Good air quality is something that people seek both in their residential and commercial settings. Studies have shown, however that concentrations of air pollutants can reach levels that are up to 7 times higher in interior spaces than outdoor ones. Given that people spend upwards of 90 percent of their time inside, especially those who work in offices, the risk is much greater for developing breathing issues related to allergies, asthma and other conditions.

Because of this health risk, it has become more and more important for owners and managers of commercial property spaces to invest in regular commercial duct cleaning to ensure the health of their employees and clients. The benefits of these cleanings not only include a healthier workplace, but clean air ducts can help reduce monthly energy bills, as well.

Commercial Duct Cleaning Protects More than Your Bottom Line

Your air ducts feature an array of contaminants and allergens from pollen, dust, animal dander and drywall dust to mouse droppings, bacteria, fungus and insulation debris. As air travels from your HVAC system through the ducts, it transports these contaminants into the commercial space forcing your employees and customers to breathe them in consistently.

From an energy savings perspective, these types of contaminants and debris reduce the air flow and quality of your system. Your HVAC system is forced to work harder and expend more energy, which raises your monthly energy bills. You’ll spend more as well on maintenance calls, as upwards of 90 percent of all service calls are related to debris clogging pipes.

In more serious cases, you can place your business and work space in peril because bad air quality can violate the standards enforced by government agencies. You may become liable for punitive monetary fines, and your space may even be shut down for an extended period of time until your space is considered safe. This can cost your business in more ways than one.

The long and short of it is that you should take the maintenance and cleaning of your commercial air ducts very seriously. Find a contractor you can trust to perform regular commercial duct cleaning that will ensure your ducts are cleaned according to a high standard for safety. In the end, the rather small amount of money you invest in duct cleaning will pay off quickly, with reduced energy costs and greater employee productivity and overall satisfaction.
