Hidden Dangers of Dirty Ducts
Dirty ducts hold so much threat to your overall health and safety. Experts strongly suggest that you have your duct system inspected and cleaned to prevent allergens and contaminants from decreasing your home’s indoor air quality.
Below, we recount the many hidden dangers lurking in dirty ducts. Make sure to give this a good read so you can make the best decision for your home and loved ones.
Allergens in the air you breathe
Dust can build up in your ducts and can cause allergens to circulate in the air you breathe. This can trigger respiratory problems and also skin irritations when left to escalate. This can be a great threat to people with existing allergies and may also cause certain individuals to develop allergies over time.
Dust can be made of many things but is ultimately considered a health hazard.
Asbestos
Asbestos used to be one of the most common types of insulation used in homes but they have since been replaced because of the health hazard they pose. Asbestos is a known cause of mesothelioma, which is a type of cancer that develops in the thin layer that covers many internal organs. Asbestos is also a known cause of lung cancer. These pose serious health threats to anyone exposed to it.
Inhaling mold spores
Mould and fungi can cause health issues and also structural damage to your home that can escalate pretty quickly. Inhaling mold spores is never good; it can cause seasonal allergic reactions and even serious respiratory problems. Mould inhalation can also cause dizziness and headaches. Make sure to contact a professional who can thoroughly inspect your ducts and provide you with the most accurate remedy.
Among the most common health issues caused by inhaling contaminated air for an extended amount of time are asthma, skin asthma, respiratory infections, and allergies.
Cleaning your ducts will not only make your home a safer place for everyone but can also help your HVAC system run more efficiently. You can never go wrong with investing in professional HVAC cleaning and inspection. With the many benefits they provide, they are an investment that keeps on giving.

Great customer service. Responsive and professional. I would highly recommend Twintech, I used them previously for repair service and a new air conditioner- very satisfied.
Our air conditioner failed. Made a call and within 15 min a technician was at our door.
The issue was fixed and many suggestions were provided.
Thanks to Mitch. Great service !
Our furnace was rattling, as soon as we put our air conditioner on this past week. We had researched looking for a company that was Registered with Better Business Bureau, and this company TwinTech, had A+ Rating. Scott, was immediately helpful via text/phone and sent his technician as soon as he was able...Mitchell/technician provided great professional service. Thank you TwinTech.

I contacted various companies when looking to install a new furnace and I found Twintech to be transparent with their communication and approach. They had options to suit my various requirements and the price vs quality was very good. The after installation communication was also very good and they answered all queries I had.
My furnace broke down last month. The team was quick to respond, courteous, professional and mindful of COVID-19 concerns. I highly recommend them if you are considering replacing or servicing your HVAC equipment.
I was very happy with the installation and price. I would definitely recommend. Thank you Twintech.
Had furnace and air conditioning unit put in. They did an excellent job great price and everything clean as can be, I was very pleased
All winter I have had an issue with very little heat reaching the 2nd floor of our home. After this past winter ended I decided to look into this. I found Twintech Heating and Cooling on line and started the process. After explaining my problem I had a call form Twintech and the tech came out and walked through things with me. The problem was the heating vent pipe had been dropped down in size by someone years ago causing little heat reaching the 2nd floor. Further into checking out the older furnace and AC they found a few things not properly installed by the last install of the old furnace and also that the AC was on it's last legs. I asked for a quote and waited a few days and we decided to go ahead with Twintech. They called a few days before to set up an installation time and date. The day of the install the guys were a half hour early which was a plus. The day of the install was great, the guys worked away removing the old furnace and AC.After which they installed the new furnace and AC. After they cleaned up the basement with all their tools and scrap metal etc. they came back inside to walk thru what they did. They also tested both the furnace and cooling systems to make sure everything worked and I the customer was happy. I now have heat on the 2nd floor for next winter. The guys from Twin tech were very professional. Their work habits and knowledge of the job was excellent. Their workmanship was just excellent, it was just up there with my standards as a homeowner. I am very pleased to have chosen Twintech for my new furnace and AC.. If I had to rate this experience with Twintech this company is a 10 in my books.Product,workmanship and customer care says it all.

TwinTech is an excellent and honest company! I called them for a second opinion after being told by another company that I needed to replace my furnace. Turns out this was not the case at all! I did not need a new furnace. TwinTech did not push to make an unnecessary sale and saved me from a huge expense. Bob and Mitch were extremely professional and above all honest! I definitely recommend TwinTech!
Amazing experience with TwinTech Heating & Cooling! Their team was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient from start to finish. They installed my new furnace quickly and left everything spotless. The technicians took the time to explain everything and made sure I was comfortable with the system before they left. Great customer service and fair pricing. I highly recommend them for anyone needing HVAC services!
Great experience all around. Bob was sharp and easy to talk to, and Greg handled the installation perfectly. Would hire them again in a heartbeat.
