Air Duct Cleaning Could Be The Healthiest Home Improvement You Will Ever Make
Your air duct system functions as the respiratory system of your home. When
it becomes contaminated and congested, it should be cleaned so it can "breathe"
normally and efficiently. If you answer YES to any of the following questions, it may be time to have your
air ducts cleaned.
-Does anyone in the house have allergies, asthma, or other respiratory problems?
-Does anyone in your family suffer from headaches, nasal congestion, or itchy
eyes?
-Is there a smoker in the house?
-Do you have dogs, cats or other pets?
-Do you notice "musty" or "stale" odors when the furnace runs?
-Do you notice dust on your furniture shortly after cleaning?
-Does your furnace utilize a standard throw away filter?
Important Facts About Indoor Air Quality And Your Family's Health!
The quality of the air we breathe indoors has become an increasingly important
environmental concern. Following are FACTS that have been determined by
recognized authorities in the fields of health and air quality:
-Most people spend 60-90% of their time indoors. (American Lung Association)
-50% of all illnesses are either caused by, or aggravated by, polluted indoor
air. (American College of Allergists)
-The levels of some hazardous pollutants in indoor air has been found to be up
to 70 times greater than in outdoor air.
-Studies have shown that two out of three indoor air quality problems involve
the Heating Ventilation System.
-One out of six people who suffer from allergies do so because of the direct
relationship to fungi and bacteria in air duct systems. (Total Health and Better
Health Magazines)
-10-12 Million Americans suffer from Asthma (American College of Allergists)
-Children and the elderly are especially affected by polluted indoor air.

Dust, dirt, pollen, animal dander and other airborne contaminants are pulled
into your air duct system every time the furnace runs. These contaminants build
up inside the duct work over time and can help make your duct system an ideal
breeding ground for mold spores, bacteria, fungus, mildew and other microbes.
Each time the furnace is turned on, contaminants are spewed out and circulated
throughout your home and affect the health and comfort of your family.
The removal of contaminants from the entire air duct system is recognized by
industry experts as the most effective way to eliminate air duct pollutants.
