This company is a SCAM!
I purchased our home over two years ago and although I've never noticed dust flying out of the vents, having a 3 month old baby, and seeing coupons for $179 for air duct cleaning, enticed me.
I called the Blackmon Mooring on Monday late evening and was initially pleasantly surprised that they were able to schedule a technician immediately for the following day. The appointment was at 4pm for service. At 4:15pm I called to inquire as to their ETA. The person on the phone yelled at me that they had been calling me all day to verify my address because they did not have it. I never received said calls. In retrospect, I'm glad for this as this made me--ever so gullible--cautious of the company.
The ""technicians"" arrived after 4:30 and asked to borrow a ladder as they had forgetten theirs at the previous home. They said it was company policy to check the attic to ensure that everything was well before starting the job. Within TWO minutes of opening the attic space the technician asked to borrow a camera to take pictures of the ""damage"" he had found. He also hypothesized that the damage was caused by rats although we have never heard any noises or seen anything to indicate as such. Within that two minute time frame he determined that the entire air duct system would need to be replaced at a tune of $3,000!! I immediately thought that I'd want a second opinion by a reputable company. The guy then started to pressure me into committing to having the work done the following day and progressively lowered the price. He started by saying that he had another job in my area on the following day so he wold call his boss to ask for a discount as I was a nice lady and he would be in the area. He said his boss agreed to $2,000 but only if I committed on the spot for the following morning. I declined. This time without having to call his boss for a discount appoval he said he could do it for $1,700. I declined and quickly ushered them out of my home. After a few minutes they returned saying that they had left a tool behind and also had good news. They could do the entire job for $1500 but they needed me to agree to the work before the end of the day. I declined and told them to get their tool and get out. I was so upset, I called their office, and requested to speak with a manager. After about 30 minutes of run around, I decided to hang up because it was apparent I was never going to get to speak with a manager. This is one of the worst companies I have ever dealt with.
