What Thousands of Florida Homeowners Are Finding Inside Their Home Air Systems Is Disturbing
Fine-particle air pollution is associated with an estimated 200,000 premature deaths in the United States every year. But most families have never checked the hidden system circulating air throughout their own home.
Now, Florida homeowners can take a 30-second risk check and request a free in-home air-system inspection.
You clean your floors, furniture and countertops. But when was the last time someone looked inside the systems that move air throughout your home?
Over time, air ducts and HVAC components may collect dust, pollen, pet hair and other debris. Moisture problems may also create conditions that support biological growth, while dryer vents can accumulate highly restrictive lint buildup.
These areas are largely hidden from view, which means many homeowners have no idea what is inside until a technician opens the system and shows them.
Why indoor-air concerns deserve attention
According to the latest CDC figures, approximately 27.8 million Americans currently have asthma, including around 4.8 million children.
The EPA identifies mold, dust mites, pollen, pet allergens and pests such as mice and cockroaches as indoor contaminants that may trigger asthma symptoms or allergic reactions in susceptible people. Possible symptoms can include coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, breathing difficulty, nasal inflammation and headaches.
A widely cited study also estimated that approximately 4.6 million U.S. asthma cases at the time were attributable to dampness and mold exposure in homes. That estimate relates to overall household dampness and mold, not specifically to air ducts, but it demonstrates why moisture-related warning signs should not be ignored.
We’ve helped more than 75,382 Florida households inspect their home air systems and uncover what may have been hiding inside.
Florida homeowners may now qualify for a free in-home inspection.
Answer one quick question to check your eligibility: Would you like a free professional inspection for your Florida home or property?
“Most homeowners simply haven’t seen the inside”
“We’ve inspected more than 75,000 homes across the country, and some of what we’ve found has been truly disturbing. Families were living with years of hidden dust, debris, pest contamination, and moisture inside the very systems circulating air through their homes, and they had no idea. That’s why we started offering free inspections. We want to help American families breathe cleaner air and understand what could be hiding just out of sight. When homeowners finally see the photos, the reaction is almost always the same: complete shock.”
