Obviously, the air inside your home is the air that you and your family inhale every single day. But that air is only as clean as your ductwork, and… how clean is yours?
Old ductwork, or ductwork that’s dirty or damaged can negatively impact your family’s health. In order to avoid health issues, we recommend that you choose antimicrobial ductwork – and Hurricane Air, located in Fort Myers, is one of the only HVAC companies in Florida that offers this amazing service.
Antimicrobial ducts keep you and your family healthier by keeping your air cleaner, and they keep your air cleaner by keeping contaminants out.
Air Contaminants
You might be wondering what sort of contaminants are able to get into regular, run-of-the-mill ductwork. Take a look at this list:
- Bacteria
- Fungi
- Mold
- Mildew
- Pet dander
Do those things sound like particles that you want to be breathing in? The answer is, hopefully, no. But with your HVAC system running 24/7, these contaminants are constantly being swirled around your home and inhaled into your lungs. Think of how badly that must be affecting your allergies!
With an antimicrobial duct system, those contaminants don’t stand a chance.
Antimicrobial Ducts
Antimicrobial ducts are a great solution for a number of reasons, such as:
- They use anti-formaldehyde insulation and reduce your family’s formaldehyde exposure
- They prevent antimicrobial growth in your ducts
- They protect against bacteria known to cause illness
- They battle pet dander
- They’re environmentally friendly
- They keep your family healthier in general
Before We Forget…
While having germ-free ducts is incredibly important, so is having the right-sized ducts for your home. Oversized ducts cause your HVAC system to work too hard to pump too much air through a space that’s too large, which puts a cap on the amount of conditioned air your home receives. When your system is overworked, it’s prone to breakdowns – and your energy bill will be astronomical.
Undersized ducts are a problem, too. The pressure will increase and back up the entire system, which also reduces the life of your HVAC system and its efficiency. This, too, will lead to your system breaking down eventually.
