When it comes to indoor air quality there is no greater influence than your home’s air ducts. The air duct system is the pathway that your cooled and heated air will travel through before entering into the home. Each time your air conditioner or heating system runs a cycle, all of the air will be blown through the air ducts. If anything is inside the air ducts it will be blown into the home, contaminating your indoor air. As the air ducts play such a major role in your indoor air quality as well as the efficiency of your HVAC system, it is important that the air ducts are clean. Air Pure Air Duct Cleaning will share some of the common signs and symptoms of dirty air ducts so you know it is time to get your air ducts cleaned.
Visible Mold Growth in Air Ducts
Mold can develop inside the air ducts and when they do, they spread their spores throughout the entire home. Mold can often be seen. At times it will appear as black dust accumulating on the outside of the air vent. Mold can also be seen inside the air ducts and usually near the site of moisture. However, sometimes you may not be able to see the mold. Instead, you will be able to smell it! If your home has a musty damp like odor, you may be smelling the mold. Mold can be hazardous to the health of your household. If you see mold, have your air ducts cleaned right away.
Dust is Everywhere
One of the more common signs that you need your air ducts cleaned is dust. When you have a lot of dust in the air, building up around the air vents, or masking every surface inside your home, the dust is in the air ducts. If you have recently cleaned and hours later your home is covered in dust, you have dust blowing from the air ducts. Dust is a clear sign you need to have the air ducts cleaned.
Dirty Air Ducts Could Be Making You Sick
For those with allergies, asthma or respiratory problems, you will quickly notice poor indoor air quality. You will have allergies when inside your home, more frequent asthma attacks and your respiratory problems will get worse. These symptoms can often point to a contamination in your home’s air. This contamination is most likely originating from the home’s air duct system. When you are feeling sick inside your home, have the air ducts cleaned and see if your health will begin to improve.
Need to Get Rid of Bugs & Pests in Air Vents
If you had rodents inside your home recently, check your air ducts. Look inside your air duct to see if the rodents chewed a hole or left behind any urine or droppings inside the air ducts. Rodents can spread harmful diseases in their urine and droppings. If they have been discovered inside your home, sometimes they will use the air duct system to travel and nest. To ensure the safety of your home, inspect your air ducts thoroughly and have them cleaned if rodent droppings or urine has been left behind.
