3 Reasons Hire Professional Duct Cleaning Service
The cleanliness of air ducts in your home or working space affects the quality of life. Proper ventilation also means clean ventilation, and we are prompted by the government to take care of the installation and ducts to ensure that your home’s ductwork is clear and reaches its full expected lifespan. The degree and speed of contamination in your HVAC system depends on the type of building, air exchange method and the quality of the filters used. Air ducts without harmful factors translate into the efficiency of the entire AC/heating/ventilation system and air quality in the house or office building. In order to achieve such a state, it is necessary to regularly hire duct cleaning service to enhance the performance of your HVAC system and create a safer and healthier environment.
Regular AC and heater vent cleaning is one of the most important maintenance tasks for each building. A contaminated, inefficient or blocked ventilation system is a huge threat not only to the well-being but also to the health and safety of people who occupy the indoors. Regardless of whether we’re talking about the ductwork at home, in an office or in a large production hall, pollutants that are harmful and dangerous accumulate everywhere.
Water Damage
Moisture promotes the growth of microorganisms, bacteria and viruses. Air duct cleaning is necessary if water has entered the HVAC system in any way. During normal operation of the unit, water may drip onto the heat exchanger, which is removed, for example, into the sewage system. This makes it all the more reasonable to periodically check and clean the surfaces that have come into contact with it.
The main cause of the appearance of mold spots on the walls of the house is inadequate air circulation and high humidity. Walls covered with wallpapers and paints help to develop fungi and mold. It must be remembered that fungus on walls can cause serious health problems, so it is worth taking care of proper wall cleaning with advanced anti-mold products or even by hiring a company to do it.
When getting rid of fungal growth from the walls, remember that simply removing whatever is visible will not eliminate the problem. The most important thing is to find and remove the cause. Our specialists at PT Duct Cleaning emphasize that the most common cause of mold and fungi problems is improper ventilation, but water may also enter the room from the outside, e.g. as a result of a broken gutter, leaky roof or other structural defects in the building. So proper inspection is key when taking care of your air ducts
Debris Build-Up & Microbes
Heating and air conditioning ducts can accumulate large amounts of dirt and are ideal for the growth of harmful microorganisms and pile up dust and debris, leading to serious diseases of the respiratory system.
However, contaminants such as dust, dirt, bacteria or fungi accumulate in the ventilation system in proportion to the lifetime of the air duct system. Therefore, it is necessary to systematically hire professional Chicago air duct cleaners who will clean the air ducts and vents, and eliminate visible debris, dust and fungi. It has been proven that long-term inhalation of polluted air can cause headaches and chronic fatigue. In addition, allergic symptoms may worsen. In turn, microbial contamination can cause serious respiratory diseases: rhinitis, hypergenic pneumonia or legionellosis. In rooms such as offices or classrooms, poor air quality or its insufficient amount also reduces concentration and focus.
Using the latest technology and experience of our employees, we effectively remove dirt and dust from ventilation systems, and we disinfect them with EPA-approved chemicals that kill all germs and mold spores and prevent bacteria from forming.
Foul Odors
The problem of bad smells coming from the air ducts in apartments usually appears in the fall and winter. This phenomenon more often affects older buildings, but it also affects new buildings as well.
Living in a condo or apartment building, although it undoubtedly has its benefits, is also associated with some disadvantages. One of them are unpleasant odors that appear in the apartments, which are spread through the air duct system. Most often it is the smell of cigarette smoke, the smell of meals prepared by neighbors or the smell of rot. Single-family houses however also deal with this problem. There are many reasons for unpleasant smells coming from the ductwork, so it is difficult to clearly indicate one of them.
To find the cause of the bad smell coming from the ventilation duct, unfortunately, you have to look inside – and as deep as possible. It is worth using not only a flashlight, but also a broom for example, or even a selfie stick with a phone attached to it with a camera activated. It may turn out that the duct is not clogged (which inevitably blocks fresh air flow), but for example, there is a nest or an animal got stuck inside and died causing its decomposing body to give off a horrid smell.
Call PT Duct Cleaning today and have one of our expert technicians come out and inspect your air duct system to see if there is anything clogging your ducts and giving off a bad smell.
