Telemarketers can sure be so annoying at times. They call for everything, and duct cleaning is one of those things that I personally get the most calls about. And windows too. And the banks trying to sell their insurance or credit cards… those guys are relentless too.
At City Duct Cleaning, telemarketing is something that we DO NOT engage in. Just about everyone already knows about duct cleaning these days, and if you need our services for whatever the reason, we are always very easy to find.
The people who offer you duct cleaning by telemarketing to you almost exclusively want to sell you a whole house special… something that sounds really cheap over the phone, but then turns out to be something quite different once they are in your home.
One thing worth mentioning also, is that duct cleaning companies who offer whole house specials tend to be among the biggest ripoff companies in this industry. We’ve seen many such companies come and go since we opened for business in 1987, and will be happy to see these crooks go as well. You should always do some homework before you hire anyone to do any work in your home no matter what the service might be.
The best and safest way to handle those calls is to just say no to every telemarketer who calls, and if you DO want such a thing or service, then go and seek out that service for yourself. And don’t worry about passing on that special “deal”. You just did yourself a huge favor by saying no.
Here are some suggestions about how to handle those annoying telemarketers and even junk mail too.
