AQB AIR: You are what you breathe!



and we can completely control our indoor environment while we work on controlling our outdoor environment.

It is important to control our indoor environment. AC and Air Conditioning are more than just controlling the temperature. Thorough, periodic, regular duct cleaning to remove bio-Hazards and other contaminants are also essential elements of Air Conditioning and AC services, that will assure Health, Safe, Fresh, clean air for you and your family.
Indoor air pollution is a significant hazard in a modern home.  





From the EPA on the  effects of indoor air pollution
Immediate effects may show up after a single exposure or repeated exposures. These include irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, headaches, dizziness, and fatigue. Such immediate effects are usually short-term and treatable. Sometimes the treatment is simply eliminating the person's exposure to the source of the pollution, if it can be identified. Symptoms of some diseases, including asthma, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and humidifier fever (PDF), may also show up soon after exposure to some indoor air pollutants.

As can be seen many ailments can be traced to the effects of indoor pollution. 

Indeed, studies of human exposure to air pollutants by EPA indicate that indoor levels of pollutants may be 2 to 5 times – and occasionally more than 100 times – higher than outdoor pollutant levels. Indoor air pollutants have been ranked among the top five environmental risks to public health. The problems they cause can be subtle and do not always produce easily recognized or immediate impacts on health.






So, how do we control indoor air pollution? Regular cleaning of the air ducts is essential. AQB Heating and Cooling in Canoga Par, Ca. specializes in cleaning ventilation systems.


AQB has been a primer hearing and cooling provider in the southern California area for over 20 years providing excellent service and thre most reasonable price.

 AQB AIR uses the reverse HEPA filtration system to completely and thoroughly clean the air ducts. This is a state of the art method. It is the most effective way to clean air ducts of any type without damaging them.

AQB's certified technicians attache the HEPA filtration system to the large vent on the main trunk line, usually the one closer to the furnace.   The technicians then adjust the remaining vents until all of the dirt dust pollen are removed from the main trunk line and all the tributary ducts in the system. The dirt dust grim pollen etc., is similar to what one would find in a vacuum cleaner bag but multiplied by the square footage of the home.  This mess is removed including any dust mites is removed from the home's ventilation system where family and friends can breath it and placed in environmentally safe containers and properly disposed of.  By the way the dust mite is a leading cause of asthma and other breathing disorders, and about 42,000 of them dwell in each once of dust found in the air ducts.





 Once the contaminants are removed from the ventilation system and disposed of, the technicians will blow fresh air through the dual HEPA filters thus filling the ventilation system, and the living space with healthy, safe, fresh, clean air to breath.  This should be good for 6 months, but I like to have it done every month to insure indoor pollution is under control. Besides I don't like the looks of those dust mites let alone the thought of them doing what dust mites do in my lungs.








We are what we breath, and we can completely control our indoor environment while we work on controlling our outdoor environment.
