    Excellent experience. They were professional, came on time, and used a safer, more gently cleaning method because our vents looked like they had asbestos insulation. They explained every step of the process to me so I understood how our furnace worked. Would recommend Insulation Gurus to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and reliable duct cleaning service.
