Q: What are the dangers of forced-air heating?

• <div><p>While your forced heating system runs, it can pick up dirt, dust, hair, and other particles from inside your house. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-reasons-change-your-furnace-filter.htm">Changing your furnace filters regularly</a> is key to preventing this debris from getting stuck in your ducts and swirling around your home. With some types of furnaces, there&rsquo;s also the potential for carbon monoxide leaks. However, staying up-to-date with your HVAC inspections and installing carbon monoxide sensors can help mitigate this risk.</p></div>

Q: Can dirty air ducts restrict airflow?

• <div><p>Yes, dirty air ducts restrict airflow, reducing your HVAC's efficiency. This forces your system to work harder, increasing energy costs and wear and tear on your HVAC. Reduced airflow leads to uneven heating or cooling, seriously reduced indoor air quality, and can potentially trigger allergies or respiratory issues.</p></div>

Q: Is FPR better than MERV?

• <div><p>No, FPR isn&rsquo;t necessarily better than MERV. Both systems measure an air filter&rsquo;s effectiveness, but they express it on different scales. FPR ratings range from 1 to 12, while MERV ratings run between 1 and 20. However, some people might find FPR ratings easier to understand since they&rsquo;re color-coded and have descriptors like &ldquo;good,&rdquo; &ldquo;better,&rdquo; and &ldquo;premium.&rdquo;</p><p> </p></div>

Q: How do I locate where the smell is coming from?

• <div><p>While a professional can always help, there are some common plumbing culprits you can check yourself to see if you can find the sewer gas smell. For example, you should check your water traps, sometimes called P-traps and S-traps, which are located under sink, shower, and laundry drains. The wax ring beneath the base of your toilet, which creates a watertight seal with the plumbing, could also have gone bad.</p></div>

Q: What shortens the life of an air conditioner?

• <div><p>While most air conditioners can last between 10 and 20 years, they will only last this long (or longer) if properly taken care of. Routine maintenance and inspections help keep your AC unit running in tip-top shape but understanding what factors will decrease its lifespan will also help keep your unit running cool.</p><p>Some things that shorten your AC&rsquo;s lifespan include:</p><ul><li><p>Extreme outdoor conditions, like high humidity or extensive salt spray </p></li><li><p>Improper installation</p></li><li><p>Extended run times, either by the unit being too small or the thermostat setting too low</p></li><li><p>Not performing required maintenance</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Two men from D's construction came to help me clean up my rental house on 8/3/25. The job was done right. They went beyond what was expected and charged a reasonable price. They are going to return next week to do some more work.

"It went excellent! These guys did a fantastic job, worked hard, responsive, professional. They explained that the Big Deal did not cover all of my ductwork and the condition of the ducts were worse than I thought so I ended up paying 4x the Big Deal price but they were very thorough. Good job!
