Why Clean Ductwork Matters in Your Workplace | SERVPRO® of South Nashville

Air ducts in your commercial building or office space have a very important job. They circulate the air flow from your heating and cooling equipment throughout your commercial building or office space to ensure it is properly conditioned at all times.

Like everything in your commercial building or office space, dust can start to settle in your ductwork after just a few hours of non-movement. Dust begins to move when the system powers up, and it comes out and into your working environment. By removing the dust from within, you’ll make your workplace a cleaner place to work.

It’s important to ensure it is as clean as possible.

If you’ve never had your ducts cleaned before, now may be a perfect time. There are many benefits to duct cleaning, including:

Improving the Air Quality in Your Workplace

Take a deep breath. How clean is the air you are breathing? It is common for people in this region of Tennessee to suffer from allergies, cleaner air helps keep you healthier overall. Every time you breathe in dust and pollutants, they have the potential to trigger sneezing and coughing, as well as impact your sinuses or bronchial congestion. Cleaning your air ducts regularly ensures you’ll always have a clean air supply to breathe in, which could eliminate doctor visits and increase employee attendance.

Get Rid of Irritants in the Air

Let’s face it, it’s not just dust that lurks in your air ducts. Harmful contaminants and microorganisms live there too. Pet dander, bacteria, pollen, mildew, and other pollutants can all impact the air you breathe. A periodic air duct cleaning helps keep the coworkers in your commercial building or office space healthier instead or circulating potential problems over and over again.

Removing Odors

Every commercial building or office space has its own unique smell. And sometimes it isn’t the most pleasant thing. Pets, cleaning agents, paint fumes, mildew, food, tobacco use, and more all contribute to stale smells that can settle in over time. A detailed cleaning of the air ducts can help remove odor that is trapped in dust particles, giving you a fresher smelling commercial building or office space.

Improving HVAC Efficiency

When ductwork and registers have a heavy buildup of dust and grime, they may not operate as efficiently as possible. When the air supply is cut off in any capacity, it means your system has to work harder to accomplish the same outcome. A cleaner system is designed to operate as efficiently as possible, giving you a system that operates at peak efficiency and provides cost-effective performance year round.
