Spring brings a wonderful respite from cold cruel winters…  but unfortunately, it also brings allergy problems. As pollen fills the air – and our nostrils – it can make life pretty unpleasant, as well as potentially reduce the quality of life or productivity in your building.

While you can’t keep all the allergens out, there’s one thing you can do which will help reduce them: get professional air duct cleaning near you in Vancouver.  Your air ducts could be hiding a lot of allergens and other undesirable particles, and a good cleaning will keep them out of the local air.

How Vancouver Air Duct Cleaning Services Help Reduce Allergies

It’s easy to forget about your air ducts since they’re completely out of sight. Unfortunately, like anything else, they get dirty over time. It’s relatively easy for a small amount of sticky grime to get into the vents, and allow dust and other particles to start building up.  Then, whenever there’s a strong gust of air, these get dislodged and blown back into the rest of the building.

Worse, if ducts go without cleaning for long enough, they can easily become home to vermin such as roaches or mice. Besides the obvious reasons you don’t want them in your building, there’s also the matter of their droppings and other waste. These, too, can get blown into the building by the HVAC system.

Plus, if you’re managing a residential complex, pet dander is another consideration. Many people are allergic to animal dander which – yes – also tends to get sucked into ducts and then blown out.

All these elements will increase allergy problems within your building, but a professional air duct cleaning makes them go away.

When Should Your Air Ducts Be Cleaned?

In general, air ducts don’t need to be cleaned all that often – probably every 2-3 years.  That said, keep an eye on your air vents. If you ever see a buildup of dust on the vents, or anywhere nearby, that’s a big red flag that your vents have become too dirty and need professional cleaning.
