Has this ever happened to you? You go to a storage space, like an attic or basement, to retrieve something you haven’t needed in a while. As you enter the room, you see a thick layer of dust covering everything. Then when you pick up the box with the needed item, the dust is distributed into the air, and you breathe it in. Suddenly you begin to sneeze and cough, and your eyes become itchy.
Our bodies are designed to protect us from foreign substances like dust, dirt, and debris. For example, your nasal cavity is like your body’s air filter. As you breathe in through your nose, the tiny hairs and mucus in your nasal cavity traps dust, bacteria, and pollutants just like your HVAC system’s air filter does. But when this system is overloaded with dust, debris, and particles, the body triggers an alert to clear it out. Unfortunately, this alert causes you to sneeze and cough, expelling the dirt and debris collected in your body, which is why you start to sneeze and cough when you pick up a big dusty box!
Your HVAC system works a lot like your nasal system. It brings air into the building, and the HVAC filters trap dust, debris, and pollutants mixed in the air. But unlike your body, your HVAC system doesn’t get an alert when there is too much dust and dirt in the air. This is because there’s no sneezing mechanism in your HVAC system to push out the dirt. So, what happens instead?
When your HVAC system and air filters get overloaded with dirt, dust, and particles, everything starts to build up. Your air filter begins to clog with everything, and the air that’s still pushed through the filter doesn’t get cleaned. If you leave it long enough, the dirt and debris buildup in your air filters and HVAC ducts will actually circulate throughout your system, making your air dirtier than it should be.
