Are members of your family getting inexplicably sick, even outside of cold and flu seasons? The culprit may be mold, and it may be living inside your air conditioning ducts. However, our Charlotte air conditioning company can  help.

Mold is often challenging to detect and, apart from illness, it is otherwise detected by smell. However, relying on smell to detect mold is usually not recommended; many types of mold are odorless and if your infestation has spread to the point where odors are noticeable, the problem is already too serious. It doesn’t take much mold to cause noticeable problems within an office or household. If you wait long enough, people in the vicinity will have been exposed for an extended period of time, which can result in permanent health problems – which often show up years later.

Air ducts are, on average, one of the most neglected parts of the average home. Due to their lack of visibility, many homeowners often do not clean their air ducts until a problem arises. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has stated that air ducts should be cleaned on a regular basis to prevent environmental situations from impacting the air quality in your home.

Cleaning your Charlotte air ducts on an “as-needed” basis is only a good idea only if cleaning is done proactively in response to a certain scenario. Instances of having your air ducts cleaned as a preventative measure on an as needed basis include: cleaning them after discovering a leaking roof, a leaky pipe, flood, a nearby fire,  pest infestation, home remodeling, or after moving into a new home. It is not unusual for mold to grow as a result of the ordinary deterioration of your air conditioning unit either – a roof leak and a leaking pipe can exist for years before they’re detected. Rodents and insects can also be in your air ducts for long periods of time without them ever being brought to your attention.

Keeping your air ducts clean is very important. Airborne contaminants are drawn through the duct work of the central air conditioning system via return air registers.

Your goal is to improve your indoor air quality. Indoor air quality (IAQ) refers to the air quality within your home as it relates to the health and comfort of your family.

Believe it or not, poor indoor air quality has prompted doctors and allergists prescribe a clean home furnace and air duct cleaning as a remedy. Indoor Air Quality is one of the top five health concerns of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Air duct cleaning is a great way to make your indoor air quality safer. You should consider having the air ducts in your home cleaned if…

There is visible mold growth inside the duct or on other components of your heating and cooling system.

If you have insulated air ducts and the insulation gets wet or moldy.

• Ducts are infested with vermin like rodents or insects
• Ducts are clogged with excessive amounts of dust and debris and particles
• You have really bad allergies that flair up no matter the season or climate.

One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning in Charlotte has Indoor Air Quality expert technicians that can convert your heating and cooling system into a whole-house Air Treatment Center. Give us a call!

Allergy Relief: an HVAC Remedy?

Studies show that one of the most common causes of allergies and asthma is related to indoor air quality…the quality of the air inside your home. In fact, one of the most strongly allergenic materials found in the air you breathe when you’re inside is common house dust.

You may not realize it but house dust can be heavily contaminated with dust mite fecal pellets and cast skins. About 40,000 dust mites can thrive in just one ounce of dust. That means even the cleanest house probably has plenty of these allergy-causing microscopic critters. Yuck.

Plus, it’s estimated that dust mites factor into 50 to 80 percent of asthmatics, as well as countless cases of eczema, hay fever and other allergy-related ailments. Before you or someone in your family starts taking allergy shots, try a “whole house” approach.

We recommend  air duct cleaning and installing an HEPA  filter for controlling the source of the problem.

“Cure” BLACK MOLD danger

Black mold, a slimy greenish-black substance, is a type of mold that has been linked with serious health risks including infant death caused by respiratory bleeding, and illnesses such as asthma and bronchitis

Virtually every home has mold of some type, somewhere. Invisible mold spores are floating in the air both inside and out looking for a wet place to land and reproduce.

Although all types of mold are not toxic, it’s difficult to distinguish between the toxic and non-toxic without lab testing. That’s why it’s important to treat all molds as if they were potentially harmful.

How can you virtually “cure” the potential for mold-related problems?

We recommend air duct cleaning  often and installing an ultraviolet germicidal light as part of your existing heating system  to kill and control the live mold spores.

This will control black mold so that you have clean air throughout your home.
