Although we may presume the air that we breathe indoors is healthy and clean, it is not always the case. In fact, the average indoor air quality of a commercial building is no cleaner than the air right outside its doors. This reason is just the first of all reasons why commercial establishments should be equipped with the right resources and technologies to deliver safe and healthy indoor air quality for staff, visitors, guests, clients, tenants, and anyone else who passes through their property.
An effective approach to maintaining premium indoor air quality within your commercial property is through routine cleaning, and to upgrade your commercial HVAC systems as new and innovative technologies are introduced to the market overtime. Not only is this important for the health and well-being of all those who pass through your property, but it plays a significant role in the overall success of your business.
Continue reading to learn the advantages behind air duct and vent cleaning services and how they help keep the indoor air quality at its highest.
Commercial Air Ventilation and Indoor Air Quality Control
Employees, visitors, and general public have a right to breathe air in a healthy atmosphere; and employers should want it that way. This is because polluted air leads to sore throats, illnesses, colds, allergies, headaches, fatigue, and higher employee downtime. To ensure a commercial building’s indoor environment is clean and safe, air duct and vent cleaning are mandatory.
If this task is not done on a regular basis, ducts and vents begin to accumulate mass amounts of dirt, dust, pollen, dead skin, dust mites, debris, and other contaminants. These materials circulate through the air and indoor spaces every time the heating and cooling unit turns on.
Health, Safety and Cost Control
Overall, a dirty air ventilation and duct system poses some serious potential obstacles for commercial building owners. For starters, businesses see frequent employee health complications that lead to increased sick days or staff non-productivity. Aside from illness, dirty ventilation can trigger severe allergies, which can make employees lethargic and unfocused, or worse, suffer severe allergic reactions.
Not only can this situation be detrimental to your bottom line, but more seriously, it could be dangerous for staffs that work in potential hazardous or careful environments (i.e., great heights, transportation, heavy machinery operators, childcare, etc.). Additionally, dirty air ducts and ventilation systems will cause businesses to waste energy, leading to higher building utility costs.
These reasons alone are convincing enough to motivate a commercial property owner to have their air systems cleaned on a regular basis, and periodically upgraded as new technologies are available. When it comes to health and safety of those you serve or employ, always be improving.
