Why does my furnace filter get dirty so fast?

• <div><p>There are several reasons why your furnace filter might get dirty quickly. For example, if you run your furnace often, more air—and therefore, more contaminants—will flow through the system and clog your filter. Having pets is another reason that your filter accumulates dirt quickly. Also, thinner filters will get dirty faster than thicker ones.</p></div>

Q: Can mold be cleaned out of HVAC?

• <div><p>Finding mold in an HVAC system is never fun, but the good news is you can clean it and send those spores packing. That being said, hiring a helping hand may be necessary to fully remove the mold and prevent regrowth. Professionals use specialized tools and cleaners, such as antimicrobial solutions and HEPA vacuums, to safely remove mold from ducts, coils, and other components. For small amounts of mold, homeowners can clean visible areas using a mix of water and detergent, but they must wear protective gear and avoid spreading spores.</p></div>

Q: How do I improve indoor air quality?

• <div><p>Use air purifiers, clean regularly, and ensure proper ventilation to reduce pollutants.</p></div>

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 do you keep air clean during construction?

• <div><p>There are a few things you can do to help maintain healthy indoor air quality during construction. First, section off the area of your home where the work is taking place by hanging plastic sheets over doors to contain dust. Second, cover the vents in the construction zone using plastic sheets to prevent dust from entering into your ducts and circulating throughout your home. Finally, consider installing an air purifier that can scrub any stray particles out before you breathe them in.</p></div>
