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.

I had them replace my furnace last year. When it came time for the air conditioner this year, I did not hesitate to call Twintech again. I will also have them perform regular maintenance on them.
We required a new HVAC replacement after running the old
system for 18 years.
Dave understood our requirements and gave us a quote that
covered all the necessary items.
Installation was fast and very tidy. Everything works as
it should. Our thanks to Greg, Mitch and others for their
excellent work. Recommend this family owned business to
anyone else, considering HVAC or other work.
I needed a new furnace and A/C to replace my 21 yr. old units, and went to the internet to view potential companies in May, I received 3 quotes,
and chose Twintech based on their salesman Dave who was very detailed and covered off everything on what Twintech was all about,
an extremely dedicated company with so many years of experience, and after reading the on line reviews I was sold on Twintech, who did not disappoint as the installation team were top notch with Greg leading,
I would highly recommend this company without any doubts, in my books they are first class all the way. Our new Amana furnace and A/C are working perfectly !
Flawless transaction. They did exactly what they promised, showed-up on time, cleaned-up, and were highly professional. Highly recommended.
Salesperson and 2 man installation team were all professional and
knew their stuff. All three were friendly and helpful, answering all
my questions. The quality of their work demonstrated their experience
and expertise in their field.
A dear late cousin of mine recommended this company and I have been happy with the service.
We are very pleased with the work done by Twintech. They were very professional from start to finish. Dave came to our home and gave us a very competitive quote for new high efficiency furnace and air conditioner. The installers were very courteous and professional. We would highly recommend them.
Great experience getting an old furnace replaced.
Sales Guy (Dave) was great - honest, responsive, and friendly.
The work itself was done quickly and we are very happy with the outcome, thank you! We recommend TwinTech!
This review is late coming so my apologies to the amazing Twin Tech team! I contacted Dave at Twin Tech for a quote this past Feb (as I was collecting a few) and his recommendation was excellent. From the first meeting with Dave to the team installing the new furnace, not once did i feel uncomfortable . The team were extremely professional yet personable and clean and tidy. Decent companies still exist!
The new furnace just purrs and its just amazing the difference it has made!
(PS my sibling ended up getting a furnace from them as well)
The service was Twintech was excellent.
Dave our salesperson was easy to talk to and was professional. The unit recommended meets our needs and budget.
Greg and his team arrived on time for the installation and even got rid of the garbage the contractors left in our furnace.
Would definitely recommend Twintech.
