The Importance of Healthy Ductwork
Clean ductwork keeps your indoor air quality healthy. Over time, your heating and cooling system circulates dust, dirt and other debris throughout your ductwork. This compromises the air in your home. When your ductwork is dirty or clogged you are more likely to experience allergy and asthma health issues.
The debris accumulates inside your ducts and without HVAC repair to clean your ductwork, you experience more respiratory infections, allergy symptoms and asthma attacks. Common pollutants inside your ducts include:
- Bacteria and virus particulates
- Rodent nest and fecal material
- Insects
- Dust
- Soot
- Dust mites
- Pollen
- Mold or mildew spores
- Pet dander and hair
Healthy ductwork increases your comfort and allows your HVAC system to achieve ideal temperatures throughout your home. Obstructions in your ducts prevent adequate air circulation. This often results in uneven temperatures in your home.
