Rampant Mold Growth
Every HVAC unit needs to be cleaned out regularly. Without that
preventative care, they will be less energy efficient, and you won’t see
an improvement in your indoor air quality. However, another problem that
you might not notice at first is when there is too much mold growing on
your air ducts. Condensation buildup on air conditioners and furnaces
alike can cause mold to start growing, but if you leave it alone and don’t
do anything about it, then the mold will continue to multiply. HVAC
technicians can point out the mold to you, but chances are, they might not
be able to narrow down what type of mold it is. In these cases, you will
need to call in
indoor air quality
specialists or duct cleaning experts that can address the problem for you
without too much trouble.
Recent Renovations
If you are planning on renovating your home this spring, then there are
some factors you will want to keep in mind. For one thing, there will
still be plenty of dust left behind, even as careful as your contractors
are. More dirt and dust will get into the HVAC system and ductwork if the
system isn’t kept off during the process, and with changing temperatures
through the day, you never know when you will need to adjust the
conditions
inside, or the unit could kick on by itself. Either way, you will need
duct cleaning.
Excessive Dust
If you notice that there is far too much dust inside your home, then
something could be wrong with your HVAC. This means that you will need
duct cleaning even more urgently now than you did before. For this to make
a difference, you will need to inspect the supply and return ducts found
throughout your house. If the metal of the duct is choked with dust, then
you will need to get it cleaned as soon as possible.
