Changing Air Filters In Your Home

January 17, 2025/in Air Quality
Maintaining clean air filters in your home goes beyond just your HVAC system. While changing your central HVAC air filter every 45-60 days is crucial, it’s equally important to consider other filters that impact your indoor air quality.
One often overlooked filter is your vacuum cleaner’s filter. A dirty vacuum filter can significantly contribute to poor indoor air quality.
When you vacuum with a clogged filter, the airflow forces contaminants through the filter and back into your home’s air. This process essentially defeats the purpose of vacuuming, as it redistributes dust, bacteria, and other particles throughout your living space.

To maintain optimal air quality, remember to:

  1. Change or clean your vacuum filter regularly according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  2. Check and replace other household filters, such as those in air purifiers or range hoods.
  3. Keep up with your HVAC filter replacement schedule, adjusting as needed based on factors like pets, allergies, or increased system usage.

By maintaining all the filters in your home, not just your HVAC filter, you can significantly improve your indoor air quality and create a healthier living environment.

Health Conditions Triggered By Dirty Ducts

January 13, 2025/in Air Quality

We all know that polluted air and smoke are bad to breath, but we sometimes forget to think about the air quality in our home. Dirty air ducts can significantly contribute to allergy symptoms and respiratory issues. Allergens such as dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and other microscopic particles accumulate in ductwork over time. When the HVAC system operates, it circulates these irritants throughout the home, triggering allergic reactions. This is an interesting Article about 5 health conditions that are triggered by breathing polluted air from dirty ducts.

Mold In Ducts

April 30, 2024/in Air Quality

Tackling a Tough Mold Problem in Home Ductwork

A homeowner reached out to us with a serious mold issue in their ductwork. They had already consulted a mold specialist, who found that the problem was too big for regular cleaning methods.

What We Found

When we arrived to check things out, we noticed:

  • The ducts were made of PVC and built into the concrete slab
  • Our special cameras showed mold throughout the entire duct system
  • PVC ducts are prone to condensation, which likely caused the mold to grow

Our Solution: Duct Armor

To fix this tricky problem, we used our special Duct Armor product. This innovative solution:

  • Traps existing mold
  • Creates a surface that resists future mold growth
  • Helps prevent condensation inside the ducts

A New Partnership

While we often work with Green Home Solutions, this was our first time teaming up with this particular mold company. It shows that more specialists are recognizing our unique skills in handling tough HVAC mold problems.

The Result

By using Duct Armor, we not only solved the immediate mold issue but also improved the long-term health and performance of the home’s duct system. This case highlights our ability to provide lasting solutions for complex indoor air quality challenges, especially when standard cleaning just isn’t enough

What Our Customers Are Saying

I use duct armor of Central Indiana to seal my under the floor ducts because there was water seeping through caused by the high water table in the area. They did everything efficiently and I felt for a fair price. Both Josh and Ben came out and when they left, the job was clean. I’m super pleased with the way everything was done! I will be definitely using them again in the future. I highly recommend their services.
