Spring is here and it’s the ideal time to clean up your business. Most people spend at least 8 hours a day at the office, so it’s important that the air quality in your office is at the best levels. Air duct cleaning is just one way to keep your employees healthy this Spring!
What Are Some Symptoms of Poor Air Quality?
Oftentimes neglected, air quality is fundamental to the safety and well-being of your employees. Think about how good it feels to go for a walk out in nature and breathe in clean, fresh air. Being in a space where the air is heavy is an experience most people recall negatively. Not only that, poor air quality can cause symptoms like:
- irritation of the eyes, nose and throat
- dizziness
- fatigue and headaches
In severe cases, poor air quality can cause heart or lung disease.
When Should You Get Your Air Ducts Cleaned?
Your air ducts should be cleaned in the following cases:
- If your employees have symptoms. If it’s not allergy season, and you don’t have a mold problem, a good next step is to get your air ducts cleaned. Since all of the air in your building is redirected through your air ducts, they could be pushing harmful substances into the air around your building.
- If it’s been awhile since you’ve had your air ducts cleaned. Dust and mold can build up over time, compounding the problem. A bonus: clean air ducts run more efficiently, saving you money.
- If your business smells musty. A new odor can be a sign of dirty air ducts, whether it’s mold, dust, or bacteria.
When Should I Call a Professional?
A professional can help you by starting with an air quality test to make sure you know for sure that dirty air ducts are your issue. If your air ducts do need to be cleaned, it is not easy to do so on your own. It involves specialized tools and thorough preparation to be up to the code put forth by the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA). You should call a professional to make sure your air ducts are cleaned safely and correctly the first time.
