Alright, you’ve probably guessed it by now: we are pretty stoked about clean air vents. Shocker, we know. But do you know why? There are important health benefits to having clean indoor air. Wether you live in Salt Lake City, Utah County, Davis Country, Park City or anywhere else in Utah; indoor air pollution is a cause for a lot of ailments and diseases, yet chances are you’ve never read about it in your favorite health magazine or on your favorite health blog. Indoor air pollution is a significantly underestimated issue! This is especially true across Salt Lake County, Utah County, Davis Country, Weber County and the rest of the Wasatch Front. Besides health related issues, dirty or contaminated air vents are also a threat to your wallet and your home. Here are 5 essential benefits of clean air vents in your Utah home.
1. Prevent the spread of harmful organism
Let’s kick it off with arguably the most important benefit: to prevent the spread of harmful organisms. Most people are unaware of how dirty air ducts affect the indoor air quality of their home and business. Dirty air ducts are a breeding ground for bacteria, fungus, allergens, spores and mold. These could be causing or aggravating sickness and physical ailments. An air vent cleaning may not be as fancy of a purchase as a new TV or a new comfy chair, but the peace of mind that comes from knowing your indoor air is free of all these harmful organism is truly priceless.
2. Eliminate allergens from indoor air
In our recent blog 10 WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR ALLERGY SYMPTOMS we wrote about the ways to reduce allergy symptoms and the causes of your allergy symptoms in Utah. If you've been experiencing an itchy throat, watering eyes or a runny nose, you’re probably experiencing symptoms of seasonal allergies. If that’s the case, you're most likely spending more time inside to avoid the pollen that’s outside. Make sure your indoor air is actually filtered as effectively as possible by having clean air vents and filter. If your air filters are clogged or dirty, and your air ducts are circulating pollen throughout your home, you may continue to experience allergy symptoms even after allergy season is over.
3. Reduce dust
Tired of constantly having to dust? Dusty air vents are likely the main contributor to this never-ending chore. The third benefit of clean air ducts in your Utah home is a reduced amount of dust circulating throughout your house and accumulating on surfaces. Your house can never be truly clean unless the dirt and dust is also removed from your central air system. There are much better ways to spend your free time than having to dust shelves!
4. Reduce utility bills
What if a one-time investment could reduce your monthly expenses? An air vent cleaning is one of those investments that's very likely to pay for itself. Your utility costs are likely to decrease after a thorough air vent cleaning. It reduces the strain on your air system, increasing its lifespan, and makes sure there are no restrictions or foreign objects that are hindering the air flow.
5. Remove foreign objects
