The Professional Choice in Air Duct Cleaning Your duct system functions as the respiratory system of your home or place of work. Dust, dirt, pollen, animal dander and other airborne contaminants are pulled into your system every time the furnace or air conditioner runs. If not properly installed, maintained and operated, these components may become contaminated with particles of dust, pollen or other debris. If moister is present, potential for micro bacterial growth (e.g. mold) is increased and also spores from such growth may be released into living space. Some of these contaminants may cause allergic reactions or other respiratory problems by people if they are exposed to them. Over time, these contaminates build up inside your ductwork, making your system a breeding ground for mold spores, bacteria, fungus, mildew, and other microbes, impacting the air quality and comfort of your family. Many people do have allergic reactions to pollen, bacteria, dust mites and mold. These particles, along with other invisible pollutants, settle in the air ducts and are re-circulated every time the furnace blower is operating. Cleaning and sanitizing your ductwork not only eliminates most contaminants but also may improve the efficiency of your air conditioner and furnace by improving air flow. Medical studies have confirmed that some diseases, including Legionnaire's Disease, originate in and are spread by contaminated ventilation systems. Doctors, particularly allergists, now commonly “prescribe” HVAC and air duct cleaning as a remedy for health problems related to indoor air quality. Those who suffer from allergies, asthma or other respiratory ailments, especially children and the elderly, are vulnerable to the effects of indoor air pollution.
