Are You Affected by Bad Indoor Air Quality?

We spend 90% of our time indoors. As time goes by, dirt, pet dander, mold, and other contaminants form in your air ducts. If you see dust in the air, are coughing or sneezing more than usual, or have higher than usual energy bills, your air ducts are to blame.

If you aren’t sure if your home’s air quality is healthy, ask yourself:

Is the humidity level in my home high?
Do I smell stale air, must, or other odors?
Do sickness symptoms return when I’m at home?
Has it been a while since my HVAC system was serviced?

The Types of Contaminants Found in a Home’s Air Ducts

Just like your kitchen or bathroom, things get dirty. The only difference is you can’t reach deep inside your air ducts to clean them. Your ductwork can house:

Mold and Mildew

Duct sweating can be caused by high humidity levels or duct blockages, creating the perfect damp environment for mold and mildew to grow untreated.

Dust and Allergens

Pollen, dust mites, and pet dander accumulate over time and trigger allergies and respiratory issues, like sore throats, itchy eyes, and runny noses.

Bacteria and Viruses

Microorganisms thrive in dirty and damp air ducts. Any time your AC or heat comes on, they circulate throughout your home and you breathe them in.

Pest Droppings and Debris

Rodents and insects are great at getting into small spaces, getting stuck, and leaving behind droppings that impact air quality and create unpleasant smells.

Volatile Organic Compounds

If you’ve just had renovations or store paint or cleaning supplies indoors, volatile organic compounds can become highly concentrated and harm your health.

Smoke and Lingering Odors

Smoke and other odors from cooking or tobacco can get trapped in your ductwork and keep recirculating, leaving your home with a stubborn, sour smell. WHAT DO I DO NEXT?
