Last summer, the weather was unusually tepid and humid, however we had hot and cold temperatures in the triple digits, and the beach house continually felt overheated and sticky… No matter how low I adjusted the thermostat, the just couldn’t keep up, and the cooling system seemed to be running all the time and my electric bills were super high, however every time the started up, there was a musty stink in the beach house and my whole family complained of headaches! I finally tied up an appointment for repair.
The Heating, Ventilation, and A/C professional took the apart, cleaned the inner laborings and made some adjustments… He also took to the time to test the duct system and found a whole bunch of troubles.
There was a buildup of contaminants within the system and small leaks at the seams. He explained that the complications with the ducts were responsible for all of my complaints with the He proposed duct sealing and cleaning services. I figured these procedures would be messy, fancy and time consuming. I was surprised when he’d completed them within a couple of minutes. He used a device that looked love an oversize vacuum cleaner to handle the duct cleaning process… A hose with a brush attachment inserted into the ducks to scrub away stubborn contaminants and suck them up. He found dust, dander, bugs, webs, mold growth and even a decomposing rodent inside of the HVAC duct. Every time the started up, the air was passing through the ducts, picking up these harmful toxins and spreading them throughout the home.
