While I’ve regularly been conscientious about filter swings as well as seasonal repair for the gas furnace as well as air conditioner, I neglected the HVAC duct.
- Because the system is mainly concealed inside the walls, ceilings as well as crawl space, I never gave it a thought.
Over the years, dust as well as other contaminants gradually built up inside the pipes. This debris restricted airflow as well as made it more hard for the heating as well as cooling system to match the temperature control setting. The equipment needed to run longer, consumed more energy, as well as led to higher utility bills. Plus, whenever the gas furnace or air conditioner started up, those pollutants became airborne as well as were spread throughout the house. I noticed an excess of particles floating around in the air as well as celebration on surfaces. I needed to dust as well as vacuum a lot more often. My family complained of headaches, congestion as well as sore throat. My wonderful friend and I all coughed as well as sneezed frequently. When I googled our complaints, I realized that the duct system required cleaning. I found a local HVAC supplier that specializes in the process. They brought in equipment that looked a lot of care about, an industrial-sized vacuum cleaner with an entirely long hose as well as a brush attachment. While the repair was fairly fancy, it was completed suddenly as well as caused no mess or injure. It also gave a large improvement. The gas furnace as well as air conditioner are now able to maintain ideal as well as consistent indoor temperature. I’m spending a lot less on temperature control. I’m hopeful that the shortened run times will reduce wear as well as tear on the gas furnace as well as air conditioner, as well as add up to greater reliability as well as longevity.
