HOW OFTEN SHOULD I CLEAN MY AIR DUCTS?

Have you ever wondered when you should clean your air ducts? Air ducts are important for the health of your family. They are the pathway for air to flow through your home. If you don’t get them cleaned, then you could be breathing in dust, debris, and potentially mold spores that have collected over time. With the changing weather, our homes need to be well-ventilated to avoid any respiratory problems. Air duct cleaning can also improve your home’s energy efficiency, reduce allergens in the air that you breathe, and improve the overall health of your house.  In addition to improving the quality of indoor air, it also has the potential to help reduce carbon monoxide (CO) emissions from appliances and furnaces—which is especially important if you’re living in a multi-family unit. Carbon monoxide is an odorless gas that can cause dizziness, headaches, confusion, and even death if inhaled in a large enough dose. These benefits aren’t just theoretical—they’re backed by science.

Around 6-9% of office work performance is greatly affected by poor indoor air quality. Got dust on your desk?  The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

These small particles can go deep into your lungs, and there is a possibility that they may get into your bloodstream. PM exposure to children or adults who have heart problems such as heart failure, coronary artery disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and lung diseases like bronchitis, pneumonia, and emphysema is very dangerous.
