I said, «Heck yeah, it’s the concern» and he then offered a 15% discount, which I passed on.
They then offered to clean one vent free to show me the difference and I allowed them to do this. Yes, it did look much cleaner, but I declined any further services.
Both fellows were good guys and very friendly and respectful, so it’s nothing personal against them. And I wouldn’t call the tactics «high pressure» per se. They told me what they recommended and how much it cost and I passed.
Would I buy the voucher again or recommend the service? Nope. Did they improve my air ducts a little? Maybe. I’m not sure.
The whole deal smells of bait and switch, so unfortunately I cannot recommend this service, even though they were good guys.

Total ripoff so don’t even think of buying a Living Social voucher.
Like another reveiwer, I bought the voucher from one company «Power Duct Cleaning» (yes, that is their name) but interestingly the company that showed up was SummitCleanAIr. It looks like they use a bunch of alias company names to avoid people checking Unilocal on their real company name.
After hooking up the so-​called equipment into my ducts, I was told that they could «only remove about 10 to15% of the dust»…what a shocker. NOT! I don’t think they really did anything! He showed me pictures he said he took of what my ducts and blower looked like (not even sure if these photos were of MY house).
Then tried to sell me… get this… over $ 500 worth of cleaning to get the remainder since they said it was too caked on to get with the regular equipment.
Unlike other reviewers I said no to everything and got them out of the house.
I too wish I had read reviews before I bought the voucher… beware of these Living Social or Groupon… I have requested a refund from Living Social for the name misrepresentation.
UPDATE: I emailed Living Social to complain and they promptly refunded the $ 49 I paid for the voucher.

I feel the same as most of the 1 star reviews. I bought a coupon on Living Social. Then I got relentlessly pestered to buy additional services. I was trying to get out of house, deal with my dogs, kids etc and Leon followed me everywhere with the hard sell. My husband told me I was an idiot for buying this Living Social coupon and I have to agree. Learn from my mistakes.

Shady Service! My wife found an air duct cleaning service for only $ 35 on LIVING SOCIAL website. Then for an additional $ 10 they would clean the dryer vent. Thought I got an awesome deal. Fist of all they where supposed to show up between 1 – 3 and ended up coming closer to 5. Once they got started there where to guys working and an other guy called Leon hanging around you trying to up sell their service. Started by telling me that it is an additional $ 45 to clean the intake. Then he pulled me aside and showed me pictures on how dirty my vents where and how important it was to get them cleaned and it would be $ 45 per vent I have 9. tried my hardest to haggle him down next thing I knew I was at $ 330. Way more that I originally thought! Then when I thought it was over and trying to convince myself I did the right thing Leon suckered me into paying additional $ 220 to clean the furnace. Granted my vents where filthy especially when I have floor vents on my 2^nd floor. I believe my biggest mistake was going through the living social website where I had no idea the name of the company coming to my home where I could of at least looked them up on Unilocal and seen all the other people that feeling jipped like I do now. Dont deal with living social or this company! Better off finding some Joe off craigslist!

I really wish that I had read these reviews beforehand. However, that was not possible since I bought a livingsocial voucher for «Better Clean USA». And the crew that finally showed up was «Summit Clean Air». I say finally, because my original appointment, they did not show up for or call. It took a lot of calls to get a new appointment. (Which they tried to delay for another month) I never was able to get a manager to call us back. When they did show up the second time they were several hours late. (after reading other reviews I think this may be part of the plan to get you off balance and willing to agree to stuff just to get them out of your house)
It was a three man crew. They hooked up a huge vac to one vent and began to tell me how, «if moisture had gotten into the dirt in the vents, the negative pressure would not work». They also told me that the return was included in the voucher, but the inside of the return was an extra $ 45.00. I immediately figured out that this was going to be a problem. I should have thrown them out right then. They told me the dirt was moist and needed agitation to be removed, of course. I paid for a voucher for duct cleaning. You would think that would include «cleaning the damned ducts» but all that was extra. When I said no way, of course the price went down. I finally agreed to a «reduced price» to clean the stupid ducts.
By this time, it is dark, I have guests over and am unable to actually supervise the work that is or is not being done. Leon followed me around talking and trying to get me to buy additional services. I refused any further services, but boy did he follow me around and keep interrupting me to rack up more sales. But I held firm.
He did find that my filter was dirty, which I expected. It was also installed improperly, so that was good to know. And he found that the batteries in my thermostat were bulging and changed them. Also a good thing.
Usually, I’m much better at handling these high pressure tactics. But I had guests over. And, the noise and constant disruptions were extremely distracting. I said no to a lot of different services, about ten different times. If my husband had been home he would have thrown theses guys out!!!
I ended up paying $ 280 plus the amount of the voucher.
I will definitely contact living social, because they should NOT EVER do business with this type of operation. It gives them a really bad name!!!

our air ducts. The whole house smelled horrible. We frantically called around to see who can make this disruption go away. Summit Clean Air sent a great team over, and within three hours the problem was fixed. The technician and his helpers were thorough, methodical and knowledgeable. The problem was fix, and thanks to the Summit team we are back to our normal lives.
If you ever encounter such problem — I recommend this team warmly.

Can I give negative stars… ugh!!! I bought a voucher thru Amazon Local… It included a complete system cleaning and sanitizing… Leo“the owner” started by trying to up sell saying the «this and that» wasn’t part of the system, that the return wasn’t part of the system… He was only there to clean the vents… He challenged me to show him the voucher where it included the return to be included… It included more than that, the voucher included approx. 8 things for him to complete… He refused to honor the voucher and then claimed he was sub contracted and he never agreed to honor such a voucher… I told him it wasn’t my problem, he needed to take it up with his employer… They ended up vacuuming 1 vent and the return with a shop vac… He claimed his negative pressure vacuum would clean 3 floors of vent work without him doing as much as sweeping out the other vents… What a waste of time… AmazonLocal immediately refunded my money and opened an investigation against this contractor and US Solutions… Don’t trust any of them to come into your house… This guy is a complete joke…

Extremely disappointed! We found this company through Groupon and bought two vouchers for $ 40 each. This was supposed to cover the cleaning for all the ducts and vents in my house. (We have two zones.)
Three men came together. While one man went right to work, the other man came straight to me and started talking to me about other services offered. After a quick inspection, I was told that I had a million different issues with my vents and ducts. This is when the up-​selling began. While one of the guys seemed to be working, Leon followed me around talking and trying to get me to buy additional services. (The third guy was «training» and just stood around watching.)
Usually, I’m much better at handling these high pressure situations. But I had a guest over, tile guys working, and kids running around. I said no to about 12 different services, about ten different times. Finally, after an extra long guilt trip about my kids allergies, I relented and said, «Fine, do the vent scrubbing.» He kept saying how much money I would save and how it was only discounted today. (Such a sucker.)
I ended up paying $ 660 and a few minutes later, they were done and on their way out leaving me feeling incredibly sick to my stomach. Part of it was feeling like a total sucker. The other part was feeling like they were total scammers and I paid $ 660 for nothing. It would be one thing if I thought they actually did the services promised, but there is no way they stayed long enough to do a thorough job. BUYER BEWARE!!! This is a mistake I will never make again.

Just to start off with, I am very hard to please.
I bought one of those vouches thru livingsocial a few weeks ago for duct cleaning for $ 49.00. I am not dumb. I knew I was going to have someone trying to sell me alot of extra things when the tech came out to clean our ducts. But I have done this before and I knew what to expect. Well let me tell you I WAS TOTALLY SURPRISE. The reason we sceduled to have this done was because we felt our ducts had to be really dirty and possiblity needed a deep cleaning. I have alot of allergeries and breathing problems and was hoping that this cleaning would help.
From the first time the service techs showed up and started working my husband was very impressed with the quality of work that they was putting into the job. The service man reported to my husband we had black mold in are ducting. He took pictures and showed the evidence to my husband. Who told the service man to do what he had to do to fix the ducting so the black molf would be gone. We also wanted to install the UV CLEANSER that fliters out all the germs coming into the home. Let me tell you since we have had this all done, we can breathe better, no more coughing, headaches, runny eyes, all the signs of a cold and allergies. The air smells clean. Its great for me not to have to dust my furniture every day if I dont want too. The air is clean. We are so happy that we did this, my doctors cant believe my lungs have cleared up so well. Its scary to think what would of happen if I didnt get my ducts clean… I highly recommend Leon the service tech that came out to our house, he was honest and trustworthly.
