How long does HVAC maintenance take?

• <div><p>HVAC maintenance takes <b>one to two hours </b>for a pro to complete every task. The actual time it’ll take will depend on the size of your HVAC system, whether it’s been regularly maintained, and if your tech identifies any repairs that need addressing. If you decide to DIY your HVAC maintenance, the process will likely take longer.</p></div>

Can I close vents to deflect air?

• <div><p>No, because closing air vents could damage your HVAC system. Closing a vent will only keep the air in the duct, not redirect it to a room or zone where you’d prefer it to be. That air will become trapped within your ductwork, creating a buildup of pressure that can damage the ducts and cause leaks. </p></div>

Can a whole-house dehumidifier save money?

• <div><p>Yes. Getting a whole-house dehumidifier can help you save money on energy bills. How? Your home automatically feels cooler when there’s less humidity in the air (“It’s the humidity that gets ya!” is such a true statement). This means that you won’t need to run your AC as much as you would if you had all that extra humidity in your home.</p></div>

Q: Why does my whole house smell like cat pee?

• <div><p>Cat pee has a strong ammonia-like smell, so if you smell cat pee but don&rsquo;t have a cat or don&rsquo;t suspect your cat has any accidents, there could be other issues at hand. Aside from pet urine, your house may smell like cat pee from leaking freon from an old fridge, mold, spilled cleaning supplies, or even outside odors from nearby farms. </p></div>

Q: What should you do if there’s a dead animal in your air ducts?

• <div><p>If you discover a dead animal in your air ducts, address the issue promptly to prevent unpleasant odors and potential health hazards. Turn off your HVAC system to prevent further spread of contaminants and contact a professional HVAC technician or pest control specialist to remove the animal and clean the affected area. They have the tools and expertise to handle the situation, including removing and disinfecting contaminated ductwork. The technician will inspect the ducts for any damage or other issues that might have allowed the animal to enter. </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."
