Spring cleaning in commercial spaces should extend beyond the obvious, including addressing poor indoor air quality. Learn more about the effects of winter on indoor air and how commercial HVAC cleaning can help.
How Winter Affects Indoor Air Quality
In locations where heat runs all winter, ducts can quickly become coated in dust buildup. With doors and windows closed against the cold, indoor air gets recirculated through these ducts continuously. As the winter presses on, pollution levels build up to potentially dangerous levels. Therefore, employees and clients are exposed to this contaminated air.
Indoor Air Contaminants
Dust is not the only potential hazard in your HVAC system. Pollen, mold, allergens and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) may all linger inside the ductwork.
Pollen and general allergens can cause irritation and potentially lead to increased employee absenteeism. Mold and VOCs are serious concerns that require professional attention. Repeated exposure to them may cause serious health complications.
How To Improve Indoor Air Quality in Commercial Buildings After Winter
One of the most effective ways to improve indoor air quality in commercial buildings is to schedule a commercial HVAC cleaning service. A comprehensive service is more than just cleaning the ducts. It also includes services such as assessing the condition of ducts, changing filters and ensuring the HVAC system is operating as efficiently as possible.
Cotton Global Disaster Solutions technicians use state-of-the-art equipment to inspect, clean and service commercial HVAC systems for commercial air quality improvement. We work with you to reduce downtime and avoid business interruptions.
In addition to routine cleaning, we can help eliminate potentially hazardous materials in your HVAC system. Our environmental remediation services include the removal of mold, lead, asbestos and other hazardous materials. Our services can improve indoor air quality in industrial plants, power generation facilities, retail stores, government offices, healthcare facilities and more.
Increasing ventilation is another approach to improving indoor air quality. You can recognize poor ventilation in commercial spaces by moldy areas, excess condensation and unusual odors coming from heating and cooling equipment. Additionally, excessive dryness causes irritation and can exacerbate discomfort, so addressing low humidity levels also improves commercial air quality.
