Spring Allergy

As spring allergy season approaches, you may hear companies make bold promises to improve your health by reducing allergens in your home. Allergies, according to the CDC, are the 6th leading cause of chronic illness in the U.S.

If you suffer from indoor allergies, your ductwork may be partially to blame. Over time, air ducts can accumulate a substantial amount of dust and debris, and unless you clean it out, your health can suffer. Whether you’re dealing with sudden, unexplained allergy symptoms or your allergies have been plaguing you for years, professional duct cleaning can help provide you a reprieve.

Contaminants circulating through your ducts

When considering allergies and duct cleaning, remember that all your indoor air circulates through your HVAC system and ductwork. Here’s a list of some of the undesirables that can be released into the air.

DUST MITES

It’s impossible to keep our homes dust-free when HVAC ducts are spewing out dust particles. Those particles quickly settle on surfaces. Dust is a big problem for allergy sufferers.

POLLEN

It’s tracked in on your clothes and shoes. It enters your home through open windows and doors. It’s another allergy sufferer’s enemy and it’s dispersed throughout your space by your HVAC system.

PET DANDER

We love our pets, but not everyone might share in our affection. The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America estimates 3 in 10 people have allergic reactions to cats and dogs in the U.S. Your ductwork might be spreading dander throughout your space.

SMOG

If you think once you shut your door, you’re safe from outdoor pollutants, you’re wrong. Pollutants creep into your home. In fact, the EPA says indoor air is at least 2 to 5 times more polluted than outside!

VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS

Most of us don’t think much about VOCs. But they’re all around us. VOCs are harmful gases that are given off by common household items. Cleaning fluids and even printers produce VOCs. Your HVAC system is circulating these VOCs through your ducts.

MOLD AND MILDEW

Moisture in your ducts can lead to mold and mildew. When looking into allergies and duct cleaning, if your ducts are moldy, duct cleaning is needed. Mold is responsible for many allergy symptoms.

BACTERIA

If bacteria get into your HVAC system, they can circulate throughout your indoor space via air ducts and make people sick. In the worst case, you could end up with Sick Building Syndrome.
