Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems have been shown to collect a variety of contaminants that have the potential to affect our health, such as mold, fungi, bacteria, and dust particles. The removal of such contaminants from the HVAC system and home should be considered as one component in an overall plan to improve indoor air quality.
Frequency of cleaning depends on several factors, not the least of which is the preference of the home owner. Some of the things that may lead a home owner to consider more frequent cleaning include:
- The presence of mold or musty odors
- Smokers in the household
- Water contamination or damage to the home or HVAC system
- Pets that shed high amounts of hair and dander
- Residents with allergies or asthma who might benefit from a reduction in the amount of indoor air pollutants in the home's HVAC system
- After home renovations or remodeling
- Prior to occupancy of a new home
Duct Cleaning is always included in the decontamination plan for all buildings having a ducted HVAC system, as it is necessary to insure all contributing factors to poor air quality are addressed. Through partnerships, as well as our own resources, Air Quality Sciences offers professional duct cleaning services to residential, commercial, and industrial customers.
