Are Allergens Lurking in Your Air Ducts?

Does someone in your Bergen County home have allergies and, despite meticulous cleaning, is still experiencing indoor allergen symptoms? This could be a sign that your air ducts need attention. At J R Air Duct Cleaning, through our air duct cleaning services, we’ve witnessed firsthand just how many allergens can reside in your system. Let’s take a look at why this happens and what you can do about it.

A Breakdown of Common Allergens

The air ducts in our home help circulate air through our space, but unfortunately, they can harbor a variety of allergens.

• Pet Dander: Comprising small and microscopic flecks of skin shed by pets like cats, dogs, and birds, pet dander is a common allergen. It's estimated that over 15% of the population is allergic to household pets.

• Dust: Household dust is a complex mixture of particles, including textile fibers, insect parts, food particles, and soot.

• Pollen: These fine particles released by plants during their reproductive cycle can infiltrate homes through open doors and windows.

Unfortunately, when HVAC systems operate, they recirculate allergens throughout your home. This can result in constant exposure and prolonged allergic reactions. This often leads to sneezing, coughing, watery eyes, or more severe respiratory issues.

How Air Duct Cleaning Helps Reduce Indoor Allergens

Hiring a professional to provide regular air duct cleaning services can significantly reduce the amount of pet dander, dust, and pollen in your home. By removing these contaminants, you'll experience improved indoor air quality. Also, consider these extra benefits:

• Better HVAC Efficiency: Dust and debris can impede airflow, causing your system to work harder and consume more energy.
• Elimination of Odors: Accumulated dust and microbial growth can produce unpleasant smells. Cleaning the ducts helps to get rid of these odors.
• Cleaner Living Environment: Reducing dust circulation means less accumulation on surfaces, contributing to overall cleaner homes.
