5 Ways Poor Air Quality Can Recirculate in Triangle Homes

0

stockimages7_FDPMost home and businesses in the Triangle can be characterized as “tightly sealed,” meaning that they are sealed from the outdoor elements to maximize energy efficiency for heating and cooling. This “green” focus has been a prominent feature of new construction since the late 1970s, and its intent is to save energy and money. Regardless of purpose, there is still a concern with indoor air quality (IAQ). This is because of the numerous pollutants in the indoor air; including particles, microbes, bacteria, and gases, which accumulate over a period of time from ordinary activities. Many of these pollutants ultimately find their way into the HVAC air ducts. They can accumulate, increase in quantity, and easily get recirculated into the indoor air many times over. And it can get worse with time.

AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex is certified by the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) to clean residential and commercial air ducts and eliminate or minimize the problems that come with dirty air ducts. Combined with great local customer service, AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex is the best way a Triangle home or business can keep the air ducts clean and increase air quality.

AdvantaClean of Cary/Apex offers the five common ways indoor air quality can deteriorates:

  • Dust, particles, chemical residues, and possible mold are always being generated: This is a simple fact if the home or business is occupied by people and pets, has furniture and carpeting, and normal cleaning activities happen on a regular basis. Although, regular dusting, cleaning, and vacuuming can minimize issues, it nevertheless increases in the air ducts over periods of time.
  • HVAC filters never remove indoor air pollutants completely: Similar to cleaning, filters don’t remove all dust, dander, small particles, and other pollutants, especially in parts of the system furthest from the filter. Of course, the higher rated filters remove more pollutants, but none are completely effective The type of HVAC system in place may also be a factor in how pollutants accumulate.
  • Poor or no source control to reduce pollutants: Many people are unaware of the activities, substances, and parts of the building that may be polluting indoor air. Smoking, cooking, and use of chemicals for cleaning and business activities are some common sources, but there may be other activities or areas of the building that generate an excessive amount of indoor pollution.
  • Lack of air duct cleaning can worsen the problem: Once the smooth surfaces on the inside of air ducts get dirty, the internal surfaces can trap even more pollutants, including chemical residue and gases. Air traveling through the HVAC system continually dislodges some of that material, which enters the indoor air again. Air duct cleaning often eliminates and minimizes the problem.
  • HVAC systems recirculate large volumes of air: Because of high amounts of air, anything can enter air ducts. If pollutants and dust it pass through filters, it may adhere to the walls of an air duct or get blown out the other end of the system. If the air ducts are already dirty, chances are higher that pollutants will accumulate in the system.
