Polluted air poses a huge risk to your respiratory health. The risk is even higher if the exposure is in an enclosed environment like inside your house. The accumulation of dust, smoke, dirt and allergens in HVAC systems creates the perfect breeding ground for germs, which can cause lung diseases. This is the reason why up to two-thirds of all indoor air quality issues can be traced to HVAC systems.
Luckily, for homeowners, there are some telltale signs that air ducts are in need of cleaning. Watch for the following:
Overdue Duct Inspections
As Saskatoon duct cleaning professionals, we recommend you get your air ducts cleaned at least once every three to five years, if not earlier. Not getting your ducts cleaned for any period longer than five years is a recipe for disaster. It encourages the growth of bacteria and microbes that carry infections. If your ducts have gone longer than five years without an inspection, get one as soon as possible.
Settling of Dust in the House Immediately After Cleaning
Dust around the home is an obvious sign of dirty air ducts. This can be extremely frustrating for homeowners who tirelessly work to keep their houses clean. The air coming in from the dirty air vents carry along dust that gradually settles in every room of your house regardless of how often you clean. A Saskatoon duct cleaning expert will remove all the dirt that’s accumulated in even the most inaccessible parts of the vent, which will prevent that dust from returning and dirtying up your home.
Increased Allergy Symptoms
Allergens naturally prevalent in the air, lodge themselves in HVAC systems and gradually find their way into your home. When your loved ones are constantly exposed to these allergens, they are at a higher risk of suffering from allergies and respiratory infections. Hiring professionals to come and clean the ducts immediately is the only way to eliminate the allergens and get your family’s health back on track.
Increased Air Pollutants in the Neighbourhood
Living next to a construction site exposes you to hazardous dust. This dust will eventually enter your home and can create health risks, while clogging up the ducts. Construction can severely compromise the air quality of your home, so consult your local Saskatoon duct cleaning experts to advise you on the extent of hazardous exposure and what you can do about it.
