The Correlation Between Cigarette Smoke And Air Duct Cleaning

The Correlation Between Cigarette Smoke And Air Duct Cleaning

While you’ve heard that smoking is unhealthy, you may not know that cigarette smoke and HVAC systems are a dangerous duo. Whether you live in a house, apartment, or condo, tobacco smoke affects your home. Today, the team at Superior Air Duct Cleaning explains the correlation between cigarette smoke and air ducts. Also, if you’re quitting cigarettes, learn how air duct cleaning can help you.

Health Issues From Cigarette Smoke In Air Ducts

Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) is a mixture of smoke from the burning end of a cigarette and smoke that the smoker exhales. It’s often referred to as “secondhand smoke,” and many ETS compounds can cause lung cancer. As tobacco smoke travels throughout your home, it migrates through your air ducts. Then, your HVAC system distributes ETS to every room. If you notice yellow stains on the walls and brownish residue on your curtains, these are warning signs that ETS is building up in your ductwork.

Continuous re-circulation of ETS leaves a sticky residue in your air ducts and also causes you to inhale secondhand smoke throughout the day. The pros at Superior Air Duct Cleaning are ready to help. After thoroughly cleaning your ductwork, our sanitizing and deodorizing service utilizes a special antimicrobial treatment that sanitizes your system and eliminates bad odors. The sanitizer will help destroy any remaining contaminants.

How Air Ducts Cause Cigarette Smoke To Spread

In an apartment or condo, there is a risk of third-hand smoke from a neighbor. With interconnected air vents, the residual fumes spread from one unit to another.Residual smoke chemicals linger in the air and remain on furniture surfaces for a long time. Despite efforts to clean and vacuum your home regularly, some chemicals stagger in unreachable areas of the air vents. Each time you turn on the heat or AC, the air blows the compounds back into the inner parts.

How Air Duct Cleaning Can Help

If you’re a smoker, or you’ve just bought a home, and the former owners smoked, it’s best to schedule an air duct cleaning. Having a clean HVAC system not only improves your indoor air quality but can also help you quit smoking. When you turn the AC on, you’re essentially smelling the smokey odor, which kicks the nicotine craving back into gear. But if your air ducts are clean, you won’t smell it and want a cigarette immediately. Take care of your lungs and your HVAC system today and call the pros at Superior Air Duct Cleaning.

Robert was on schedule and communicated what time he would arrive. He was polite, professional, and respectful of our home. I wanted to wait a couple weeks before posting a review because I wanted to see if the duct cleaning actually made a difference. I am happy to say it did! I vacuum multiple times a week and have already noticed a significant reduction in the amount of dust cleaned up each time. As a home with pets, there will always be something to clean, but getting the ducts cleaned has definitely helped improve the air quality and reduce the dust.

Technician Rob arrived early explained the days agenda and then proceeded to work methodically and meticulously over the next 6+ hours cleaning my ductwork.  Courteous and professional they answered all of my questions and went above and beyond the call of duty.  They even located an old dusty box of rat poison buried in our vents.  My only regret is not finding these guys sooner.  As a realtor of 22 years and owner of a newly purchased (now dust free) home I highly recommended!

Excellent service! I’ve used them to clean out my air ducts as well as my dryer vent duct and they are excellent. I was very pleased with both jobs and will continue to use them in the future. Great communication as well- from the time I scheduled the appointment until they were at my door.
