Keeping Our Air Clean   By: Lena Tleib (Operations Assistant)

As individuals, businesses and schools prepare for the winter, the Mosque Foundation’s staff is working hard to ensure the cleanliness of the mosque.  We thoroughly clean and disinfect restrooms, water fountains, prayer areas, floors, shoe shelves, and hand railings daily.  The staff works hard to minimize the spread of germs during the flu season to protect the worshippers who attend the Mosque Foundation’s programs and prayers. 

Recently, we had the air ducts and vents cleaned, a process which took 8 hours to complete.  Cleaning the air ducts and vents is recommended every 3-5 years. 

What are the health benefits that come from a HVAC System cleaning?

Research has indicated that heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems act as a contaminant collection source. These contaminants include fungi, bacteria, dust particles, allergens, and other materials. Expert technicians will remove all of the contaminants from the HVAC system, bringing you one step closer to improved Indoor Air Quality.

Will HVAC System Cleaning reduce our energy bill?

Research by the U.S. EPA has demonstrated that HVAC system cleaning may allow systems to run more efficiently by removing debris from sensitive mechanical components. Clean, efficient systems are less likely to break down, have a longer life span, and generally operate more effectively than dirty systems.

Total ventilation system cleaning should help our system to operate at its maximum efficiency. As components of the HVAC system become caked with dirt and debris, they may take longer to reach the set temperature on the thermostat, costing hundreds of dollars on the heating and cooling bills. Our air duct cleaning service will clear these parts of contaminants and help to prevent their accumulation in the future. To maintain an acceptable indoor air quality environment, cleaning and maintenance of buildings and ventilation systems is vital in minimizing the spread of allergens.
