Air Duct Cleaning : Keeping Your Home Healthy

Indoor air quality is one concern that homeowners have when considering air duct cleaning. According to the Canadian Lung Association, on average Canadians spend 90% of their time indoors. For this reason, indoor air quality is an important health concern.

The Heating and Cooling System of your home is like the central organ of your body – Your Lungs. The HVAC takes air in (return air) and breathes air out (supply air).

Through normal life in a home, we generate contaminates and air pollutants – dander, dust, and chemicals. But your home’s lungs may also be drawing in polluted air, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. Your HVAC system can harbor contaminants such as bacteria. These particles can be circulated around your home as much as five to seven times a day. Over time, this results in a build up of contaminates in the ductwork. This can cause health problems, especially if one of your family members suffer with respiratory health conditions like allergies or asthma. 

Not only can a duct cleaning help lessen allergy issues, it can make your HVAC System run more efficiently. A clean HVAC system is less likely to malfunction and may last longer
