Home and Health Problems Caused by Dirty Air Ducts

1. ALLERGIES AND RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS
Your air ducts are ideal breeding grounds for fungus, mold, spores, and bacteria. They couldn't ask for a darker, damper place to grow! Whenever your heat or air conditioner is on, these contaminants are blown into your home along with dirt and dust.

REMBER: Your lungs can't be cleaned but your ducts can!!

-Eye irritation
-Sinus congestion
-Headache
-Scratchy throat
-Fatigue

3. DIRTY AIR DUCTS ARE COSTING YOU MONEY $$$
A .042 of an inch of dust on a heating or cooling coil can cause a 21% reduction in the efficiency of your system. An additional .042 of an inch of buildup on the fan can result in an almost 50% loss of efficiency!

4. THE SOLUTION
Removing contaminants from air duct systems is one of the best ways to control dust, reduce indoor air pollution in your home or work and promote long equipment life. We use a combination of compressed air and a powerful vacuum to remove allergens. We also offer High-Efficiency air filters that are more effective tan the standard disposable filters your are probably using now.
