What’s In Your Duct System?
Most people don’t pay attention to one of the most important parts of a healthy home. The part of the home that distributes the air throughout your home and keeps it comfortable can also have a lot of dirt, dust, and other unpleasant airborne contaminants stuck inside it, which keep circulating through the home over and over again.
Ductwork is like your home’s lungs,
keep them clean and keep your lungs clean.
Have you seen what the inside of your ductwork looks like recently? If you haven’t, take a look at your 1″ disposable air filter the next time you change it (hopefully monthly). See all that gray “dust” that the filter has collected? Now imagine all of that dust and dirt that is on your air filter from just that 1 month stuck in your ductwork, multiplied by the age of your home… That’s a lot of dirt that could be recirculating through your home’s air.
Check out this picture of a customer’s dirty ductwork… That customer was breathing air that was passing over that dirt, carrying the dust with it!
More than dust and dirt!
The airborne pollutants that are potentially in your dirty ductwork can be more than meets the eye. It could look like dust and dirt, but what’s really inside that “dust” and “dirt”? That gray dust can range from simple airborne dust to construction debris, soot (if you have an oil furnace), mold, house insulation, dander, dust mites, airborne germs, smoke, and pollen (seasonal).
If it’s in your air filter, and it’s getting stuck in your ductwork, then chances are you are breathing those airborne particles in as well. Just like your lungs, your ductwork is the system that distributes air through the entire home, shouldn’t it be providing the healthiest air possible?
Not only is all of this a potential health risk or discomfort to you or your household, but all that dust and dirt buildup can cause wear and tear on your heating or air conditioning system and possibly a premature failure of your heat pump or air conditioner.
