Home wellness tips to prevent seasonal illness & allergies

Also, dust and mold that isn’t removed can affect air quality in your home which can increase you and your family’s chances of sickness or long-term health problems if left untreated. Allergy and flu-like symptoms can develop as a result of poor air quality caused by a dirty filter or ductwork. Duct cleaning is of utmost important when speaking about the “wellness” of your home. Having an HVAC professional annually clean your ducts will eliminate build-up of dust and mold. Because they are hidden from plain site, you may not think to have the inside of your ducts cleaned. However, the Environmental Protection Agency ranks indoor air quality as one of the top 5 environmental risks to public health. 87% of American homeowners are not aware of indoor pollution.
