What is your family breathing?
Indoor Air Pollution is consistently in the EPA’s Top 5 Risks for Public Health. Without even knowing it, the air duct system in your own home could be contaminated with harmful particles. And every time your HVAC system turns on, it circulates dust, mites, animal dander, pollen and bacteria throughout your entire home.
Clean Ducts Save You Money
The harder your HVAC system needs to work to move air through the ducts, the higher your energy bill will be. With just months of usage, the build-up inside can significantly impact the efficiency of your unit, putting stress on the whole system and shortening its lifespan — not to mention raising your electric bill!
All homes will accumulate contaminants in their duct work, but any of these can make it much worse…
- Pets
- Occupants with Allergies or Asthma
- Cigarette or Cigar Smoke
- Water Contamination or Damage to the Home / HVAC System
- Home Renovation or Remodeling Projects
Some occupants are more sensitive to these contaminants than others. Allergy and asthma sufferers, as well as young children and the elderly tend to be more susceptible to the types of poor indoor air quality that air duct cleaning can help to address.
How Do I Know if I Need Duct Cleaning?
If you answer “YES” to any of the following questions, you could have an indoor air pollution problem…
- Do you have an air circulating system that utilizes a standard fiberglass filter?
- Do you have pets?
- Are there smokers in the house?
- Does anyone in your house suffer from allergies, asthma, or other respiratory problems?
- Do you regularly clean excessive dust accumulations from your household furniture?
- Do you experience headaches, nausea, burning sensations in the nose, throat, or eyes when inside the home?
- Do you have “dust trails” or discoloring coming out of your air duct registers?
- When you last changed your furnace filter, did you see dust and dirt inside the filter housing?
Dirt, dust, mold, pollen, and animal dander are recirculated through our air ducts every time we turn on our heat or air conditioner. Combine this with moisture and you have the ideal breeding ground for fungi, germs, and household mold. Studies have confirmed that some diseases, including salmonella, strep, and legionnaires disease are spread by contaminated air ducts.
