Air Duct / Ventilation Cleaning
Did you know that indoor air is found to be up to 70 times more polluted than outdoor air? Dust, dirt, pollen, animal dander, and other air borne contaminants are pulled into your duct system every time your furnace or air conditioner runs! Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems have been shown to be a collection source for a variety of contaminants that have the potential to affect your families health, such as mold, fungi, bacteria, and very small particles of dust. The removal of such contaminants from the HVAC system and home should be considered as one component in an overall plan to improve indoor air quality.
Another risk to consider is the presence of moisture. The potential for microbiological growth or "mold" is increased and spores from such growth may be released into the home's living space. Some of these contaminants have been linked to allergic reactions or other symptoms if you are exposed to them. If you decide to have your heating and cooling system cleaned, it is important to make sure the service provider agrees to clean all components of the system and is qualified to do so. Failure to clean a component of a contaminated system can result in re-contamination of the entire system, thus negating any potential benefits.
HVAC units that are clogged or have a blockage will allow particles to be drawn into the air ducts. The particles can also pass through fiberglass filters and infiltrate into HVAC equipment, undermining the performance and energy efficiency of these systems. This can lead to high repair and maintenance costs.
Air duct cleaning is a proactive solution to these problems. Having your air ducts cleaned on a regular basis will help to enhance indoor air quality of your home, improve the overall air circulation in your home, eliminate any excess build up of dirt and other contaminants, as well as extend the life of your homes heating and cooling systems.
