Do you have dark spots on your heating and air conditioning vents? Do you notice black dust particles accumulating on furniture and countertops? Mr. Duct Cleaner knows that this may be a sign of mold in your HVAC and duct system. Seeing a little mold is like seeing one roach. You know that most likely there is a lot more where that came from.
Mold likes to grow in dark, moist, confined spaces. Whether you are using your ducts and vents to blow hot air or cold air, when your HVAC system is off, any mold spores present will settle and thrive in the dark, warm atmosphere of your ducts. The dirt in your ducts is mold food.
Unfortunately, you can’t always see the extent of the problem with the naked eye. Mold often lurks deep inside the ductwork, quietly spreading and releasing invisible spores into the air you breathe. Over time, these spores can contribute to unpleasant odors, allergic reactions, and even respiratory issues for your household. Ignoring the presence of mold allows it to multiply unchecked, making remediation more difficult and potentially more costly down the road.
How do you stop mold from forming in your HVAC system? Start with regular maintenance of your HVAC system performed by a professional. Change your filters regularly. Open your windows whenever possible and circulate air. Get your air ducts and HVAC system cleaned every 2-3 years. Have the pros at Mr. Duct Cleaner perform a Clean Seal (warrantied for 10 years) and plug up those small leakage points.
Finally, if you want more assurance that your indoor air is clean, have the professionals at Mr. Duct Cleaner install an Aerus Air Scrubber. The air scrubber works whenever you turn your HVAC system on. It continuously pushes out hydrogen peroxide molecules (we call them purification warriors) that will attach themselves to any mold spores, VOC’s, flu viruses or any other contaminants. Once attached, they deactivate the bad actors and they become harmless. Typically, this happens within 90 seconds of when the contaminant is introduced into your home. So, if someone comes into your home with a virus (including Covid 19), the purification warriors will deactivate it within 90 seconds. If mold spores are introduced, the same process happens. The purification warriors attack the mold spores and deactivate them, turning them into harmless, dead, dirt.
