An EPA study of human exposure to air pollutants indicates that indoor levels of pollutants may be two to five times — and occasionally more than 100 times — higher than outdoor levels. Since we tend to spend 90% of our time indoors, if you live in a home that is heated or cooled using ductwork and forced air, you should take a serious look at your indoor air quality. The microscopic dust and debris that collects in these systems is mostly human and pet dander (ugh!), construction and environmental debris. Under the right conditions with the right level of moisture, these organic lifeforms multiply and grow and end up in the air you breathe. Your best defense is a good offense. If you’re not the original owner of the house and have not gotten your ductwork cleaned, now is the time. If you own a dog or cat or have had a remodeling project done and have not had your ductwork cleaned recently, now is the time. It is critically important to keep this ductwork and your home’s air systems clean. Your family will thank you.
We are available for free advice on any project and while the majority of proposals we give are also free, your particular project may require us to charge an initial estimating fee, which would then be deducted from the project’s cost. Request an estimate to get the process started and we’ll get back to you with the details.
