Health Benefits
What you can't see can hurt you! Duct cleaning could be the healthiest investment you'll ever make! Concerns about poor indoor air quality continue to grow as increased risks of diseases due to indoor air pollution are identified.
Risks of a variety of health problems increase when duct systems are dirty. Contaminants may include fibers and chemicals from carpeting, formaldehyde and other chemicals from furniture, vapors from cleaning and copiers, hair, dander, dust, dirt, germs from the occupants themselves, bacteria, mold and mildew. According to the American Lung Association, poor indoor air quality contributes to infections, lung cancer, chronic lung diseases such as asthma, as well as headaches, dry eyes, nasal congestion, nausea, and fatigue. The employer who provides a safe environment with the good indoor air quality reaps tremendous benefits such as decreased absenteeism, increased productivity, increased profits, improved employee health, and reduced health costs.
