Is it normal for AC vents to drip condensation?

• <div><p>No, it’s not normal for AC vents to drip condensation. A sweating AC vent is a sign of something wrong and can lead to issues like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/moisture-leads-air-duct-rusting.htm">air duct rust</a> or mold growth. Your HVAC unit might not be working efficiently because of a dirty filter or clogged ducts. Alternatively, your ductwork might not have adequate insulation, which allows the cool air in the ducts to meet the humid air outside, causing condensation. </p></div>

Q: How do I clean the air in my house after renovating it?

• <div><p>Focus on cleaning the air after you&rsquo;ve finished cleaning surfaces. Use air purifiers, moving them as necessary from room to room. The air filters should be cleaned or replaced, depending on the type of filters you have. Clean the air ducts by yourself or by hiring a pro. Finally, open doors and windows to ensure the space is properly ventilated.</p></div>

Q: Should you put filters in your return vents?

• <div><p>You can add return vent filters to your HVAC system to help remove contaminants from the air. However, you should avoid adding return vent filters if your HVAC system already has a filter in its air handler. Filters can restrict airflow, which will make your HVAC system work harder.</p></div>

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: Is it mold or dust in my air vent?

• <div><p>You normally won&rsquo;t see any dust or mold actively floating out of your vent, but you might notice your vent looks dirty. Mold will cling to the sides and collect almost like black soot. Dust will look, well, dusty, but there will usually be a heavy buildup so expect thick gray layers on the bottom and sometimes the sides of the vent. <b>If you suspect you have mold in your vents, call a professional immediately. </b></p></div>

"I have choice warranty and from the looks of it he's done this exact same thing before my AC is not working correctly. He came out said that it needed to be replaced first he said it was under full. I needed more than he said it was over full, and it has an obstruction in it that somebody must've caused he sent that in home choice refused to pay the claim Which I'm not worried about replacing the AC but being accused of doing something to my AC is not correct when he was the last want to service it about a month ago. He was also four hours late without a call or anything that they were going to be late Very unprofessional. No if you have choice home warranty, he will deny your claim and charge you $85 if it needs to be replaced if it's just a repair he'll go ahead and take your $85 and charge them.
