Atlanta Residential HVAC Decontamination

Everything that contaminates your air flows through all the elements of your Atlanta air ducts and HVAC (heating ventilation and air conditioning) system. As the air flows through that HVAC system, contaminants in your air accumulate in and throughout each component.

What are some airborne pollutants in your home that can accumulate in your HVAC system?

Mold, mildew and pollen. Dander, fur, and hair. Smoke, grease, cooking and residues. Cigarette and cigar smoke. Chemicals produced by cleaning products, personal care products, and even scented candles and air fresheners. Off-gases from furnishings, paints, and carpets. Drywall dust, dirt, and grime.

All of those elements – many of them potential allergens and irritants that can contribute to and cause significant health issues – accumulate unseen inside your ducts, where some such as mold can multiply and be redistributed throughout your home.

How can you protect your family’s health?

To protect your family from irritants, allergens and threats to health that can accumulate in your ducts, have your home’s entire HVAC system — its lungs and circulatory system — assessed and cleaned every year.

When you think “ducts,” you may envision square metal tubes behind the walls and in the joists of your home that end in vents and returns. Your HVAC system is much more than just those tubes and vents, though. To understand just how important it is to have the entire system cleaned regularly, consider just how many elements there are in a residential HVAC system.

A standard residential HVAC system includes: an air handler unit that itself contains a blower, heating elements, and cooling elements; dampers that control the volume of air that flows through a zone or even seals off airflow in the event of a fire; fittings called take-offs that ensure the correct airflow from the main ducts through each subsidiary or branch duct servicing particular floors, rooms, and vents; a plenum that distributes the air into rooms through vents and brings air back into the air handler via return intakes; duct fittings that you might more commonly think of as vents or reducers with adjustments to ensure your comfort.

The entire HVAC system consists of mechanical elements, electrical connections, and even electronic sensors

Accumulated dirt, dust, debris and other contaminants affects every component. Dirt, dust, debris, and other contaminants that accumulate in the mechanical parts components can be redistributed through your home to place the health of your air and lungs at risk. That same accumulation, especially when combined with the pollution of electrical and electronic components, can degrade the efficiency of your HVAC system. Which means at least two things — more discomfort and higher energy costs.
