How to Keep Mold Out of Your Workplace HVAC System
Mold is a dreaded contaminant for home and business alike. Just the hint of mold in your HVAC system probably makes you nervous. Clean up requires skilled professionals and it can cost a lot to make sure every last bit is gone. Instead of facing that situation, you can take preventative steps to keep mold out of your HVAC and out of the air you and your employees breathe. Rely on Professional HVAC Installation and Maintenance If an HVAC system is not installed well, if corners are cut, you could be facing a situation in which mold-growth is inevitable. Poor installation can mean leaks and misuse of insulation and sealants to keep moisture out of the system. The equipment that gets installed can also be a source of mold, so be sure a professional is taking care of your installation and inspects every piece before it goes in. Keep an Eye on Ducts No matter where the mold may be growing within your HVAC system, it is the ducts that spread it around and make your workplace dangerous for you and your workers. It’s important to check the ducts and vents regularly to be sure there is no mold growth.
