"The guys from Healthy Homes were awesome. In our initial inspection, Peyton took the time to do a thorough search of our house looking for mold and any potential causes. He crawled all around the attic and crawl space in search of anything he could find which I greatly appreciated. The guys were always on time, and they were kind enough to answer each of my ten thousand questions. Hearing why they recommended the services they did was incredibly helpful for my wife and I. It was clear they werenâ t trying to pull any fast ones on a relatively new homeowner like myself. Jacobâ s expertise regarding foundations was greatly appreciated as well since we have an older home. He explained to me the proper ways to take care of and waterproof a foundation. His recommendation of investing in a dehumidifier, while somewhat pricey, was well worth it because it will help keep the air circulating throughout our house healthy. It will also be something we can pack up and take with us the next time we move homes, so it was well worth the investment."

Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

One of the fastest ways to unfreeze an AC unit is to turn off the unit and, if it’s warm outside, use the fan-only mode to help blow warmer air through the unit to speed up the defrosting process. While it may be tempting to use a hair dryer to defrost the air conditioner, that high heat can damage the coils.

After defrosting, if you can safely solve the issue with a fix like changing the filter, go ahead and do so. Otherwise, call in a pro before turning your AC back on.

It is possible to add air conditioning to an older home, but it can be very expensive to do so. Expect to pay anywhere from $6,000 to $17,000 or more for the ductwork and AC unit. You’ll also have to hack into the home’s walls and ceilings to add ductwork, which can impact the aesthetics of an old home.

When your HVAC technician mentions recharging your home AC unit, they’re referring to the process of topping off the unit with refrigerant, so the levels are properly maintained and pressurized. Normally, a properly functioning AC unit doesn’t need additional refrigerant, but AC units can develop leaks or other problems that decrease the amount of refrigerant needed.

Ideally, an AC system should never need more Freon (a popular refrigerant) because it circulates in a closed loop. However, refrigerant leaks are not uncommon and may occur gradually over 5 to 15 years. If your system has a leak, it will need to be topped up in a process known as an AC recharge. Signs of a refrigerant leak include weakened AC performance, increased humidity in your home, higher utility bills, and a hissing sound from the unit. The cost of an AC recharge will depend on the size and type of your AC unit, as well as the type of refrigerant it uses.

When first installed, flex ducts shouldn’t cause airflow problems in your home. However, because flex ducts aren’t the sturdiest and require extra support, they lose their durability over time and begin to sag, which can inhibit airflow down the road. Also, if your flex ducts aren’t tight enough, your HVAC could work twice as hard for the same air pressure. If you’re worried about the airflow in your home, a rigid duct may be your best bet.
