Q: What happens if you don't clean your air ducts?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t clean your air ducts, dust, allergens, and mold can accumulate, potentially reducing indoor air quality. Clogged ducts can also strain your HVAC system, leading to inefficiency, increasing energy costs, and, worse, the possibility of a complete HVAC breakdown </p></div>

Q: Can I put furniture in front of a return air vent?

• <div><p>If possible, avoid placing furniture in front of a return air vent. A blocked air vent can cause your HVAC system to use more energy, which in turn can lower the life span of your unit and raise your energy bill. Furniture can also trap hot or cold air, damaging your furniture or appliances. </p><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/duct-installers/">Professional duct installers </a>suggest leaving between <b>six and 12 inches</b> of space in front of an air return vent. If you must place furniture in front of a return air vent, try to aim for putting furniture over a floor vent instead of in front of a wall vent, and avoid draping curtains over any vent system. </p></div>

Q: Does my home need return air vents?

• <div><p>Yes. Return air vents are responsible for gathering and pulling in the warmer air. Once they draw it in, your system conditions the air by removing the warmer molecules from it, allowing your air conditioner to dispense the cooler air back into your home. Not only does this create a more comfortable environment for you, but it also keeps your air conditioner from overworking, resulting in lower energy bills. </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: When should I be worried about smells in my house?

• <div><p>Any unexplained smell in your house should be investigated. However, some home odors are &quot;red flag&quot; worrisome because they pose immediate health and safety risks. Odors should be taken seriously when accompanied by headaches, nausea, or lightheadedness. If you smell an egg-like aroma, this is probably natural gas. You should leave the home immediately, and contact your gas company. </p></div>
