  About us
 

Our History
In 1983, Air Duct Cleaning Company was started to decontaminate
air conditioning systems by means of source removal of debris and contaminants. 
In 1993, with the company continuing to take even more responsibility for the
air quality in homes, offices and work spaces we added an IAQ Investigations division, and the corporate identity of the company evolved into The Machado
Environmental Corporation. 
George F. Machado, Founder

Client Satisfaction
Specialists: Indoor Air Quality solutions and air movement systems cleaning are our main lines of endeavor. Since our inception, we have performed tens of thousands of successful system cleaning projects.

 Experience and training: Our owners: George Machado, President and Tom Pula, Vice President are putting to good use their three decades of combined experience in the field. They were among the first group of professional HVAC system cleaning contractors to successfully pass the NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaners Association) certification examination and have been awarded the prestigious title of certified Air System Cleaning Specialist (ASCS).

Our acclaimed Indoor Air Quality Investigations division has a dedicated and professional staff who are pioneers in the field of indoor air quality. They have written, and have had published, scientific papers regarding indoor air quality, have received endorsements from other professionals in the field of indoor air quality, and regularly hold indoor air quality seminars to improve the industry’s and public’s understanding of indoor air quality.

We excel at communicating effectively with the customer to ensure that they receive the service that is needed, when it is needed. We tailor our production time to work with our clients' in a timely, non-intrusive schedule that fits their work or home environment.

We use high-quality materials designed for the customer’s specific application in air movement systems, these materials  meet or exceed all codes or guideline requirements.

Proven Methodology
Air movement system cleaning and decontamination is a specialized technical activity requiring such basics as chemistry, microbiology toxicology, etc.; a basic working understanding of heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems, in addition to it’s own specialized know-how of system cleaning and sanitizing, contaminated material removal, insulation repair or replacement, sheet-metal practices, corrosion abatement, HVAC component protection, as well as many others.

We use a time-tested methodology that guarantees results. In fact, a recent joint research project by the National Air Duct Cleaners Association and the Environmental Protection Agency's research validated what we have been insisting on for years, in spite of wide-spread industry agreement that new technology was better. The project proved that duct system surfaces must be thoroughly brushed and the results directly inspected.

Add the necessity for a solid grasp of safety measures for both workmen and occupants and you have an activity that must be practiced by a knowledgeable, highly-experienced, very ethical company. Air movement system cleaning isn’t simply an "add on" service to be practiced by rug cleaners, chimney sweepers, asbestos removers and others.

For our customer’s security and safety, we carry a full line of Worker's Compensation and liability insurance, have a C-20 contractor’s license (#719286) and janitorial bond.

Technology Assurance
We believe in staying up to date with technology and always strive to improve the industry for you. We are experts in our field and actively support the following organizations.

The Bottom Line
We go for the result the client needs to solve his particular indoor air quality problem. Our purpose is to deliver what is best for the customer’s needs. This may even include recommending other professionals, if necessary, to get the job done right. Our motto is "We do what is best for the client."
