Positive Effects of Air Duct Cleaning

As air indoor pollution becomes more of a hazard, the state of our indoor air quality is becoming more of a health concern. According to the American Lung Association, "Indoor Air Pollution is wide spread. You are more likely to get sick from pollution in your home and office than from pollution in the air outside. Poor indoor air quality can lead to a number of health problems such as respiratory illnesses. As well, microorganisms such as mold and bacteria can be harmful to one's health. One way of improving indoor air quality is to have your air ducts cleaned.

Duct cleaning consists of cleaning various heating and cooling system components of forced air systems such as air ducts and registers, grills and diffusers, heat exchangers, heating and cooling coils, drip pans, fan motor, and the air handling unit.

When you have yur ducts cleaned, you will experience the following effects:
Improved Heating and Cooling Systems: Your heating and cooling systems will run better and less often thereby improving energy efficiency. You will save money, conserve energy, and have a longer lasting system.

Dry Ducts: Moisture in ducts is a breeding ground for bacteria and fungi which can cause respiratory illnesses when inhaled. When your ducts are cleaned, organisms will be removed and the ducts will be clean and dry preventing further growth.

Eliminate Rodent Waste: If there are mice or rats running through the ducts, they will leave their waste in the ducts. Air blowing the droppings through the system can contaminate indoor air. This can lead to health problems if inhaled. Cleaning your air ducts will get rid of any rodent waste.

Eliminate Accumulated Debris: By having your ducts cleaned, you will eliminate the debris such as plaster and drywall particles, wood, dust, and insulation particles that may have accumulated in the ducts over many years. Dust mites and ants feed on debris found in air duct so you will remove the mites along with the debris. You and your family will breathe easier and feel less ill.

Better Health: Air circulation will be improved because you will have eliminated contaminants that have built up in the ducts. Symptoms of indoor air pollution include: allergies, illnesses, eye irritation, sinus congestion, headache, sore throat, nausea, cold and flu symptoms, asthma and increased asthma symptoms, diseases, fatigue, cough, congestion, tightness in chest, wheezing and hypersensitivity, and eye, nose, and throat irritation. Removing dirt, dust, and contaminants will improve your overall health. The home will be cleaner and less dusty because there will no longer be any dust blowing into rooms. You will see a reduction in allergy symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, watery eyes, and wheezing when you breathe. You will also be able to sleep better, concentrate better, and feel more awake and alert.

Improved Odor: When ducts accumulate material over a period of time, one may often start to detect an unpleasant odor. Clean ducts will help keep air fresh.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency EPA, -6 out of 10 homes are 'sick.' This means that -they are too hazardous to your health to occupy as a result of airborne contaminants. Because people spend the majority of their life indoors (60-90%), the air you breathe should be of the highest quality. There are many positive effects that clean indoor air provides. Duct cleaning technicians have the knowledge and experience to thoroughly clean ducts for both homes and businesses. Enlisting the services of a certified professional duct cleaning once or twice a year will greatly improve the health of families, pets, employees, clients, and customers.

If you place a HEPA air cleaner in a hallway between three bedrooms the air cleaner will do a wonderful job of cleaning the hallway, but it will not be able to clean the air in the adjoining bedrooms.

Since most of us stay indoors more often than outdoors, it is indeed important to ensure safe indoor air. I've just learned about this a few months ago when our house had its routine cleaning and maintenance. Our HVAC system was cleaned, everything from air ducts to fans and dampers. Manufacturers these days fortunately makes equipment that are easy to clean.

Thanks to the damper manufacturer where we bought most of our equipment, we were able to go through with cleaning without the hassle.

If you see bodies of insects or rodent droppings in your air ducts, it is a good sign they should be cleaned. Not only will by-products from these materials likely circulate in the air in your home, but they could also be a sign that insects have nested or you have rodents living in your air ducts. http://waterdamagerestorationdallastexas.com/hail-damage-repair-arlington-tx/
