TOP 5 REASONS TO HAVE YOUR DUCT SYSTEM CLEANED
-
Air duct cleaning with fogging treatment removes/deters dirt, dust, bugs, insects, spiders, as well as airborne contaminants such as bacteria, fungus, mold spores, pet dander and pollen. This helps to alleviate allergy and asthma symptoms as well as immediately improve the indoor air quality of your home and the efficiency of your HVAC system.
2. According to ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers) most fiberglass filters are only 7% efficient in stopping dirt, dust, pollen, etc. from passing through them. This means at least 50% of contaminants reach the interior of the air duct system.
3. 50% of all illnesses are either caused or aggravated by polluted indoor air (American College of
Allergists). One out of six people who suffer from allergies do so because of the poor indoor air quality due to fungi and bacteria in the air duct systems (Total Health Magazine & Better Health Magazine)
4. Children and pets are more likely than adults to be affected by polluted indoor air. They breathe faster,
inhale more air per unit of body weight, and are closer to the ground where concentrations are higher. The elderly, asthmatics, and people with breathing problems, allergies and lung diseases are also more likely to be more sensitive to pollutants (Department of Consumer Affairs).
5. Most people spend 60-90% of their time indoors (American Lung Association). Indoor air is found to be up to 70 times more polluted than outdoor air (Environmental Protection Agency).
Air ducts are also the perfect place for creepy crawly creatures to
hide and reproduce!

“Brown recluse spiders also reside above suspended ceilings, behind baseboards and woodwork,
and within heat ducts and registers.”
