Why insulate ductwork?

• <div><p>When you insulate ductwork, you help protect the air moving through the system from external conditions and keep it sealed within the ducts. This makes your HVAC system more efficient since it doesn’t have to work as hard to heat or cool your home. Insulation can help lower your energy bills and prevent problems like condensation and mold formation inside your ducts. </p></div>

Q: How do you maintain a forced-air heating system?

• <div><p>If you have a forced-air heating system, it&rsquo;s important to have it professionally inspected at least once per year. During one of these visits, your contractor will look at all of the components of your HVAC system, including your furnace or heat pump, air conditioner, and ducts. On average, an <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hvac-inspection-cost.htm">HVAC inspection costs</a> $300. It&rsquo;s also important to perform basic maintenance between inspections, such as changing your filters and cleaning dust from around your vents.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don't follow an air duct cleaning schedule?

• <div><p>Failing to follow an air duct cleaning schedule can allow dust, allergens, and contaminants to accumulate. This can lead to poor indoor air quality and potential respiratory problems or allergies for occupants. Mold and mildew can develop in the ducts, posing serious health risks and creating unpleasant odors. Debris buildup can also restrict airflow, causing the HVAC system to work harder and reduce its efficiency.</p></div>

Q: How do I get water out of my air vents?

• <div><p>To get water out of AC vents, first identify the source of the water. Check other air vents in your home for signs of moisture. If you can&rsquo;t find any, look around the room for anything that might have seeped water in like an overwatered plant or a spill. Meanwhile, if you notice more than one air vent wet in other areas of your home, it&rsquo;s more than likely an issue with your insulation, roof, or air conditioner. Start by hiring an HVAC technician who can trace the source of the leak for you.</p></div>

Q: How much clearance does a floor return vent need?

• <div><p>A floor return vent needs a clearance of between 6 and 12 inches in front of it. You should not place large furniture, such as shelves, drapes, or couches, directly in front of a return air vent. </p></div>

"excellent - Klean Force uses an outside lab to analyze the mold & determine type which I think is important. Gary was very responsive and when they started remediation, the black mold was worse than expected. They were helpful in determining the source of the leak, which confirmed the fix we had done. The remediation was a neat as possible. I would recommend them for any testing and remediation."

Aire Serv of Southern NM knows the importance of having things be just right. Not only does a broken or under performing heating or AC unit make your house uncomfortable, it also increases your utility bills and reduces the quality of your home’s air, which could increase allergies and sickness. Help is a simple phone call away. Think of us as EMTs, but for your heating, ventilating, and air conditioning system.

"If you want great quality and a decent price but are ok with very unreliable customer service, then go with Aire Serv. Aire Serv did great quality work on repairing, crafting and installing improved ducting for our central air system. Our A/C is working better than it ever has at quickly cooling/heating our house. Unfortunately it was a nightmare trying to arrange a date and time for the maintenance. I have to schedule time off in advance in order to be home during the day, but every time they tried to schedule the installation it was very short notice, and through email which they did not respond to for usually a few days. It took about 5 emails and a few phone calls, and they were only able to schedule the install when I told them I was going to go with another company. Again, if you want great quality work and are willing to wait for the maintenance for almost 2 months, then go with Aire Serv."
