Today, ducted HVAC systems are still used in the majority of homes and workplaces. In a multi-room building, having a ducted system simply makes sense if you need to supply an even amount of cold or hot air to each individual room.
You may be highly conscientious about keeping your HVAC system clean, well-maintained, safe, and efficient. Perhaps you’ve set aside time for yearly or biannual inspections and maintenance. Perhaps you change the air filters on a regular basis to prevent wear and tear.
However, when the outside air is drawn into your house or workplace and temperature-adjusted for your comfort, it picks up minute quantities of dust, dirt, debris, pollen, and pollutants. Although your air filters remove as much as they can, some remain in the air ducts.
As stale indoor air is forced outside to make room for new incoming air, certain airborne debris, such as pet hair and dander, dust mites, and germs, becomes trapped inside your air ducts. These never make it back outside, instead of becoming lodged in your air ducts.
Small animals can also get into your house beneath eaves or via holes in attic crawlspaces and establish their winter home within your air ducts, leaving trash and droppings behind. This, like the dust and other contaminants, accumulates.
As more dust, dander, rat waste, and other unwanted pollutants accumulate in your air ducts, your HVAC system must work harder and harder to push and draw air through the ducts. Your filter strains out particles over and over again, and your interior air becomes heavier with irritants and allergens.
And this is happening EVEN IF you have a five-star HVAC maintenance and inspection strategy in place.
However, once you become aware of what has been going on inside your air duct system, everything begins to change.
In less than a day, you may move from polluted air to fresh, clean, breathing, healthier air.
