The holiday season is a time for fun and connection with family and friends, and many people do a lot of entertaining around this time of year. When you know that you are going to have company and even some unexpected guests that may drop in, you generally make an extra effort to keep your home clean and tidy. You tend to details and make sure that everything is just right…but there are things that you may not readily see that can have a negative impact on you and your guests.

Unfortunately, dust tends to gather in your home, especially when the windows are shut and you are nestled in for the chilly winter months. Everything that has settled in the nooks and crannies of your home is being constantly circulated around, and your family and friends are breathing this particulate matter. The typical home has a number of different pollutants in the air ducts that gets blown into the environment. Mold, dust (and dust mites), dirt, bacteria, decomposing vermin, pest droppings, and other microbial particulates become part of the air that you are breathing, and these airborne intruders are especially hard on children.

Dirty air ducts result in an unpleasant environment for everyone, but they are especially harmful to people who suffer from asthma and certain types of allergies. So even if nobody in your family seems to be showing any symptoms of a reaction to the quality of your indoor air, guests who may to vulnerable to these allergens could well be affected. The last thing you want to see around the holidays is a friend or family member having an asthma attack or an allergic reaction due to the air that they are breathing in your home.

The colder months are also a time when there are viruses going around, and the cleaner your home is the better. Everyone should have their air ducts cleaned regularly, and the holiday season is a perfect time to schedule a duct cleaning. You ensure the health of your family and guests, and you start the new year off on the right foot with fresh, clean air ducts and vents. Besides, if you don’t have a chimney…how do you think Santa gets in?
