(MENAFN- GetNews) As the fall season approaches, and businesses in the East Valley are encouraged to focus on improving indoor air quality. With cooler temperatures on the way, many will be spending more time indoors, making it even more important to ensure the air inside is clean and healthy. Dukes of Air & Plumbing, a trusted provider of HVAC and plumbing services for residents of Mesa, Gilbert, and the surrounding East Valley community, offers essential HVAC maintenance tips to help improve indoor air quality this fall. The Role of HVAC Systems in Indoor Air Quality HVAC systems play a crucial role in maintaining indoor air qualit by filtering out dust, allergens, and pollutants from the air. When an HVAC system is not properly maintained, it can accumulate dust, dirt, and other contaminants that are then circulated throughout the home or business. This can lead to poor air quality, aggravating allergies and respiratory issues. Regular HVAC maintenance is key to ensuring the system functions optimally and contributes to a cleaner, healthier indoor environment.
Filters trap dust, pollen, pet dander, and other airborne particles, preventing them from circulating throughout your home. Imagine a car’s air filter; it’s the same principle. A dirty filter restricts airflow, making your HVAC system work harder and potentially increasing energy bills. Replacing filters every one to three months, depending on usage, is recommended.
The process of duct cleaning involves several steps, including inspection, cleaning, and sealing. First, a professional technician inspects the ductwork to identify any obstructions, leaks, or damage. This inspection helps determine the extent of the cleaning required. Next, the technician uses specialized equipment to remove the accumulated dust and contaminants. This equipment includes vacuum cleaners, brushes, and air compressors.
High humidity levels create an ideal environment for mold and mildew to thrive. These organisms need moisture to survive and reproduce, and high humidity levels provide them with ample opportunity to flourish. **Example:** A damp basement or a poorly ventilated bathroom can quickly become a breeding ground for mold and mildew due to high humidity levels.
