Air Ducts, Should They Be Cleaned?
Cleaning Air Ducts – A Breath Of Fresh Air?
With growing concerns over indoor air quality, there have been many questions regarding forced-air heating and cooling systems and whether or not cleaning of the air ducts has any health benefits. The answer depends who you are asking and instead of picking sides, my intention here is to provide the reader with a few resources to turn to for some detailed information. When it comes to your health and the health of your family it is always advised to do your own research so you have the peace of mind of making the right decision. I am providing you with links to the “American Lung Association” and the “EPA“. The article the EPA provides on indoor air quality is very detailed and worth reading as it addresses reasons for definitely wanting your air ducts cleaned and what precautions you should take when hiring a company to do the work as well as providing a link to the “National Air Duct Cleaners Assosiation“. There has been quite a scare lately over dust and mold issues in the home and some companies prey on consumer’s fears with false information and promises. The best way for homeowners to protect themselves from being taken advantage of is by educating themselves, and that will help them breath easier. Here are the links again:
