Q: Does homeowners insurance cover ductwork?

• <div><p>Homeowners insurance may cover ductwork if a covered peril, like vandalism, fire, or a windstorm, causes the damage. However, it won&rsquo;t cover damage caused by homeowner neglect or regular wear and tear. Since rust is often a byproduct of neglect, repairing it likely won&rsquo;t be covered. And insurance will never cover maintenance tasks like air duct cleaning or HVAC service. </p></div>

Q: How common is mold in HVAC ducts?

• <div><p>Mold in HVAC ducts is a relatively common issue that homeowners struggle with&mdash;especially in humid climates or homes with poor ventilation. Moisture from condensation, combined with dust and organic debris, creates the perfect environment for mold growth. Homes with high humidity, leaky ducts, or clogged drains are more prone to this issue. Regular inspections and proper HVAC maintenance significantly reduce the risk of mold developing in your ducts.</p></div>

Q: How often should I change the filters in my return air vents?

• <div><p>How often you change the filters in your return air vents typically depends on factors such as your indoor air quality, the type of filter used, and the specific needs of your HVAC system. Generally, checking your filters every 1-3 months is recommended. However, if you have pets or allergies or live in an area with high dust levels, more frequent replacements may be necessary. Regular filter changes ensure that your HVAC system operates efficiently, maintains good indoor air quality, and extends its lifespan.</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>

Q: Can you use a shop vac to clean air ducts?

• <div><p>Yes, you can grab your shop vac to clean air ducts, but it may not be as effective as professional equipment. Use a long hose attachment to reach deeper into the ducts and a brush to loosen dust. While it helps remove surface debris, it won&rsquo;t provide a deep, thorough clean.</p></div>

We have a contract with them. They came in the spring to check. We just do that. There have been no problems with the checkup. They did install, it has been a few years ago, our new heater. They installed our new air conditioner whenever we got a new air conditioner.

We are a full service heating, cooling and refrigeration contractor. We provide quality service and HEIL products.

"These guys are prompt if anything else. I have only one time got voicemail and they actually called me back same-day. I don't think I've ever had an actual emergency. I had two new Trane units installed to replace a really old set. The installation was great and support just as good. There was initially a drainage issue that got resolved as soon as it popped up, but that was due to a small drain pipe in the attic unit that got clogged with debris. Then the flood sensor went bad. But like previously stated, they are always on top of it and get it fixed right up. The pricing and service was amazing even prior to having the units replaced, too. And I have a very complicated hydronic and heat pump setup. I'd strongly recommend these guys to anyone in the area."
