I never gave much thought to the importance of the ductwork until recently.
While I was conscientious about filter changes plus scheduling repair for the furnace plus air conditioner unit, I failed to consider the importance of the duct system.
The concealed network of pipes delivers heated plus cooled air to the several rooms of the apartment plus returns the stale air back to the furnace plus air conditioner unit. The integrity of the ductwork directly affects comfort plus indoor air quality; Keeping the ductwork clean optimizes the efficiency, capacity plus reliability of the heating plus cooling equipment. When I noticed a musty odor plus an unproper amount of dust circulating throughout the house, I realized that there were some complications with system performance. During the winter, it was necessary to raise the thermostat setting several times. The furnace ran just about non stop plus yet the apartment was never quite comfortable. Plus, there was a significant difference in the temperature from one room to another. I researched my complaints plus learned that the cause was most likely a buildup of contaminants inside the ductwork. I started calling the several Heating as well as A/C corporations in the local area to find one that included ductwork services. Ductwork testing, cleaning plus sealing require specialized training, tools plus technology. The corporation I chose gave a thorough diagnostic of the ductworks plus found an accumulation of dust, dander, bugs, webs, construction debris, mold growth plus even a decomposing rodent. Whenever the furnace or air conditioner device started up, those allergens were becoming airborne plus getting spread into my family’s breathing air. Fortunately, the duct cleaning process fixed the complications.
