There is a big difference between them in what their offered services are, and what they are licensed and certified to do in your home.

I honestly don’t know how a company could be licensed to ‘clean’ a furnace, but not inspect it. I’ve never heard of a licensed furnace cleaner.

Originally, we were told to get the furnace cleaned by a licenced furnace cleaning company. I found a furnace cleaning company on line, told them the reason for the cleaning, and made the appt. I asked if the company was licenced and was told yes. After the cleaning, we were told we had to have the furnace inspected also. So I called back the company and was told they weren't licenced to inspect. Bottom line is we had to pay another person to inspect and tear the whole thing apart again. So, we ended up paying twice to have the furnace cleaned and inspected. Can you explain to me the difference between being a licenced furnace cleaner and furnace inspector? Thank you.
