AIR DUCT CLEANING
If you’re looking to make a positive impact on your facility’s indoor air quality, cut energy costs, or create a healthier work environment for your team, commercial duct cleaning is definitely worth considering. It’s shocking to think that indoor air can be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air, and the EPA has even classified it as one of the top environmental risks to public health. Taking steps to improve your air quality can have a big impact on the well-being of everyone in your building.
It’s important to prioritize the maintenance of your commercial building’s HVAC system and ductwork. Over time, contaminants like dust, bacteria, and mold can accumulate and create costly issues for property and facility managers, not to mention the negative impact on occupants’ health and productivity. By neglecting to regularly clean your air ducts and coils, you’re running the risk of reduced employee productivity, tenant dissatisfaction, and even losing customers. Taking proactive steps to improve the quality of your indoor air can have a positive impact on everyone in your building.
Why clean air is so important.
It’s understandable that indoor air quality is a top priority for building managers and occupants when evaluating their HVAC system. As people occupy a building, they inevitably generate a variety of contaminants and pollutants, such as dust, dander, and chemicals. These pollutants are drawn into the HVAC system and circulated multiple times per day, leading to a gradual build-up of contaminants in the ductwork. It’s important to take steps to address these issues proactively to maintain a healthy and productive indoor environment.
We highly recommend that any new or renovated HVAC system be thoroughly cleaned before the building is occupied and the system is allowed to run. This will help address any potential buildup of pollutants and contaminants in the ductwork, ensuring a healthy and safe indoor environment for everyone. Of course, regular commercial duct cleaning and HVAC maintenance are also important to maintain good indoor air quality over time.
