    Ultra Vac Furnace & Duct Cleaning began in the summer of 2019.  Within months of starting, a global pandemic shocked the world.  Senior Engineer and Owner, Bradley Jacobson declined all Provincial, Municipal and Federal funding and built a business and a corporate brand based around one word... Integrity. Working in an industry that sends commissioned sales people into peoples homes to charge as much money as possible to facilitate a thorough duct cleaning, Bradley decided to offer a completely different business model.  He calls this "Integity Pricing" and offered an Unlimited Vent & Duct Cleaning special.  For one fair prie, Ultra Vac Furnace & Duct Cleaning will clean a home or buisness's ENTIRE duct system from every vent back to the furnace (or air handling unit) for a preset price.  No extra costs.  No surprises. Bradley took Ultra Vac from an idea and built it into an instiutuion.  Ultra Vac continues to win awards for excellence in industry, customer service, safety and integrity.  Bradley has been featured on television as an industry speicialist on several occassions. Ultra Vac served 3,472 clients in 2021 and has already served 2,595 calls so far in 2022!  All this while maintaining a perfect 5 star rating on every online rating system!  (Google, iTrustLocal, Kijiji, Facebook).  Bradley possesses a very unique perspecitve to business.  His philosopy is "If you look after people, money will look after you.  If you chase money, it will only grow wings and fly away."  It is this approach to looking after people that has lead to Ultra Vac's success.  Bradley has provided his techncians with the most powerful industrial equipment in the industry and has provided them with industry leading wages and not commissions.  Bradley serves his team with the same level of excellence and integrity that he expects his staff to provide their customers.  

    Since Ultra Vac has begun to offer Unlimited Vent & Duct Cleaning pricing, several companies have changed their pricing strategies and are now offering the same type of price structure.  This is exremely exciting because one of the goals Bradley had in starting Ultra Vac was to transform the entire duct cleaning industry through integrity.  Having competitors completely change how they are charging their customers because of Bradley's success is a testament to the power one person can have to make changes to the world. As a certified life coach, Bradley works on the growth of his team both personally as well as professionally.  His staff are treated as a team and Bradley leads by example.  When there are difficult and filthy situations, Bradley gets into them and always looks after the worst case scenarios personally.  This leadership style encourages his team to rise to his level of excellence and when the team needs time off, Bradley steps into their roles to ensure the customers are well looked after. 

    But don't just take our words for it!  We are connecting Ultra Vac's Google Review page as part of our submission so you can read what our customers have to say about their experience having Ultra Vac provide their homes and businesses with the healthies air possible by the best team in the business!
