Air Duct Cleaning
Why Clean Air Ducts?
Because they get dirty.
In addition to normal accumulations of dust and dirt found in all homes with air ducts, there are several other factors that can increase the need for regular duct system cleaning:
- Pets
- Occupants with allergies or asthma
- Cigarette or cigar smoke
- Water contamination or damage to the home or HVAC system
- Home renovation or remodeling projects
You work hard to keep your home clean and healthy for your family, but there may be harmful contaminants lurking in the places you can’t see. Over time, allergens such as dust, pet dander, and mold can collect and build up inside your air duct system. When this happens, your indoor air can become polluted and unhealthy despite your best efforts.
Improve Indoor Air Quality
Indoor air quality is one concern that homeowners have when they decide to investigate air duct cleaning. Your heating and cooling system is the lungs of your home, taking air in and sending it back out.
Through normal activity in a home, we generate a lot of contaminants and air pollutants, such as dander, dust, and chemicals. These contaminants are pulled into the HVAC system and re-circulated from 5 to 7 times per day. Over time, this re-circulation causes a build-up of contaminants in the ductwork.
While dirty ducts don’t necessarily mean unhealthy air in your home, school or workplace, they may contribute to larger health issues or harbor contaminants that could cause serious problems for people with respiratory health conditions, autoimmune disorders, or allergies.
