duct-cleaningHow clean is the air in your home? Maybe you have a full schedule that you use to keep up on your dusting regimen. Or maybe you just dust when you know that you need it. Either way, we don’t judge. However, we don’t want you to ignore a problem in your home. If you feel like you have to dust every day and still can’t keep up with the debris floating around your home, then it might be time to talk to a pro about your indoor air quality.

The core culprit may lie within your ductwork. Namely, your ductwork may be dirty enough that it is acting as the source of the debris! If this is the case, it is worthwhile to talk to our team about a solution. If your ductwork is chock full of built-up debris, it may be time to schedule  air duct cleaning in Portland, OR.

Let us tell you more about air duct cleaning and other ways that we can help to improve your indoor air quality.

Solution 1. Air Duct Cleaning

First things first, what are your ducts looking like these days? Chances are high that you haven’t looked in your ductwork system before now. Most people don’t. But this doesn’t mean that you don’t need to pay attention to how dirty they are.

Dirty ductwork can easily be the main source of your indoor air quality issues. This is because, over time, a large amount of debris can collect in your ductwork and continue to create trouble for your home, not just getting things dirty but also reducing airflow. If you remove all that built-up debris with expert air duct cleaning, though, you can enjoy airflow that is clean, clear, and unhindered again.

Solution 2. Air Filters and Purifiers

There are whole-home systems that can help to combat airborne debris throughout the year too. Air filtration systems and air purification systems are both wonderful investments to consider if you are looking to improve your indoor air quality.

Air filters use semi-permeable membranes to capture dust and other contaminants. Air purifiers use electricity or UV light to take things a step further, removing or breaking down airborne particles.

Solution 3. Air Cleaners

You may also want to consider the investment of installing an air cleaner in your home. This system is actually great because it serves as a combination of an air filter and purifier system. This gives you a powerful, all-in-one defense system against a wide range of unwanted airborne particulates.

If you are trying to clean up the airflow in your home, or even figure out if it’s necessary, then our team is here to help. We know the signs and symptoms of a house with poor indoor air quality and we know how to determine which services or systems will be the most helpful.
