While there are several things you can do on your own, such as replacing your air filters on a regular basis, that does not mean your air duct system is able to properly filter out the small debris and particles that may be flowing from your heating and cooling system. There are also dusts particles, airborne bacteria, mold, and mildew that can become trapped and eventually fester inside your air duct system. Strong airborne diseases such as influenza can travel through your air duct system and move throughout your property, threatening your indoor air quality. We recommend a microbial treatment inside the air duct to protect your indoor environment. Call us for more information.
