Things Getting Stuffy in Your House This Winter?

By now, everyone in your family has a terminal case of "cabin fever". It's been a tenacious winter so far this year, and Torontonians have been hunkered down at home for almost 2 months. If you've been feeling "blah", tired or drained lately, it might not be just the winter blues. Spending extended periods of time indoors is most likely the culprit for a case of the sniffles or worse. Recycled air can be full of germs, dirt, dust and debris; the potential for getting sick is even greater indoors than outside in the cold weather. Keeping your ducts clean in the winter is as important as it is when it's warm out. Certain heating systems with humidifiers attached to them need special attention because in addition to warming up the air, they circulate moisture as well, to counteract the dryness associated with indoor heat. Moist, warm air is a notorious breeding ground for bacteria, so it's important to keep your ducts clean, even when it's cold out.

Canaduct knows their way around duct cleaning in Toronto. Regardless of the season, your ducts need to be clean in order for your family to stay healthy. You never know what's lurking in your air ducts or your HVAC system, so it's best to have them checked at least twice a year. During the colder months, too much time spent indoors is as likely to get you sick as too much time spent outdoors. Flu season has been especially severe this year, and keeping your air ducts clean is part of a sensible plan to avoid getting sick. Your home may also benefit by supplementing your regular duct cleaning with a portable air purifier during the winter. When one member of the family gets sick, the surest way to stop it from spreading is to run an air purifier to ensure any bacteria and germs are removed from the air as quickly as possible.
