Your home’s air ducts require regular maintenance to ensure your home’s air quality and the functionality of your HVAC unit. Dirty or ill-maintained air ducts release harmful pollutants into your home. In this case, what you don’t know can hurt you – although you can’t see inside your air ducts, you still breathe the air and contaminants that come out of them.
The air in your home can potentially be more polluted and hazardous than outdoor air, particularly if your ductwork is ill maintained. Millions of microscopic contaminants enter your heating and cooling system every time it switches on, and if these contaminants aren’t cleaned out during regular maintenance, they build up in your ductwork and are circulated into the air you breathe, exacerbating allergies and asthma and spreading disease-causing pathogens. These contaminants also pass into your HVAC unit, reducing its efficiency and potentially damaging your system.
