How do I know if my furnace needs cleaning?

• <div><p>You will know if your furnace needs cleaning if your furnace seems to be working less efficiently than normal. You may notice your bedroom is chilly, but the living room is extremely warm, or perhaps the furnace isn’t heating the house properly at all. The furnace may also make weird noises, like bangs or whistles, or emit a rubbery or smoky smell when it is dirty. Of course, these symptoms could also be signs of other issues, so call in an HVAC pro to take a look as soon as possible.</p></div>

The duct work had never been upgraded to the proper size needed for air conditioning. Which it was that way when we bought the house and it had never been addressed. The entire duct work and the new air conditioning unit over a 3 day period cost around $6,700, something like that. They’re very...

Air Duct Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Healthy air change per hour, or ACH, rates vary by room, usage, average occupancy, and volume. The minimum ACH that's considered healthy averaged throughout the home is 0.35. However, in rooms where humidity is an issue, such as bathrooms and kitchens, healthy ACH levels are between eight and 15.

While you can attempt to remove mold from ductwork using a mixture of water, baking soda, and laundry detergent, flexible ducts are fragile and may tear when you scrub at the mold to remove it. If you suspect mold is growing in your flexible ductwork, it’s best to contact a professional for help.

You will know if your furnace needs cleaning if your furnace seems to be working less efficiently than normal. You may notice your bedroom is chilly, but the living room is extremely warm, or perhaps the furnace isn’t heating the house properly at all. The furnace may also make weird noises, like bangs or whistles, or emit a rubbery or smoky smell when it is dirty. Of course, these symptoms could also be signs of other issues, so call in an HVAC pro to take a look as soon as possible.

There are a few things you can do to help maintain healthy indoor air quality during construction. First, section off the area of your home where the work is taking place by hanging plastic sheets over doors to contain dust. Second, cover the vents in the construction zone using plastic sheets to prevent dust from entering into your ducts and circulating throughout your home. Finally, consider installing an air purifier that can scrub any stray particles out before you breathe them in.

Onions, peppers, fish, broccoli, and fried chicken taste great—but the leftover smells can be less than appetizing. Even if these foods are cooked perfectly, the odors they leave behind can linger well beyond the dishes being cleared and washed. Fortunately, you can use the same tips to get a burnt smell out of the house and remove stubborn food odors. In addition, make sure you’re keeping your fridge clear of odor-smelling foods for too long to keep the stench from invading other foods.
