Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) commonly refers to the quality of the air we breathe in our homes and offices. There are many, many factors that affect the quality of the air inside our homes and offices. Airborne smokes, pet hair and dander, cooking vapors, pollens/molds from outdoors, airborne fabric and carpet fibers, and molds and mildews from within are just a few of the many contaminants which impact our Indoor Air Quality. It is often stated that indoor air is 10-100 times more polluted than outside air. While there are many sources of pollutants of indoor air, the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system is usually the most common source of indoor air quality problems. Due to the dark, moist, controlled environment, your heating and air conditioning system is a perfect breeding ground for many unwanted biological contaminants. Types of contaminants in the HVAC system can include pet hair, common household dust, dander, mold, mildew, fungi, and bacteria. Sometimes buildings experience a syndrome called the “Sick Building Syndrome” (SBS). This is evident when occupants of a building experience upper respiratory ailments. Eye, nose and throat irritations, headaches, dizziness, nausea, and fatigue can be symptoms of “Sick Building Syndrome”. Usually these symptoms disappear a short while after the occupant leaves the facility. “SOURCE REMOVAL” AIR DUCT CLEANING can significantly improve your Indoor Air Quality. Contaminants can be removed, filtration systems can be upgraded, and your HVAC system maintains energy efficiency.
