     Rutledge added, “Being contacted by NADCA to comment in the Duct Cleaning industry’s leading trade publication meant a lot to us, it showed us that we are doing something right; not only are we doing a good job in making clients aware of our company but a good job of making clients aware of NADCA and the importance of following the NADCA Guidelines and using a NADCA Certified Contractor when having your HVAC System cleaned.”
