Today’s homes are more energy efficient than ever.
New building techniques and materials as well as advancements in insulation, windows and doors helps to minimize waste.
However, 97% of homes have indoor air quality concerns. There are potential sources of contamination in every room in the house. Cooking, cleaning, pest control, personal hygiene and even carpets, electronics, pets and pressboard furnishings generate harmful toxins. These pollutants are then trapped in the tightly sealed home and continually circulated by the heating and cooling system. The EPA ranks indoor air pollution in the top five health risks. Most people spend 90% of their time indoors. The furnace and air conditioner can actually contribute to concerns. The conditioned air in the home passes through the ductwork between nine and ten times per day. Dust, dander, bacteria, mold spores and all sorts of allergens can be concealed inside the system, become airborne and breathed in by family members. Plus, this accumulation can reduce heating and cooling equipment efficiency. Dirty coils and ducts increase energy consumption by up to 30%. A worthwhile and cost-saving service is regular duct testing and cleaning. Specialized equipment is used to dislodge and safely remove the buildup of debris. Maximizing air flow helps to optimize comfort in every room in the house. The living environment will stay cleaner and healthier. Getting rid of odor-absorbing particles will help to improve the smell of the air as well. The duct cleaning process typically can be completed in a couple of hours. It causes no mess or damage and normally pays for itself in savings through lower utility bills, fewer repairs and longer furnace and air conditioner service life.
