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.
