Air Duct Cleaning Improves Air Quality for Your Office

9/20/2022 (Permalink)

Mold, dust, pollen and other allergens can build up in your HVAC system over time – just like they do on other surfaces in your office.

How Air Duct Cleaning Improves Air Quality

Except for the air you let into your office through windows or doors, most of the air in your office is distributed via HVAC ductwork. Without a clean path for this air to take, it picks up irritants and contaminants, circulating them through your home. No matter how much you vacuum or dust, they’ll return, piling-up on flat surfaces, and piling onto your list of cleaning duties, all-the-while collecting within your HVAC system, mucking-up your air filter, ductwork and coils. As time progresses, the contaminant buildup worsens, robbing your system of efficiency, and increasing maintenance needs.
(This is why after duct cleaning is performed, it is strongly recommended you let SERVPRO of Streamwood, Bartlett, West Chicago and Warrenville clean dust buildup in your office.)

Importance of Clean Air Ducts

Clean ducts offer a number of benefits…

• Reducing the Incidence of Allergies & Respiratory Ailments
  Mold, mildew, dust, dust mites, dirt, pollen, dander and other particles settle in ductwork over time, spreading through the air during HVAC operation. Ductwork cleaning can remove this buildup, reducing the levels of these irritating triggers in the office.
• Fighting Mold & Microbial Growth
  The buildup of dust on ductwork surfaces offers a prime environment for the proliferation of mold, mildew, dust mites, bacteria and more. Regular duct cleaning reduces contaminant growth.
• Decreasing Offensive Odors
  Duct cleaning can eliminate or reduce offensive odors due to mold, mildew, and microbial growth, as well as those resulting from pest infestation in ductwork.
• Boosting HVAC Efficiency
  In cases of extreme dust buildup, cleaning ductwork has been shown to increase HVAC efficiency as much as 40%.
• Prolonging HVAC System Life
  The less resistance in air ducts from dust and debris, the smoother the operation and greater the efficiency and longevity of your system.
