Start with the condition.
Understand the scope.
Explain the dusty work, which rooms or openings were affected and whether the HVAC system operated during it. Ask how further dust entry will be controlled and how the observed condition will determine the assessment or cleaning scope. Separate building cleanup from system work and request a record of the components addressed.
What may be involved
- supply registers
- return registers
- filters
- documented affected components
Ask the provider to distinguish existing parts to inspect, proposed replacements, and tools, materials or reports included in the service. Confirm the work and exclusions after assessment; this list does not mean that every item will be supplied or replaced.
LOCAL RESEARCH / Lake Cherokee
Local exposure
Orange County's storm-repair guidance states that window and exterior door replacements always require a permit, that mechanical repairs including air-conditioning replacement or major ductwork repairs need one, and that replacing broken glass in an existing frame without changing its size or type does not. It also warns that unlicensed contractors may try to take advantage of residents after a storm and that work done without a permit may not be covered by homeowners' insurance. Worth reading before arranging duct and air-handler work on storm damage in Lake Cherokee, and worth telling the insurer about in advance.

Before the visit
Building age and weather cannot establish duct contamination. The system itself needs to be inspected.
