How can I prevent contamination in my air ducts and HVAC systems?
- Make sure that you have efficient air filters to lower how much contamination is present in your home. This can keep your ductwork professionally functioning, as air filters can block even incredibly small particulate matter.
- Make sure that air ducts are not leaking or wet. Contact our professional ductwork assistance team for assistance in determining if your air ducts are not leaking. Wet or damp air ducts are a very quick breeding area for bacteria and mold.
- It’s essential to conduct regular inspection and professional maintenance for your heating and cooling system, and air ducts. Never wait until your air conditioner or heater breaks before calling a repair team. You can prevent the need for doing this by conducting professional periodic maintenance for air ducts and HVAC systems.
