How To Prevent Respiratory Issues & Improve Your Indoor Air Quality
Homeowners often blame the changing weather for the illnesses your family may be experiencing. However, when you look closely, you might find that your HVAC system might be the culprit. In this article, we will discuss the health issues and solutions related to your HVAC system.
Dirty HVAC Air Ducts
Many homeowners ignore or neglect the air ducts in their home. It is not surprising considering the ductwork is out of sight, hidden in walls and ceilings. However, as a responsible homeowner, you must make sure that your house is looked after properly. Therefore, your HVAC system (including the ductwork) also requires maintenance.
When you leave your HVAC system and ductwork unchecked, dust, pollen, contaminants, and other debris will accumulate in it. Therefore, every time your HVAC system turns on, these contaminants are blown inside your home.
You and your family breathe in the dust and pollen that is mixed in with the conditioned air. Breathing in these indoor air pollutants will significantly affect the health of you and your family, especially children and the elderly.
Ductwork full of debris also attracts pests. Rodents and insects like dark and dirty spaces. Therefore, your dirty ductwork is a perfect breeding ground for them. These pests can also go inside your home. They are annoying, a safety issue, and they are difficult to remove. Also, they cause damage to your home, worsening the problem. Since they also carry diseases, they can cause illness.
Dirty ductwork will also decrease your system’s functionality and efficiency, as dirt clogs the airflow. In turn, your heater or air conditioner works harder to make up for this. Your HVAC system strains, leading to higher energy bills and frequent repairs. All of these issues will shorten your unit’s lifespan, leading to a premature replacement.
