Scientists have determined that the air we breathe inside our homes and workplaces has five times more pollutants than most outside air. These contaminants are a very real threat to health, and include pollen, dust and dust mites; mold spores and fungi; second hand tobacco smoke, pet hair and pet dander. A disturbing rise in asthma in children is being associated with poor indoor air quality. The health effects are also very serious in the elderly, people who already have respiratory problems and people whose immune systems are weakened by illness.
Many people ask why the air inside the average home or other building has become contaminated. The explanation is that modern structures are tightly-insulated and have been designed and built to be air tight. The fact is that a drafty window used to let in some helpful fresh air. Nowadays the air moving in a modern home is constantly re-circulated, exposing us to hazardous organisms that are a chronic health threat. 90% of the recirculated air contaminants that we breathe every day are in the home.

- Professional air duct cleaning eliminates exposure to irritants in your ductwork. Our technicians will inform you about the extent of the problem. We adhere to industry standards for cleaning ductwork, using tools designed to loosen the ever-present buildup, allowing our high-velocity suction equipment to remove it. A standard home vacuum won’t get it done. It will simply blow the contaminants around.
- An air filtration system will cure a multitude of
indoor air quality issues. It will trap fibers from upholstery and drapery as well as the 700,000 skin cells the average human sheds in a day. Dust mites produce microscopic feces that effective filtering pulls out of the air. Many people find their home is cleaner with properly filtered air. The viruses and bacteria children bring home from school and that people carry home from work are an airborne weapon in both heating and cooling season if your system does not have ventilating capacity.
- Proper humidity is essential to ensuring indoor air quality. Improper humidity levels are a health issue all by themselves. Dry air in particular irritates the respiratory passages, making them more susceptible to household pollutants. Excessive humidity encourages the growth of mold in ductwork, adding a very significant hazard to the air. It encourages fungi to grow, makes your ducts a petri dish for bacteria, and can even attract rodents, whose droppings then blow through the air you breathe every day. A mold colony is especially hazardous for infants.
There is another problem impacting indoor air quality and good filtration will address it. The air we breathe includes toxic fumes. Chemicals seep out of building materials such as paint and drywall and into the air. Most furniture, drapes and carpet have been chemically treated and give release those fumes. Add to the fumes the chemicals in common household cleaning products. The microscopic particles are blown around and breathed.
