Q: Why does my whole house smell like cat pee?

• <div><p>Cat pee has a strong ammonia-like smell, so if you smell cat pee but don&rsquo;t have a cat or don&rsquo;t suspect your cat has any accidents, there could be other issues at hand. Aside from pet urine, your house may smell like cat pee from leaking freon from an old fridge, mold, spilled cleaning supplies, or even outside odors from nearby farms. </p></div>

Q: How can you avoid overworking your HVAC system?

• <div><p>Turn your system off when you're toasty or when you're out to prevent unnecessary wear. Using the timer on your thermostat so that it switches off when it reaches a certain temperature or turns on just before you get back from work is best. An annual maintenance contract can be helpful to ensure your system receives these important services at regular intervals.</p></div>

Q: Do scorpions come through AC vents?

• <div><p>Yes, unfortunately, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-scorpions-come-through-air-vents.htm">scorpions do come up through air vents</a> on occasion if they&rsquo;re not properly sealed. These pests are excellent at finding small openings and may use vents as a pathway to cooler areas inside, especially during hot weather. To prevent this, inspect your vents, seal any gaps, and install fine mesh screens where necessary.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between an air vent and an air duct?

• <div><p>An air duct is a metal tube that carries air from a central furnace or AC unit to different rooms in the home. A home&rsquo;s ductwork is essential to a forced-air HVAC system. An air vent is the opening in a room where the heated or cooled air blows in. Air ducts and air vents work together with your HVAC unit to keep your home at a comfortable temperature year-round. </p></div>
