DUCT CLEANING

duct cleaning

Do you have uninvited guests? What you can’t see can hurt you! Indoor air quality is a steadily increasing health concern.

Your home or office duct work is like the lungs of the building. Over time, airborne contaminants build up in your duct work. This warm, moist environment provides the perfect breeding ground for fungi, dust mites, bacteria, mold spores, and a number of other microbes. Every time your system comes on, these contaminants are spewed into the air stream to be inhaled by you. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has ranked poor Indoor Air Quality as one the the highest risks to health among all types of environmental problems.

Beyond the health concerns, a poorly maintained system can be costly. Dust and soil will impact your system’s efficiency, causing it to work harder and longer to achieve the desired temperature. Not only will the heating and cooling portions of your utility reflect your system’s diminished capacity, dirty and restricted equipment can result in premature replacement.

 
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), pollutant levels are 2 to 5 times higher inside the home than out. These pollutants include airborne particles and particulate matter, which can be allergens or lung irritants, as well as gases, chemicals, and volatile organic compounds.
 
 
 
Most people spend 90% of their time indoors, according to the American Lung Association. It is obvious why indoor air quality is important to our health. We typically inhale what amounts to about two tablespoons a day of airborne particles.
 
 
 
Children and the elderly are especially vulnerable to poor indoor air quality (Department of Consumer Affairs). Your home’s walls do not keep pollen outside. 80% of allergy sufferers are allergic to dust mite allergen.
 
 
 
Most commercially available fiberglass filters are less than 7% efficient at filtering out harmful contaminants according to ASHRAE, the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers.
