Breathe Clean Air in Your Home
Smell Something Off?
Your nose is one of the most powerful tools when it comes to your senses. Although its primary use is to warn you of danger, nowadays, people just like to smell nice things. So, when your furnace starts to pump odors that don’t quite tickle your fancy, you’re likely curious about what steps can be taken to remove that odor. It largely depends on the kind of smells you’re experiencing, but an air duct cleaning company can likely remove those odors with residential duct cleaning and commercial duct cleaning.
Dust
Did you know that dust actually has an odor? Hopefully, you dust your house enough that you never experience the smell. However, the smell is pretty unavoidable when you turn your HVAC unit on for the first time in a while. That slightly musky, burning, smell you detect is the dust literally being burned as the furnace kicks to life. Not the nicest of things to breathe in, right?
One easy method of ensuring your home doesn’t smell, is to call in a professional cleaning company to give your furnace a thorough cleaning. While you may be tempted to just clean it yourself, you also need to access the evaporator coil. Unless you want to accidentally break your furnace and pay a huge repair bill, it’s best to leave the cleaning in the hands of the professionals.
Dead Animal Odor
An unfortunate part of having ducts is that sometimes little animals can crawl into them to keep warm during the chillier temperatures. Even more unfortunate, they often tend to end up dying in them, too. If you experience a rancid smell coming from your ducts, then it’s likely something died somewhere in there. Unless you want to deal with a dead animal, it might be best to call a professional cleaning company. They can use their equipment to locate the dead animal, remove it, and then clean and sterilize the area so the odor is removed.
Because there are lots of places for the animal to scurry around to, trying to find it yourself might end up causing you to tear down parts of your home. Make it easy on yourself by having an air duct cleaning crew do it for you.
Mold
Another source of a slightly musky odor comes from mold and mildew in your air ducts. This can result when you have too much moisture in your home or if you haven’t had the air filters in your unit changed out regularly. Because breathing in that mold could be hazardous to your health is breathed in for too long, it’s critical that you have a professional duct cleaning crew come in to remove it. If even one bit of mold remains, the chances of it returning and spreading are high.
As such, it’s important that you let a Certified Ventilation Inspector (CVI) inspect your air ducts, and then use special duct cleaning equipment and sanitary technology to get rid of mold.
