During the summer, much attention is paid to proper attic insulation, air conditioning unit inspections and coolant levels, along with putting your thermostat on an energy efficient cycle. However, cleaning your air ducts can often be an overlooked yet very important step in air conditioning effectiveness.

Highland Village TX air duct cleaning service from Southern Comfort & Mechanical is a vital part of keeping the air in your home not only clean, but flowing productively. An air duct system is a breeding ground for bacteria, animal dander, mold, and dust mites. These impurities can cause allergic reactions, breathing difficulties, infections and disease. Proper ventilation not only ensures the indoor air quality is up to stringent standards, but also removes smells, excess moisture, introduces outside air, removes bacteria, keeps air circulating throughout your home, and prevents stagnation.

Southern Comfort & Mechanical utilizes state-of-the-art air duct cleaning equipment to eliminate the contaminants in your home air duct structure that may be harmful to you, your family or your employees. According to McKinsey Quarterly, dirty coils and ducts use as much as 30% more energy than clean ones and the EPA ranks indoor air pollution among the top five health risks. Your Highland Village air conditioning company will help you eliminate the risk.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the connection between respiratory issues and mold and allergens can all be traced to proper – or improper – indoor air quality. Among the stronger allergens found in the air, ironically, is common house dust.

What many don’t realize is that house dust can be heavily contaminated with disgusting particles such as cast skins and fecal matter from dust mites. With the help of one ounce of dust, as many as 40,000 dust mites can grow and mature. Even the cleanest house in the world can have dust mites, which means allergies are high-risk at all times. It also is a fact that dust mites can be a major factor in respiratory issues and even asthma.

Allergy shots are a good idea, but when it comes to maintaining respiratory issues, our Lewisville TX HVAC representatives at Southern Comfort Mechanical A/C & Heating suggest a thorough air duct cleaning, as well as the installation of new air filters. Dirt and dust accumulates in air ducts, which results in a breeding ground for mold and bacteria. Duct cleaning reduces allergens and also increases the efficiency of your air conditioning unit.

As disgusting as it may sound, mold is a part of everyday life. With humidity, there’s mold, and with mold toxins, there comes all the allergies and other conditions we tend to associate mold with.

One form of mold that can cause serious problems is black mold. This can be found anywhere in the home but is most commonly found in duct work or on the ceilings or walls. Black mold grows best in dark, moist environments. The most common visible sign of black mold will be a patch of dark speckles.

Black mold is the result of high humidity incorporated with low ventilation. It can cause major health issues and often times starts off with unexplained rashes or other allergic reactions. Living in an area with a high black mold count can lead to respiratory problems that can be extremely harmful.

In order to remove black mold, a highly trained HVAC professional must be called, as parts of a wall or area in your home may have to be removed altogether. You may clean black mold off a specific area, but microscopic spores still exist, which could result in the mold returning. One step for early prevention is to install a dehumidifier in your home. Dehumidifiers reduce the moisture level in your home or office.

Regular air duct services should be scheduled in an effort to prevent black mold in your environment. Our Lewisville TX HVAC specialists can assist you with more information about black mold and how it can endanger your health.
