How Air Duct Cleaning Affects Your Health

Just as air pollution damages the outdoor environment it can negatively impact the quality of air you breathe in your home, house and office.  This is especially true if your air filters aren’t changed regularly or if you have not had air duct cleaning completed in the last two years.
 
Professional air duct cleaning eliminates almost all of the debris, dirt, and dust that has accumulated in your ducts and vents and keeps these particles from circulating throughout your home when running your ventilation system. 
 
When air duct cleaning is not performed on a regular basis, the allergens, bacteria, dust and debris that are present in outdoor air are spread throughout your home and office every time the ventilation system turns on.  Over time, dirty indoor air can take a toll on a person’s health especially young children and the senior/elderly population. 
 
An improperly cared for ventilation system can also cause additional discomfort for those individuals who have asthma or seasonal allergies.  As years go by, all of these particles accumulate in your ducts and vents and can aggravate or contribute to respiratory problems. 
 
Remember that every time you take a breath, the particles in the air enter your nasal passages.  Indoor air comes from the outdoors but is re-circulated constantly and picks up even more debris.  Based on this, your indoor air and how often it is cleaned should be of utmost importance to you and your family.
