Should You Get Your Heating Ducts Cleaned?

A hot air furnace heats and distributes air through its ducting system.The ducts are usually made of sheet metal and are most obvious in your basement, where they hang from the floor joists.The return, or cold air, ducts bring air to the furnace, usually collecting it centrally in the house. The return air trunk duct is the big rectangular duct along the basement ceiling that enters the bottom of the furnace. The supply, or warm air, ducting usually exits from the top of the furnace. It starts with a trunk duct on the basement ceiling.The individual supply ducts, in round or smaller rectangular sheet metal, branch off the trunk duct and go to each room, where they terminate in a floor or wall register. Over time, dust and debris will collect in these ducts, particularly in the return air ducts.You may be wondering whether it would be worthwhile to have these ducts cleaned.

Asbestos

Asbestos fibers can be released from damaged asbestos-containing materials such as ceiling tiles, floor tiles, pipe insulation, and many others. Exposure to asbestos may increase a person’s risk for lung disease including cancer. If you think you might have a problem with asbestos, consider the following:
Is It Asbestos?

 

·                     Because not all varieties of the materials mentioned above contain asbestos, testing is necessary to be sure you are dealing with asbestos.

 


What is the Condition of the Material?

·                     Asbestos is only an immediate hazard it if is damaged and friable or is in dust form.


What Type of Material Are You Working With?

·                     Some asbestos-containing building materials are more hazardous than others due to their friability.

Radon

Radon is considered to be the second leading cause of lung cancer and has been found in many Wisconsin homes. In fact, radon was found in 20% of a random sample of Dane County homes in 1994. Other than lung cancer, there are no other known health effects from exposure to radon.
The only way to know if you are exposed to radon in your home is to test.

 

Carbon Monoxide or Other Combustion Products

Burning natural gas, fuel oil, wood, and other fuels generate carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide and various other air pollutants. Carbon monoxide causes headache, nausea, and drowsiness. It is lethal when a person is exposed to high levels. Nitrogen dioxide will irritate the lungs and air passages, which may make existing respiratory illnesses (asthma, allergy, etc.) worse. Depending on the fuel burned, any other pollutants may be produced that have a wide range of health effects. To protect you and your family:

·                     Ensure that all combustion appliances (stove, furnace, water heater, fireplace grills, etc.) are vented to the outside and operating properly. Furnaces should be inspected once a year to make sure they are working properly. Contact your utility provider or a heating contractor for service.

·                     Install and maintain carbon monoxide detectors in your home.

·                     Do not operate your car or ay other gas-powered equipment within a garage or other enclosed space.

·                     Never use invented combustion appliances indoors.


If you or a family member is experiencing carbon monoxide symptoms, leave the home and call 911 for assistance from your local Fire Department or contact your utility provider.

Dust, Mold & Biological Contaminants

Dust, mold, and other biological contaminants are present in most homes and, in many cases, are not at present a health hazard. However, depending on the types of dust or mold and the health status of the individuals in the home, these items can cause significant health concerns. Asthma and allergy sufferers may experience allergic symptoms or asthma attacks when exposed to animal dander, specific mold spores, or many other pollutants. Even persons without pre-existing medical conditions may experience eyes, nose or throat irritation when exposed to high levels of dust, mold, or other contaminants. To reduce the potential for adverse health effects from exposure to these items:

·                     Identify and correct any moisture problems in your home. Toronto Duct Cleaning can help you address moisture, air quality, mold, and energy issues in your home, Call 416-892-5241

Environmental Tobacco Smoke

Environmental tobacco smoke, also known as passive or second-hand smoke, is a known carcinogen that has been linked to lung cancer and cancers of the nasal sinuses. To reduce your family’s cancer risks from this pollutant, prohibit smoking in your home or car. When possible, choose smoke-free establishments when eating out. Toronto is working hard to increase the number of smoke-free locations in the City.


Household Chemicals (cleaners, disinfectants, pesticides)

Household cleaners and solvents can be an insidious source of indoor air quality. Depending on the chemical involved, a wide range of health effects may occur from improper use, over use or storage of these chemicals. To protect your family:

·                     Follow label directions carefully when using or storing the chemical.

·                     Use only the amount of chemical that you need to accomplish the job. More is not always better.

·                     Purchase only what you need. Extra chemicals only presents potential storage and spill problems.

Kitchen And Bathroom Fans Cleaning

Friday, January 30th, 2009

The   Importance 

Of   Bathroom  

And   Kitchen   Fans

Bathroom and kitchen fans are an important part of your home’s ventilation system. They remove odours from your house, which improves indoor air quality. They also remove moisture, which decreases the level of humidity in your house. High humidity can damage building materials and can cause mold growth. Mold may affect your family’s health.

Common Fan and Exhaust Systems

The two most common types of fans are impeller fans and blower fans.

Impeller fans move air with blades similar to airplane propellers.

Blower fans look like hamster wheels — they are often called squirrel cages — and generally do a better job of moving air than impeller fans.

Most exhaust systems consist of an exhaust fan, ducting and an exterior hood. Some houses have a central exhaust system, in which one fan draws moisture and odours from several rooms of the house using a network of ducts.

Kitchen exhaust systems usually have the fan and fan motor in the exhaust hood. Other systems use an in-line fan, which is in the exhaust duct, or a fan outside the house. In-line and outdoor exhaust fans are usually quieter than systems with the fan in the room.

A heat recovery ventilator (HRV) also exhausts moisture and odours. An HRV is a self-contained ventilation system that provides balanced air intake and exhaust. Like a central exhaust fan, it can be connected to several rooms by ducting.

Cleaning

Fans create static electricity which attracts dirt like a magnet to the fan and its housing. The dirt can encourage mold growth and restrict air movement. Clean fans, housings, backdraft dampers and exterior flaps seasonally. A typical bathroom fan can be cleaned by pulling down the grill, and unplugging and removing the fan module. Fans in ducts and exterior fans may be difficult to clean.
