Duct Cleaning Information

4/19/2016 (Permalink)

Most people are not aware that indoor air pollution is an issue of growing concern and increased visibility. If you decide to have your dheating and cooling system cleaned it is important to make sure the service provider agrees to clean all components of the system and is qualified to do so.

- Duct cleaning refers to the cleaning of forced air systems, including the supply and return air ducts and registers, grills and diffusers, heat exchangers, heating and cooling coils, condensate drain pans, fan motor and fan housing, and the air handling unit housing.

Over time these components will start to fill with dust and debris. If moisture gets in the system the potential for microbial growth is increased drastically. Some of these contaminants can cause allergic reactions or many other symptoms.

Does duct cleaning prevent health problems? The correct answer so far is simply that no one knows. There are examples of ducts that have been so badly contaminated that it can affect your health or if the duct system is helping flow contaminants throughout your home. In these instances duct cleaning makes sense.
