Having your air ducts cleaned can have many benefits. For example, if you or someone in your home has allergies, asthma, chronic fatigue, itchy eyes, sinus problems or breathing disorders can often help bring relief. Many of the things that trigger these types of disorders can accumulate inside the air ducts of your home. Imagine the difference between standing in front of two air ducts. The first is blowing dust, dust mites, bacteria, carpet fibers, fungus, mold spores, pet dander and more directly into your face. It’s not a good feeling is it?
