Most homeowners have no idea what goes on inside their home's air ducts. But the fact is, they can become littered with years of accumulated dirt, debris and allergens like pollen, dust and pet dander.

Indoor air pollution is a serious health hazard affecting millions of Americans.

Indoor Air Quality: Research by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has determined that our indoor environment has two to five times more pollutants than outside air. A great way to remove pollutants is through air duct cleaning and HVAC system cleaning. Poor indoor air quality (IAQ) is a serious problem facing homeowners today, according to the American Lung Association. The roots of this problem can be traced directly to the desire for energy-efficient homes to minimize the effects of higher energy costs. Unfortunately, making homes tighter and more energy efficient also reduces the naturally occurring exchange of indoor and outdoor air. Fresh outside air stays out, while air pollutants, excessive humidity and/or overly dry conditions stagnate the indoor air over time.

Cleaning air ducts can prevent damage to your home.

Air duct cleaning costs are significantly less than the damage poor indoor air quality can cost you. While homeowners can't see the majority of indoor air contaminants, they certainly see the effects. These microscopic particles can slowly stain:

• walls
• ceilings
• furniture
• drapes
• carpet
