Have you ever considered improving the quality of the air in your home or business? Mould and bacteria can easily circulate through the air when excessive humidity, dust and/or a dirty duct system are present. Air duct cleaning services can dramatically improve air quality, resulting in improvements to your family’s overall health.
What’s In Your Air?
Mould and mildew are nasty forms of fungi. Mould is formed from too much humidity, which can result from a lack of ventilation, poor rainwater drainage, or excessive dampness in the home. Mould can be found in basements, bathrooms, kitchens, and other areas. It can also get into your vents. Mould inhalation can create a host of health issues such as allergies, breathing problems, and migraines.
Excessive dust in the air vents can also cause allergies. When the air conditioner or heat is turned on, this “dirty air” starts to circulate throughout the home.
Health Effects
Poor air quality is not to be dismissed. The air that you breathe enters your lungs and moves to your bloodstream. If the air in your home has bacteria and mould, it can cause respiratory issues such as asthma and bronchitis. More serious concerns include but are not limited to cancers, fatigue and migraines. Your skin may become dull as well. Aside from health problems, poor air can ruin furniture and household items over time — particularly upholstery.
Why Air Duct Cleaning Is a Good Idea
There are many benefits to air duct cleaning. It is especially important to clean your ducts when:
- You have pets
- Cigarettes are smoked inside the home
- An occupant has extreme allergies
- There are excessive paint or chemical fumes from home remodeling
Clean ducts will provide better air quality and energy savings. Contaminants within the duct system cause it to work harder to maintain the desired temperature throughout the home. Cleaning them means will allow your home to heat or cool more quickly.
