Every time your furnace runs more things are sucked into your duct work. Things like\u00a0dust, pet hair, cooking grease, cigarette smoke, and other debris\u00a0that will stay in your duct work \u2013 until they eventually break down and are released back into the\u00a0air stream\u00a0for\u00a0you and your family to breathe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost homeowners simply have no idea of how much\u00a0dust, dirt, and debris\u00a0the\u00a0duct system\u00a0harbors, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ComfortInstitute\/?fref=ts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brendan Reid<\/a>, Founder of <a href=\"http:\/\/ciinfo.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Comfort Institute<\/a> and Senior Success Coach . Since the air ducts are out of sight they are often out of mind&#8221;. As a reminder, about\u00a050 percent\u00a0of household dust is from\u00a0dead skins cells\u00a0which we constantly are shedding.<\/p>\n<p>Sealing\u00a0your ductwork not only improves indoor air quality by\u00a0reducing dust and allergens, but can make you more\u00a0comfortable\u00a0in your home by\u00a0reducing\u00a0hot and cold spots, rooms, and floors in your house. We suggest using the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.barronheating.com\/Aeroseal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aeroseal<\/a> process, but other forms of duct sealing can be effective.<\/p>\n<p>A few\u00a0recommendations for breathing healthier air\u00a0in your home are sealing your duct work before you\u00a0purchase\u00a0a new heating and cooling system,\u00a0clean\u00a0your duct work every 3-5 years, and have a\u00a0good air filter\u00a0that you change according to manufacturer&#8217;s recommendations. This combination will help\u00a0reduce household dust\u00a0and keep the system running efficiently.<\/p>\n<p><script src=\"http:\/\/ajax.googleapis.com\/ajax\/libs\/jquery\/1.7.2\/jquery.min.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<style>\n#fanback {<br \/>display:none;<br \/>background:rgba(0,0,0,0.8);<br \/>width:100%;<br \/>height:100%;<br \/>position:fixed;<br \/>top:0;<br \/>left:0;<br \/>z-index:99999;<br \/>}<br \/>#fan-exit {<br \/>width:100%;<br \/>height:100%;<br \/>}<br \/>#JasperRoberts {<br \/>background:white;<br \/>width:420px;<br \/>height:270px;<br \/>position:absolute;<br \/>top:58%;<br \/>left:63%;<br \/>margin:-220px 0 0 -375px;<br \/>-webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 0 50px 0 #939393;<br \/>-moz-box-shadow: inset 0 0 50px 0 #939393;<br \/>box-shadow: inset 0 0 50px 0 #939393;<br \/>-webkit-border-radius: 5px;<br \/>-moz-border-radius: 5px;<br \/>border-radius: 5px;<br \/>margin: -220px 0 0 -375px;<br \/>}<br \/>#TheBlogWidgets {<br \/>float:right;<br \/>cursor:pointer;<br \/>background:url(http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-NRmqfyLwBHY\/T4nwHOrPSzI\/AAAAAAAAAdQ\/8b9O7O1q3c8\/s1600\/TheBlogWidgets.png) repeat;<br \/>height:15px;<br \/>padding:20px;<br \/>position:relative;<br \/>padding-right:40px;<br \/>margin-top:-20px;<br \/>margin-right:-22px;<br \/>}<br \/>.remove-borda {<br \/>height:1px;<br \/>width:366px;<br \/>margin:0 auto;<br \/>background:#F3F3F3;<br \/>margin-top:16px;<br \/>position:relative;<br \/>margin-left:20px;<br \/>}<br \/>#linkit,#linkit a.visited,#linkit a,#linkit a:hover {<br \/>color:#80808B;<br \/>font-size:10px;<br \/>margin: 0 auto 5px auto;<br \/>float:center;<br \/>}<br \/><\/style>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><br \/>\n\/\/<![CDATA[ jQuery.cookie = function (key, value, options) { \/\/ key and at least value given, set cookie... if (arguments.length > 1 && String(value) !== \"[object Object]\") {<br \/>\noptions = jQuery.extend({}, options);<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>if (value === null || value === undefined) {<br \/>\noptions.expires = -1;<br \/>\n}<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>if (typeof options.expires === 'number') {<br \/>\nvar days = options.expires, t = options.expires = new Date();<br \/>\nt.setDate(t.getDate() + days);<br \/>\n}<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>value = String(value);<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>return (document.cookie = [<br \/>\nencodeURIComponent(key), '=',<br \/>\noptions.raw ? value : encodeURIComponent(value),<br \/>\noptions.expires ?
