What are the visual symptoms of dirty ductwork?

Q: How do you clean fine dust after construction?

• <div><p>The best way to clean fine dust particles after construction is by combining dusting with vacuuming. Start up high by dusting ceiling fans, walls, window sills, countertops, and other surfaces throughout your house. Once the dust has settled, go over all of your floors with a high-powered vacuum, giving a little extra attention to the carpeting. Make a second pass with your vacuum, and then mop all hard surfaces to get any remaining dust. Don&rsquo;t forget to vacuum your HVAC returns and supply vents and swap out the filters while you&rsquo;re there.</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: How do you get cooking smells out of your house?

• <div><p>Onions, peppers, fish, broccoli, and fried chicken taste great&mdash;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&rsquo;re keeping your fridge clear of odor-smelling foods for too long to keep the stench from invading other foods. </p></div>
