Indoor air quality plays a crucial role in your health and overall comfort at home. Yet, many homeowners remain unaware of the early warning signs that their indoor air is filled with pollutants. Poor IAQ can lead to various health problems, reduce the efficiency of your HVAC system, and even damage your home. Identifying the signs of poor indoor air quality early can help protect your family and improve your living environment. Below are some key indicators that your home’s air may need improvement.
Imagine what your hot water heater would do without any pipes that connected it to the faucets and spigots around your home. Without those pipes to deliver the hot water, your water heater would be useless. Even leaking pipes are going to negatively impact the job the system has to do.

(We were just kidding about the teeny tiny part, your ducts are actually quite complex and rather important!) And, in actuality, duct cleaning is not something you can do yourself — for a job like this, you’ve got to call in the pros!
