Why is Air Duct Cleaning Important?

Whether we know it or not, air ducts accumulate dirt, dust and microbial growth over time. This is exasperated by other everyday activities like cooking indoors, smoking, sweeping and vacuuming, presence of pets (especially cats and dogs), leaving the doors and windows open and even regular coming in and out of the house. Air duct cleaning is the process of removing or eradicating this dirt and other contaminants from the building’s ductwork. Why is this important?

Air ducts supply air and ventilation into the home or business. Dirty air ducts have been linked to poor indoor air quality including bad odors. Failure to regularly clean air ducts can also cause health problems. The contaminants inside the air duct are redistributed into the home’s air supply via the HVAC system. This can cause allergic symptoms in the building’s occupants. These symptoms include:

• Coughs
  
• Headaches
• Runny nose
• Watery eyes
• Sneezing
