Can Dirty Ducts Make Allergies Worse?

Yes — dirty ducts can make allergy symptoms worse for some people. When dust, pet dander and pollen build up in your ductwork, your furnace circulates them through the house every time it runs. Duct cleaning can help reduce those airborne triggers, though it isn't a cure for allergies, and we won't pretend otherwise. This video reads the full article, then goes one step further: the three jobs that actually make a difference to the air in your home, and which one each piece of equipment is really doing.

THE THREE JOBS 1. SOURCE REMOVAL — a duct cleaning takes the reservoir of dust, dander and pollen out of the system. You can't filter your way out of a problem you can remove. 2. A GOOD FILTER — once the system is clean, the filter is what stops particles settling back in. Change it on schedule; a loaded filter stops helping. 3. AIR PURIFICATION — the Sanuvox R1R is a compact, Canadian-made in-duct ultraviolet purifier that treats the air every time your system runs. AND THE HONEST PART Ultraviolet light works on biological contaminants — the bacteria, viruses and mould spores that ordinary filters miss. It does NOT trap particles. So for dust, dander and pollen, the cleaning and the filter are doing that work. The R1R is a layer on top, not a replacement. It pairs naturally with a duct cleaning: clean the ducts first, then keep the air treated going forward. We're a duct cleaning company, not a medical provider. If you or someone in your home has significant allergies or asthma, it's worth speaking with a doctor about a full approach. Read the full article: https://homeprosgroup.com/can-dirty-d...
