Is Your Home’s Indoor Air Clean?

Find out what contaminants you and your family could be breathing in at home and the impact they can have on your health.

You may not be able to see them, but the average house is a perfect petri dish for a whole host of dangerous pollutants that many of us breathe in every day without knowing it.

These invisible indoor air contaminants can come from a variety of sources, such as pet hair, a pest infestation, a lack of – or excess – moisture in the home, and they have the potential to cause significant health or safety issues or further complicate existing ones.

Dust, debris, dander, mould - these are just a few of the invisible indoor threats that can build up in the house and become more of a hazard over time.

You and your family deserve clean air. That's why it's essential to educate yourself on the causes and effects of poor indoor air quality, as well as the actions you can take to clean your home's air and breathe easier.

What are the Health Consequences of Poor Indoor Air Quality?

There are several adverse effects that can result from the contaminants living inside your home, from breathing problems to skin conditions to risks of permanent damage or destruction to your house itself.

A little knowledge can go a long way in keeping your home's air clean for you and your family to breathe.

Asthma, Allergies & Other Breathing Issues

One of the biggest risk factors from contaminants such as dust, dust mites, pet dander and pollens is the potential to cause breathing problems or further complicate existing conditions such as asthma or allergies.

Consistent vacuuming & cleaning up of dust, pet hair and other such debris can help keep your indoor air fresh and clean.

Booking a regular home duct cleaning service can also make a significant difference in removing these contaminants from your house and helping you breathe easier.

Dry Skin, Sore Throat & Sinus Issues

Another set of adverse effects from poor indoor air quality are dry skin, sore throat, irritation of the sinuses and other similar illness-like symptoms.

All the joys of feeling under the weather without having a cold or the flu: this is usually a result of dry air causing a lack of humidity in the home, often during the colder winter months.

In addition to the day-to-day irritation these symptoms can cause, if they are due to poor indoor quality, there's a chance they can lead to further long-term health complications down the road.

And while dust, dander and other pollutants that cause breathing issues can be addressed through vacuuming or duct cleaning, dealing with dry air in the home usually requires a product like a humidifier or air purifier.

Are you or a family member are experiencing any of the above symptoms and think they might be a result of dry air in your home?

Dryer Fire Hazard

Your skin, lungs & other vital body parts are not the only thing at risk because of poor indoor air quality – you might also be putting your laundry room at risk of fire.

Dryers that utilize vents to exhaust fumes to the exterior of a home need to have those vents cleaned on a regular basis to ensure they are working efficiently. Not doing so can cause lint, dust and contaminants to clog the vent, which can significantly increase the risk of fire.

On top of the safety risk, clogged vents can also cause your machine to take longer to dry clothes, hampering its efficiency and running up your monthly bills.

That's why dryer vent cleaning is a necessity for a safe way to keep your machine running efficiently and cost-effectively.

Are you concerned about the risks associated with clogged dryer vents? Time for a thorough cleaning?

Bad Smells in Your Home

On top of the health risks they pose, those pesky little contaminants floating and flying through the air can also create unpleasant smells and odors that linger in your home.

That doesn't make for very pleasant day-to-day living; nobody wants to be forced to constantly replace an array or air fresheners or keep their windows open 24/7.

Both professional duct cleaning and UV air purifier products can help keep those unclean contaminants and bad smells out of your home, keeping the air fresh, clean and safe to breathe.
