Q: Can I close air vents?

• <div><p>If one room is significantly colder than the others, closing the air vents in the warmer rooms may seem like a way to redirect airflow. However, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-shutting-furnace-vents-improve-energy-efficiency.htm">closing air vents</a> is usually not a good idea. When the vents are blocked, your HVAC system will have to work harder, leading to higher energy bills and potentially shortening the life of the system.</p></div>

Q: How often should exhaust systems be inspected?

• <div><p>Exhaust systems should be inspected annually to prevent efficiency loss and address any arising mechanical issues.</p></div>

Q: How often should return vents be cleaned?

• <div><p>Return air vents should be cleaned at least every two to five years. However, they should be cleaned immediately if you notice debris forming on them, mold growth in the ductwork, signs of pest infestation, or noticeably more dust on your furniture.</p></div>

Q: What's the best time of year to test for leaks in ducts?

• <div><p>The best time to schedule an air duct leakage test is during the mild spring or fall seasons. During these times, your HVAC system is not under extreme demand for heating or cooling, making it easier to identify and address any issues with the ductwork. Additionally, scheduling the test during these seasons allows you to optimize your HVAC system's efficiency before the more challenging summer or winter months, ensuring comfort and energy savings throughout the year. </p></div>

Q: Why do my vents keep getting moldy?

• <div><p>Several factors contribute to the persistent growth of mold in vents, with excess moisture being the most common culprit. Consistent mold formation in vents indicates an ongoing moisture problem within the HVAC system or its surroundings, likely caused by condensation on cool surfaces in areas with high humidity. Moisture accumulation can also result from leaks in ductwork, inadequate ventilation, or insufficient insulation, creating an environment favorable for mold growth. Regular inspections, addressing potential sources of moisture, maintaining proper ventilation, and routine HVAC maintenance can help prevent the recurrence of mold in vents. If the issue persists, seek professional assistance to identify and rectify the underlying problems.</p></div>

"Terrible! Only used Chambers because Whirlpool sent them my service request. Had to leave my mom with tech in so I could return to work, so I wasn't even there to find out what was wrong BUT told him to call me when he knew something. I got vague blurb of the problem and my mom saying he said he broke something on the unit!? Took 3 days and me calling office twice before tech finally called me! And NOWHERE on the paperwork does it state that HE caused more damage to the unit than the original problem!"
