With spring coming up quickly, many think of "Spring Cleaning" and getting out of hibernation. How well do you clean your house? Do you clean out every kitchen cabinet and vacuum your ceiling fan blades? If your going to those lengths to get your house clean are you spending any thought on your indoor air quality? The quality and cleanliness of the air in your house is directly related to your health. Its the air you and your family are breathing in and out every day. Your house and your HVAC system determines how clean your air is. You may change your filter regularly but that's not enough. When was the last time you removed your register and actually looked at the condition of your ducts? Or when was the last time you cleaned out your register. If your registers are in your floor, dirt and trash and other debris can easily fall into your duct-work and sit there for years, as air passes over it. If your home is over 10 years old there is a high chance that there is dust and dirt accumulation within the duct-work.
If your ducts were not properly sealed when installed then the
air that comes from your heater or air conditioner can leak out of the ducts, also air from the uninsulated spaces in your home can bring pollutants into your home.
