Indoor Air Quality in Wilmington, NC
Did you know the air inside your home can be four to five times more polluted than the air outside? Indoor air pollutants such as bacteria, viruses, dust, dirt, mold spores, and allergens can contaminate your home’s air.
These contaminants can aggravate respiratory diseases and infections, especially in children and older adults. While this can be disturbing to think about, there are many products you can add to your home to help clean your air. ARS of Wilmington can install these for you, as well as provide services to maintain your indoor air quality.
HVAC system service and cleaning
Servicing your HVAC system and cleaning your home’s ductwork can go a long way toward helping you breathe more freely in your own home. Every day, things such as mold, dust, viruses, bacteria, and dust mites can circulate through your air after passing through your HVAC system. By adding a whole home air purifier to it, you can remove a high percentage of these toxins from your air.
Your ducts should be cleaned every two to three years to ensure clean indoor air. Over time, dirt and debris build up in your ducts and become a holding ground for dust mites, pollens, and allergens. These microscopic pollutants can quickly multiply, creating millions of virus and bacteria particles inside your ductwork that are constantly flowing through the air simply because your ducts aren’t clean.
