As new homes being build are becoming more and more air tight air flow is restricted and indoor air pollution has become a growing concern.  But what is duct cleaning and how can it help my indoor air quality?  The term duct cleaning generally refers to the cleaning of the components of your HVAC system.  The components include items such as supply and return ducts, registers and even the unit itself.  Dirty air ducts can trap and hold many contaminates that could be of a health concern especially for those with compromised immune systems.  Some contaminates that may be found in your ducts include, pet dander, mold and even unusual smells could be a sign of your ducts needing cleaning.
