Duct Work

Cleaning the air ducts in your home or office is one of the best ways to maintain indoor air quality.  A good regime is to have them professionally cleaned every 3 to 5 years depending on the capacity and use of the building.  Homes with multiple kids and pets, or buildings with high traffic flow are best cleaned more often.  Homes or buildings with less traffic can go a little longer. 

But what if mold is suspected in the ducts?  Mold in the air ducts is almost always a sign of another more significant issue: a fault in the system, poor ventilation or high humidity in the home.   

By performing regular cleaning one can ensure that a buildup of dust and mold spores will be minimized.  It is also recommend you get your HVAC system checked annually for proper operation.  Not only will it help minimize air quality concerns it will help keep your HVAC running efficiently.
