Yes, duct sealing is considered an essential task for most homes.

For older homes, sealing is especially crucial as ducts are likely to have developed gaps and leaks over time, impacting both energy bills and air quality. However, even in newer homes, proactive duct sealing can prevent future issues and optimize your system's performance. A comprehensive approach that seals all leaks is key to maximizing energy efficiency and maintaining a comfortable home environment.

After you clean mildew or mold that appears in your home, you expect the nasty odor to disappear, too. Sometimes, though, the odor can linger after cleaning. To get rid of a mold smell, you may need to clean the area every few days for a few weeks. Use a dehumidifier or fans to try to remove moisture from the area. If the odor remains after a few weeks, you may still have mold or mildew in the area. Call a mold testing professional for another inspection.

Fortunately, many pros will clean the coils and change the filter for you during an inspection, which you should schedule once or twice per year.
