When air duct cleaners make the jump from portable units to the American Caddy Vac we are never surprised at the response. They are thrilled with the power, the ease of use, the reliability, the productivity of the American Caddy Vac. It’s to be expected. Portables, while they can certainly be useful in certain applications, are not the all-around tool that the American Caddy Vac is.
Kurt Presley, President/Owner of Dalton Environmental Cleaning
Kurt Presley is the president/owner of Dalton Environmental Cleaning in Whitmore Lake, Michigan. He has five employees he runs as two crews, with three American Caddy Vac trucks. “Back in 2001 we switched from portable equipment. We had portable gas-powered equipment, which was decent, but hard to move around. We would roll them around the backs of the houses or the shortest distance to the furnace. I used disposable bags on them because they would breathe better, but they also let dust come puffing out while we were working, and that’s not good. They were hard to start, you had to start two different motors. They could be very finicky in cold weather. Also, we set them close to the houses, and a lot of times the exhaust smell would come into the house. That’s not good. Then of course, at the end of the day, you’re pretty tired after doing a couple of jobs. If you have to roll that 350-400 pound vacuum up a hill, it gets heavier and heavier as the day goes on!”
“When we switched to the duct cleaning trucks, it just ended all those headaches. I started to have contact with Mac (Mac Mattoon, owner of American Caddy Vac) and he was telling me how, “Once your guys start using our trucks they’ll never want to go back!” and he was right! We started off with a commercial unit. It was kind of a prototype, the first with an automatic transmission. I still have that truck, it still runs fine, we still use it on a daily basis!”
It’s hard to beat a tool that works and works! And the Caddy Vac is the only unit that works out best for everyone! The owner gets a unit that will last and last, with very little more than basic maintenance. The employees get to work with the best unit in the industry, which saves a lot of wear and tear on them. And the customer ends up with ducts that are as clean as they can be. With the power, strength, reliability, and longevity of the American Caddy Vac, it’s absolutely true: You’ll never go back to portables!
