Q: When is professional assessment necessary for my ductwork?

• <div><p>If you notice increased energy bills, poor airflow, or frequent HVAC system issues, a professional assessment is advisable. Technicians can identify duct leaks or inefficiencies that require updating or maintenance.</p></div>

Q: Why does my house smell like dog?

• <div><p>We love our pets, but a dog's fur, gums, teeth, and butt can all be sources of lingering smells that affect your home. If your dog is wet or dirty from playing outside, they can easily bring these scents into your house as well.</p></div>

Q: Do vent air deflectors work?

• <div><p>Yes, vent deflectors do work to redirect hot and cold air distributed from your HVAC system. If installed correctly&mdash;and magnetic deflectors make it easy to DIY&mdash; you might find that a deflector is enough to redirect the warm or cool air where you prefer it to be. At the very least, it&rsquo;s an easy, inexpensive experiment before committing to the bigger project of moving the air vent to a new location.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don't clean your AC evaporator coils?

• <div><p>If you don't clean your AC evaporator coils, dirt and debris will build up, which impairs the system's ability to transfer heat. This forces the unit to work harder, leading to inefficient performance, higher energy bills, and frequent breakdowns. Over time, neglected coils can corrode, which may cause refrigerant leaks, or develop mold, ice buildup, and a clogged condensate drain, resulting in poor air quality and an uncomfortable home.</p></div>
