Arlington's Golden Air Conditioning Educates Homeowners on Hidden Pollutants Circulating Through Residential Ductwork

Indoor air can contain two to five times more pollutants than outdoor air, creating persistent health concerns for families

ARLINGTON, TX - Most Arlington homeowners assume the air inside their home is cleaner than the air outside. Research from the Environmental Protection Agency suggests otherwise. Indoor air can contain 2 to 5 times more pollutants than outdoor air, and in some cases, concentrations can reach 100 times those of outdoor levels.

Dust, pet dander, pollen, mold spores, and other allergens accumulate inside residential ductwork over time. Every time the HVAC system cycles, these particulates recirculate throughout the living space. For the estimated 400,000 residents of Arlington, Texas, where homes remain sealed against extreme summer heat for months at a time, this accumulation presents a persistent indoor air quality concern.

"What surprises most homeowners is learning that their air ducts act like the respiratory system of their home," said Janie Herzog, Owner of Golden Air Conditioning. "When that system is clogged with years of dust, allergens, and debris, every room in the house receives that contaminated air. Families dealing with unexplained allergy symptoms, excessive dust on furniture, or musty odors often trace the problem back to ductwork that hasn't been professionally cleaned."

Common Pollutants Found in Residential Ductwork

Professional duct inspections in Arlington-area homes commonly reveal:

Dust and particulate matter - Fine particles that bypass standard filters and settle throughout the duct system
Allergens - Pollen, pet dander, and dust mite debris that trigger respiratory responses
Mold and mildew - Particularly in humid conditions or following water intrusion events
Construction debris - Drywall dust, sawdust, and insulation fragments from original construction or renovations
The accumulation rate varies based on factors including home age, occupancy patterns, pet ownership, and filter maintenance habits. Homes with residents who suffer from asthma, allergies, or other respiratory conditions may notice symptoms intensifying as duct contamination increases.

Why Arlington Homes Face Elevated Risk

The Arlington climate creates conditions that accelerate indoor air quality degradation. Extended cooling seasons mean HVAC systems run continuously for months, cycling air through ductwork repeatedly. Homes built during the region's rapid growth may contain original ductwork that has never been professionally cleaned.

Additionally, the transition between heating and cooling seasons introduces temperature and humidity fluctuations that can promote biological growth within duct systems.

Recognizing Warning Signs

Homeowners should consider a professional duct evaluation when they observe visible dust accumulation around supply registers, inconsistent airflow between rooms, musty or stale odors when the system operates, or increased allergy symptoms among household members.
