Many Indoor-Air-Quality issues arise from the way buildings are ventilated. Poor maintenance of HVAC systems can lead to a build up of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s) in the filter and ducting. This can result in you pumping contaminants into all areas of the building, cross contaminating from unsafe zones into clean spaces.

Ensuring proper ventilation is available is vital to creating safe Indoor environments. Mould, Bacteria, Diseases and More can colonise the dust in your AC system and use it as a food source in which to grow.

During a fire and while the air is still smokey, your Air conditioner will likely suck up many of the airborne contaminants and pump them into your home.

This is particularly concerning in areas where the fire is residential as many building materials contain toxic chemicals that are released with heat.
