Allergies and Mold: A Common Complaint Around The Office

With Long Island’s weather changing, it seems like everyone is complaining about mold. It is one of the most common complaints about every HVAC system. There are so many moist places this system creates. It is prime for mold to set claim and build a home. Once mold sets in, you start to see people getting sick. As the HVAC system runs, it starts to spread throughout the building like wildfire.

It’s a common complaint in the office because it always exists. When you have a more humid environment you are prone to more mold and if the environment is drier there will be less mold. Remember, mold loves a humid environment. The problem is you will never completely get rid of it. The good news is you can control it. Take away the moisture and the food and start to see less mold and eventually none.  Do not think if you get rid of the moisture and food it is all good. The U.S. EPA advises you to do an inspection of your HVAC system on a routine basis. However, they do not say only look for mold. Since mold grows in moist environments, they advise you to look for moisture.

During your inspection, you want to pay attention to areas that may cause the most moisture.  You want to look through the ducts and each of the components of your HVAC system.  Mold is common to grow inside your air ducts, vents, and HVAC unit.

These areas are a good place to start. Although, you may still get complaints, it’s best to stay on top of this danger by thorough inspection by a professional company like IAC-Indoor Air Care.  Since 1989 we’ve been protecting the air we breathe with quality air duct cleaning, HVAC cleaning, and mold removal services.  Locally owned, we serve Long Island, the Hamptons, and New York City.  Call now for your free estimate.

When Was Your Last Indoor Air Quality Test?

IAC-Indoor Air Care provides professional air quality testing

Indoor Environment Quality (IEQ) is a key indicator for any residential or commercial building’s health.  It’s necessary for homeowners and businesses to get regular air quality testing

Ambient: It was best said by the Arizona Republic, “The air in your home should be as good as the outside air. If you cannot handle the air outside, you should move.” How true is that? When the air is changed inside, it is replaced by the good outside air.  Many people think that HVAC filters will improve the air quality indoors. The truth is they do not directly improve the air quality. The HVAC system is made to regulate and modify the temperature. This is how it improves air quality. It is through an indirect method.

Comfortable: You can not please everyone. It is impossible. However, you should please about 80% of those in the building. Three main things to look at will be through relative humidity, odor, and temperature.

Compliant: It is important to understand the industry doctrine and not to violate it for a good IEQ. Be familiar with the laws, standards, and guidelines.

Safety: It is important to keep the building safe from all the contaminants. You do not want to have your occupants get sick or injured due to not following the proper procedures to maintain a safe environment.

When it comes to IEQ, stop being zero and become a hero bringing your building back to five-star quality.  Call IAC-Indoor Air Care for your next air quality testing, air duct cleaning, HVAC cleaning, and mold removal.

The Ducts are Full of Dangers: IAC is Tri-State and Long Island’s professional air care provider

Look out, there is danger lurking in the ducts and you may not even know it!  Poor air quality, mold, and mildew is serious for commercial and residential buildings.  It affects your home, business, clients, employees, and yourself. Health, productivity, and expenses are all affected by harmful HVAC and air duct systems. Mold remediation is covered by several institutions and professionals who are subject matters in everything mold.  I am not an expert, but I do have experience in mold and know the importance of keeping your HVAC Ducts clean and free of mold.

An HVAC system is designed to get rid of the dirt that is harmful and replace it with good clean air.  It does not matter if it is cool or hot air, it is important that everyone is getting clean air. Would you want to live and work in a building that always smells like mold, damp, miserable?  This is what you will feel if the ducts are not clean. Based on what the room or building is used for, most building codes state that they are in the rooms are cleaned from the old air and exchanged with the good air about five to 15 times every hour.  When your HVAC system is clean, the air inside is improved every time it is exchanged for new air. The air quality indoors is reduced with each exchange when the HVAC system is not cleaned properly and has mold, allergens, soot, mildew, or any other contaminants.

Through a proper cleaning of the HVAC air ducts, it will reduce the issues of the majority of contaminants in the HVAC system.  Sometimes, it may remove the chances of any recontaminations completely. Many times, when a building is being cleaned of contaminants, it is overlooked that the HVAC system is still running.  That means, as the air is being exchanged, all those contaminants or being moved around by the moving air. Which means, it is not cleaned from the contaminants. Instead, they are relocated through the ducts.  IAC Pros ensures the building’s HVAC systems and air ducts are completely clean of the harmful air and mold before leaving, which is why for over 30 years the Tri-State and Long Island’s commercial building owners and residential owners have trusted them for their air care.

Commercial Vent and Duct Cleaning for Long Island Office Building

The Prevention and Remediation of Poor Air and Mold Inside HVAC and Air Ducts

When you have a building that has poor humidity control mold and poor air quality becomes an issue for your HVAC and air ducts.  The recommendation from the Us Environmental Protection Agency is for professional remediation if any sign of mold, mildew, odor, or pollution is seen.  Mold in commercial and residential air ducts can produce a musty odor that is very unpleasant and harmful. This is a serious issue as it can cost a lot of money to commercial building owners and homeowners.

The only real solution for a mold infestation is to control the humidity in the building.  It is recommended by ASHRAE to keep the humidity below 60%. If it is not controlled, mold spores will easily grow back.  They are nearly impossible to eliminate. Mold is very resilient.

Knowing that mold is almost impossible to get rid of and creates a lot of damage to the building, your health and productivity, it needs urgent attention when it affects the HVAC installation.  In most environments, it can spread like wildfire when it is left with no attention. IAC Professionals has protected the Tri-State and Long Island businesses and homes from these harmful conditions inside their air ducts for over 30 years.

What is the importance of a good HVAC inspection and air care maintenance company?

When mold starts to attack the components of the HVAC such as the air handlers and duct work, it becomes very challenging to fix the infestation.  The first question you should be asking, “Is there a mold infestation in my air ducts and vents?” This seems like an easy question to answer. Although, it is not as the accumulation of dirt can seem like a mold infestation at times.  That means the first step that must be taken is to ensure there is a mold issue through a mold test and an adequate inspection. IAC visits your building or home, inspects every inch of the air ducts to create an effective strategy to clean the air.  

Once there has been a determination a mold issue exists, it is time to make some decisions.  What components that are affected can be cleaned? What components will need to be replaced and discarded?  IAC offers business owners and homeowners each solution needed to fix the poor air quality.  

For example, IAC took on a recent job in the Hampton’s on Eastern Long Island.  The fiberglass of the building’s duct work was infected by mold and needed to be replaced asap.  IAC took the call, inspected the system and removed the moldy poor air from the entire building. On the other hand, the non-porous components and metallic ducts were not affected as much, IAC simply cleaned these parts to keep it protected.  

IAC Pros is Tri-State and Long Island’s trusted air care provider for HVAC and air duct systems

There will always be an issue with poor air quality, mold and mildew, especially throughout Long Island where humidity is high.  Poor air quality and mold spores can easily spread in the air.
