Now is the Time to Clean your Air Ducts

Aug. 5, 2009 - PRLog -- The end of August, after months of high summer air-conditioner use, is an important time to consider the sanitation of your home’s and business’ air ducts. Over time, the particles and chemicals that collect inside operating air-ducts can have severe effects on breathing quality, resulting in allergies, sinus infections, fire hazards, and higher operational costs.

A building's air duct network acts as its respiratory system. Dirty air ducts are an ideal breeding ground for mold spores, mildew, bacteria (including Legionella) and other health-threatening microbial growth. The combined health effects of these pollutants on bulling occupants can be significant, especially on those suffering from allergies, asthma or other respiratory ailments. Furthermore, a 1987 ASHRAE study concluded that maintaining system cleanliness would reduce average operating costs by 10-25%.

Dirty ducts can also result in higher utility bills, reduced air supply and premature failure of expensive HVAC components. As a result of one cleaning, you will actually save significantly on air-conditioning, heating, and ventilation costs, as well as on the cost of missed days of work and school due to allergies, runny noses, or cough.
