Ans. The major problem with dirty ducts is that they are a breeding ground for a range of microbial, bacteria, pollutants, irritants, and allergens. Left unchecked these pollutants can then be pumped into your rooms via your HVAC system. Scientific testing is currently under way, but the Environmental Protection Agency has indicated that indoor air quality is severely worse than outdoor, and could be the cause of a number of illnesses and infections. HVAC duct cleaning can prevent the spread of pollutants through your house.
