Q: How do I find the source of the moldy smell in my house?

• <div><p>You can find the smell of mold in your house in two ways: following your nose, and using common sense tactics like looking anywhere there&rsquo;s water first. Mold cannot form in a completely dry environment, which is why you see mold much more often under kitchen sinks than on garage floors. If you have looked everywhere and still can&rsquo;t find the source, <b>hire a pro</b>, because you may have mold in your walls.</p></div>

Q: What are the best air duct cleaning methods?

• <div><p>The best air duct cleaning methods involve removing the debris or dust in the ductwork through the use of a vacuum. Air duct pros refer to this method as negative pressure cleaning. To knock debris loose inside the ductwork, you may need to use a hand-operated brush or a rotary brush. You then can use the vacuum to suck up the loose debris and remove them from the ducts. If mold is present, pros may use a chemical spray to try to kill any bacteria or mold inside the system.</p></div>

Q: How can you avoid overworking your HVAC system?

• <div><p>Turn your system off when you're toasty or when you're out to prevent unnecessary wear. Using the timer on your thermostat so that it switches off when it reaches a certain temperature or turns on just before you get back from work is best. An annual maintenance contract can be helpful to ensure your system receives these important services at regular intervals.</p></div>

Q: Why are air vents in the ceiling?

• <div><p>Some homes in warmer locations have air vents in the ceiling because they do a better job of cooling than floor vents. This is because hot air rises and cool air sinks. Homes located in cooler climates tend to have vents in the floor because they do a better job of delivering warm air, which rises.</p></div>

Q: How do I get rid of mold in my furnace?

• <div><p>Before you start removing mold, turn off the furnace. Clean away any visible mold from accessible areas using a mixture of water and mild detergent. Change air filters and check for moisture sources like leaks. If the problem persists or it's widespread, hire a local HVAC company for professional cleaning.</p></div>
