Health Risks of Dirty Air Ducts

The air inside your home may be polluted. In fact, the EPA says that inside air can be up to 70% more polluted than the air outside. Today’s homes are tightly sealed environments. Heating and air conditioning systems can circulate contaminants throughout your home. If allergens, pet dander, pollen, molds, fungi, and even bacteria exist in your heating and air conditioning ducts and other components, no amount of regular house cleaning can remove them.

Professional duct cleaning by a reputable company can remove built-up contaminants from your ducts and other components of your home comfort system and minimize risks for you and your family.

Duct Cleaning Removes Contaminants

As your heating and air conditioning system operates, it’s constantly circulating the air in your entire home. Along with that air, dust, pet dander, mold, fungi, bacteria, and other contaminants also circulate. While effective filtration can help, there’s no escaping a build up of contaminants inside your ductwork. You can’t see it, but it’s there. An average home can accumulate up to 40 pounds of dust and other contaminants a year, and much of it ends up inside your air ducts.

You may notice that your family’s allergy symptoms act up more during the active heating and cooling season. Children are especially vulnerable to allergens. Cleaning heating and air conditioning ducts and other components removes contaminants and minimizes the circulation of allergens during the times you heat and cool your home.

Heating and air conditioning ducts can also collect bacteria, which may thrive in ductwork under some conditions. In some cases air ducts can harbor more bacteria than a chicken coop. If rodents enter the ductwork, as sometimes happens, the risks to your family increase. For our latest cleaning specials, visit: Air Duct Cleaning Services Minneapolis MN

Is Your Family’s Heath at Risk?

When was your heating and air conditioning system, including all ductwork, last cleaned? If you’re like many homeowners in Minneapolis St Paul, it could have been years since a professional duct cleaning was done. If you’ve purchased an existing home, the ductwork may never have been cleaned, since many homeowners neglect this important maintenance need.

Here in the Minneapolis St Paul Metro area, homeowners use their heating and cooling system more to maintain home comfort than in most other areas of the country. That means a longer period in which contaminants can build up in air ducts and other components.
