A Risk Not Worth Taking

All of us face a variety of risks to our health as we go about our day-to-day lives. Driving in cars, engaging in recreational activities and being exposed to environmental pollutants all pose varying degrees of risk. Some risks are simply unavoidable. Some we choose to accept because to do otherwise would restrict our ability to lead our lives the way we want. And some are risks we might decide to avoid if we had the opportunity to make informed choices. We are here to inform you that having poor and polluted indoor air quality is a risk that you should do something about.

Why Have My Air Ducts Cleaned?

Your Home – An air duct cleaning removes a substantial amount of dust and debris from the home--in some cases as much as ten pounds may be removed! Dayton air duct cleaning will purify your home so that you can relax and breathe easier.

Your Health –It is estimated that half of all upper respiratory illnesses are caused by poor indoor air quality. Also, according to the Department of Consumer Affairs, children are more likely than adults to be affected by poor indoor air quality because they breathe faster, inhale more air per unit of body weight and are closer to the ground where pollutant concentrations are higher. Our air duct cleaning service in Dayton OH and in the surrounding areas, will help eliminate this risk.

Your Wallet – Dust and debris that are drawn into your system will soon overcome a standard household filter and begin to accumulate in the mechanical systems and ductwork. Once this occurs the system is less efficient and must run longer to do the same job as when it is clean. The cumulative savings here will pay for the cleaning over a few years. Investing in an air duct cleaning service allows you to pay less in the long run and breathe cleaner air!

Ensure You Are Protected

Air cleaning should be a top priority in any home. Many people think they are protected because their homes have air filters. However, most of these filters are inefficient, trapping less than 10 percent of the particulate in your heating and air conditioning systems. The disturbing fact is: the average six-room house collects 40 pounds of dust each year!

In the last several years, a growing body of scientific evidence has indicated that the air within homes and other buildings can be more seriously polluted than the outdoor air in even the largest and most industrialized cities. Other research indicates that people spend approximately 90 percent of their time indoors. Thus, for many people, the risks to health may be greater from indoor air quality than from the air pollution outdoors!

In addition, people who may be exposed to indoor air pollutants for the longest periods of time are often those most susceptible to their effects. Such groups include the young, the elderly, and the chronically ill--especially those suffering from respiratory or cardiovascular disease.

Why Be Concerned About Indoor Air Quality?

Since the energy crisis of 1974, the American public has made a conscious effort to save energy. The typical U.S. home is now tighter and more efficient than ever before, but these steps to prevent heat loss often have a negative effect. Energy efficiency measures such as adding insulation, weather-stripping and caulking do prevent heat loss, but they also simultaneous trap bad air indoors.

Since most Americans spend 90% of their time indoors, clean indoor air quality is essential. Our exposure to toxic materials indoors is 5-10 times greater than it is outdoors. While outdoor air has a dilution effect on pollutants, indoor air tends to trap and intensify pollutants.

Air ducts naturally accumulate sizable deposits of dust and other contaminants over a period of years and in some cases months. It is extremely important to have an air duct cleaning service because this debris not only reduces the efficiency of your heating service and air conditioning service, but also circulates polluted air that can lead to sickness. Contact our experienced Dayton air cleaners and we can purge the air in your living spaces from these harmful contaminants, or ask about our heating and cooling systems that include geothermal loop systems.
