Every day, more leaves fall from the old maple trees on your Sussex property. Your children enjoy your weekend efforts to rake up the leaves so they can jump into the pile and toss the leaves until your yard is back to square one.
It’s a fun way to pass relaxed Saturdays, but your allergies are paying the price. Sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes; you’ve got it all. No matter how much you try to wash away the fallen leaves, your allergies are making this an uncomfortable fall. Is this just a season of bad allergy luck, or could your home’s air quality be to blame?
How Your Ducts Impact Your Air Quality
Your home’s air quality depends on several factors. One of the more overlooked but often guilty culprits is your ducts. Your ductwork is essential for moving heated (or cooled) air from your furnace (or AC) to the rest of your home.
However, that also means all of the allergens, dander, dead skin, and dust that accumulate in your home move through the ducts, too. All of those particulates collect in your ducts and the air you breathe. Falling leaves can be a mold hazard by releasing spores that follow you inside and won’t leaf you or your family alone.
Air filters are important components in maintaining your home’s air quality, but if your ducts are full of dander and allergens, your health, your family’s, and your home may be at risk. Merle is a stickler for clean air and always says you need regular duct cleanings because you and your family deserve to breathe clean, healthy air.
Duct Cleaning Benefits Your Health
Duct cleaning eliminates the allergens, dander, and dust that can cause itchy eyes, congestion, and sniffles. If your ductwork gets too moist, the built-up particulates in your ventilation system can even grow mold, which you certainly don’t want to be breathing!
Or, if you find you’re in a constant dry, dusty dilemma, you and your ducts may benefit from a whole-home humidifier! With adequate humidity levels in your home, you’ll be able to move dusting from your weekly chore list to your monthly one. And that’s a fact.
