Hidden Dangers of Dirty Ducts
Posted On: July 28, 2021
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.

Appreciated a quick response to my request. Dave and Greg were very professional and made the experience seamless.

Very professional through the entire process. Installation and removel was done on a sloppy winter day, they put down runners on the floors and stairs and when they left, there wasn;t any sign of someone being in our house. Furnace works great as promised.

Dave was very pleasant to deal with and Twintech responded quickly when our furnace needed to be replaced ASAP. Installation was done on time and the crew were neat and tidy. We now have a great furnace that suits the needs of our family.

When your furnace kicks in over the holidays and you're not sure where to turn.. I'm so thankful that this company returned my phone call. I appreciated their transparency and clarity which allowed me to make an informed decision. With various quotes thrown at you, it can be difficult to make the right decision and trust the solutions offered by different companies. TwinTech spoke the truth and delivered on their word. Neat, timely and clean service; the peace of mind I needed during a very cold holiday season. I highly recommend them!

Pulling a old unit out and installing a modern heating system! Required drilling holes in the wall for the newer pipes. We went from 70% (I am willing to bet it was far less due to lack of maintenance and just old) to 96% newer . It now feels warmer and more pressure and we use to run extra heaters and feel as though they are not necessary!
Feb 1, 2021
I received three quotes before deciding to choose Twintech. Dave's prices was much more reasonable than the competitors. I most appreciated their honest recommendations. Others tried to oversell their products and services. Thank you Dave!

My 19 year old furnace stopped working when the cold weather hit in November, and I was left without heat. I interviewed several companies and found TWINTECH HEATING and COOLING to be very knowledgeable, quick to respond to my inquiries and very competitively priced.
Dave provided all of the information and pricing ahead of time and set up the appointment for the installation. Greg and Mitch arrived on time to do the installation and worked quickly and efficiently to complete the job.
After the completion of the installation, Dave followed up to ensure that everything was working well and that I didn't have any concerns.
Overall, this was a low-stress and flawless experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend TWINTECH HEATING and COOLING to anyone that requires a new furnace.

Our 20 year old furnace broke down during the first cold weekend this past November and our usual HVAC company never returned our phone call. Their loss, missing out on a sale since we didn't want to spend much fixing an old furnace and our 40 year old air conditioner was also long overdue for replacement. We proceeded in obtaining three different quotes for furnace and air conditioner replacement, and proceeded with the one we received from Twintech.
Dave was friendly, knowledgable and accommodating to our schedule and provided with us with a price that fell in the middle of the three quotes that we had. We felt that the Amana furnace and air conditioner he quoted us on were the best products and value offered to us and felt most comfortable with the professionalism and reputation of Twintech.
Greg, Grant and Mitch were at our house for installation the day after we decided to proceed. The guys were friendly and informative, the job was completed efficiently and workmanship appears excellent. Our house is certainly much more comfortable with the new two-stage variable speed Amana furnace compared to the old clunker! And, we're looking forward to enjoying the new air conditioner once summer rolls around again. Thanks Twintech!
