Mold Testing Long Island
When you turn on your air conditioning for the first time in the summer, is it really just cool air you are exposing your family to? Do you or a family member often complain that ‘leaving the air conditioning on’ makes him or her feel sick at night? More often than not, after leaving your HVAC system unused during the pleasant spring months, mold spores have had time to gather in your air ducts as have mildew and bacteria. These microbial pollutants feed of the high to low alternating humidity conditions of Long Island throughout the year, and even across individual weather fronts—which is why Long Island air duct cleaning is so important.
When you flick on the AC for the first time this summer, you could unwittingly be dispersing spores throughout your entire home. These airborne particles will spread and continue to grow wherever they land, including inside your lungs. This thought is extremely unpleasant, but the effects are far worse should mold become a problem. Many people experience health problems in the summer ranging from allergy-like symptoms to migraines, watery eyes, skin conditions, and nausea, which could easily be avoided with a simple Long Island air duct cleaning.
How Can I Tell if My Air Conditioning Is Safe?
The only way to determine if your air conditioning is safe to use this season is with Long Island mold testing done by a qualified professional. At Moldbusters of Long Island, the experienced technicians use samples and laboratory testing to determine whether or not the condition of your air is safe. Many families choose to wait until they have already spent money on expensive medical testing, ineffective cleaning supplies, and allergy testing before they turn to mold remediation. Why not save the time and money, and choose regular seasonal Long Island air duct cleaning? Even in the name of hygiene, air duct cleaning at the start of every summer season is a wonderful idea.
Another factor to consider, especially for families with school-aged children, is that your kids and their smaller, more susceptible lungs are home during the summer season when the air conditioning is on. Whereas in the winter the kids spend less time at home, in the summer any type of contamination could affect them even more. This kind of exposure could take years to build up, and could potentially affect your children for their entire lifetimes—long-term damage can even be irreversible, causing them to be life-long allergy sufferers.
