Asthma affects about 23 million people of all ages and races. Despite the fact that asthma is widespread, public awareness of common asthma triggers and ways to manage asthma remains limited. As Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month, May is a great time for businesses and consumers who are sensitive to indoor air quality to better understand the triggers and solutions.
Cleaning a commercial buildings or homes heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system can have marked therapeutic benefits to those who suffer from asthma and/or other respiratory ailments. Pure Air Control Services Building Remediation Sciences (BRS) division provides a compressive and complete professional HVAC system cleaning that has proven to reduce airborne allergens.
"There are many different ways to clean a heating and cooling system, though there are only a few ways to do it right" stated Ed Ziegler, VP Business Development. "Building Remediation Sciences (a NADCA member) has provided professional cleaning services to over 10,000 facilities covering over 600 million square feet of indoor environments including thousands of consumers as well as healthcare, federal facilities school and universities over the past 24 years."
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) states that an HVAC air duct system should normally be inspected every year and cleaned when it is visibly dirty, which is about every three to five years, depending on maintenance.
In addition, according to the US Department of Energy (DOE) the “HVAC system accounts for 40 to 60 percent of the energy used in U.S. commercial and residential buildings. This represents an opportunity for energy savings using proven technologies and design concepts”. A recent ASHRAE Journal article revealed a $40,000 a year savings from just one air handling system restoration at the ABC Studios and Good Morning America building, Times Square, New York City. Improved indoor air quality and energy savings are just two of the many benefits to professional duct cleaning.
"May is a good time to take a look inside your building’s or your home's duct work to see if it looks dirty enough to require a professional inspection and or cleaning," said Ziegler. “If your ducts look dirty, they probably are. Ducts are like a babies diaper…they should not be wet, they should not smell and they should not be dirty.”
