You can then mail it in to get results and call us back to treat if u like. We believe the previous owners rarely ran their AC therefore causing mold. Advice, experiences, comments, PLEASE

Generally, I don't think routine vent cleaning is a good idea, especially for flexible ducts, because they are easily damaged. But, mold is a problem. I would be skeptical of someone who gives you a fixed price to remove mold, because I think it is very difficult to determine the extent of the problem. I would get a few opinions. I don't know what you mean by the "main vent". Is that inside your supply fan unit (furnace) in the garage, or inside the house? If it is just inside the fan unit, it should be relatively easy to fix. In fact, if you have mold inside the unit, it may be cheaper to replace the entire unit if it is old. Also, mold damage inside your house may be covered by your homeowners insurance. Fresh Air Solutions has a 2 of 5 rating on Yelp with 28 reviews. Lots of complaints. They also offer Groupon discounts, which would turn me off to them. Good luck.
