Most people are now aware that indoor air pollution is an issue of growing concern and increased visibility. Many companies are marketing products and services intended to improve the quality of your indoor air. Duct cleaning generally refers to the cleaning of various heating and cooling system components of forced air systems, including the supply and return air ducts and registers, grilles and diffusers, heat exchangers, heating and cooling coils, condensate drain pans (drip pans), fan motor and fan housing, and the air handling unit housing.

If not properly installed, maintained, and operated, these components may become contaminated with particles of dust, pollen, or other debris. If moisture is present, the potential for microbiological growth (e.g., mold) is increased, and spores from such growth may be released into the home’s living space. Some of these contaminants can cause allergic reactions or other symptoms in people if they are exposed to them.

DECIDING WHETHER OR NOT TO HAVE YOUR AIR DUCTS CLEANED

Ducts that have become badly contaminated with a variety of materials can pose risks to your health. The duct system can serve as a means to distribute these contaminants throughout a home. In these cases, duct cleaning makes sense. If family members are experiencing unusual or unexplained symptoms or illnesses that you think might be related to your home environment, you should discuss the situation with your doctor.

If you think duct cleaning might be a good idea for your home, but you are not sure, talk to a professional. The company that services your heating and cooling system may be a good source of advice. Contact Donny Sellers at 813.315.0301, your local professional Duct Cleaning Service Provider. ♥
