NADCA Alerts Global Air Duct Cleaning Industry to Severe Case of Trademark Fraud

The National Air Duct Cleaners Association has issued an urgent warning to the global air duct cleaning industry.  An individual affiliated with a NADCA Regular Member Company in the United Arab Emirates has fraudulently trademarked the NADCA name in the UAE and is operating under the misleading title “NADCA Systems.” This individual is promoting a fraudulent certification program that falsely claims affiliation with NADCA. These certifications, marketed through nadcasystems.com, are completely illegitimate, providing no recognized credentials.

NADCA CEO Jodi Araujo, CEM, warns, “This program provides no legitimate credentials, and
they are outright robbing professionals in our industry by falsely suggesting that this certification
is officially recognized by NADCA.” Araujo adds, “These actions are a flagrant betrayal of trust
and a direct assault on the reputation and standards of the air duct cleaning community.”

NADCA reminds the industry that it does not certify or sell equipment and does not endorse
individuals or companies. Any use of the NADCA logo on such items is fraudulent. The
organization urges professionals to work only with NADCA-approved associate members who
adhere to NADCA’s strict Code of Ethics, ensuring trustworthy and ethical business practices.

NADCA calls on industry professionals to help spread the word about this
fraudulent activity. If you have encountered “NADCA Systems” or any of their materials, or if you
suspect fraudulent activity, please contact NADCA immediately.
