Client requested a duct cleaning estimate to be conducted at one of their properties. Upon arrival i spoke with the renter to get access to the attic to inspect the ducts. There are 2 units in the attic one for upstairs and down stairs. I inspected both units duct runs and plenum boxes they both could benefit from having the ducts cleaned. Tenant did state that she had dust coming out of the vent in the kitchen hen area. I also checked the blower wheels for each unit and they could benefit from a cleaning as well to allow better air flow to the home and help prolong the life of the blower motors. Spoke with property management and they are sending the estimates over to the owner since it is over the maintenance allowance limit.
