The simple question “What Do You Breathe?” is becoming more important. Everyday there is more evidence of the damaging effects of poor indoor air quality. The indoor air quality of your facility is likely in questions if you have not taken specific steps to prevent a situation.
Even though you change your filters on a regular basis, over time dirt and dust build up inside your duct work. Your air distribution system then moves the dirt and dust throughout your entire building.
Looking at Photo 1 you can see there is dust and dirt upstream from the air filter. Take a look at some of the studies that show the benefits of a well designed maintenance agreement that includes indoor air quality.
Benefits:
- Increased Productivity
- Decreased Energy Use
- Increased Attendance
- Decreased Turnover
Correction Plan
Along with a Preventive Maintenance program you should give strong consideration to a recurring Mechanical Hygiene program. A Mechanical hygiene program will keep your equipment from looking like the one in Photo 1 and more like the one in Photo 2.
Your best option is to find a company like CMC Corporate Solutions that can provide both the Preventive Maintenance and the Mechanical Hygiene program. A company able to perform both of these would be in a better position to save you time and money.
