I am concerned about my HVAC (Heating Ventilation & Air Conditioning) Unit & the ductwork in my property. Where do I start??
When it comes to HVAC Units and ductwork systems, there can be a variety of potential problems that can lead to Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) issues such as, but not limited to, excessive moisture accumulation, fungal growth, debris accumulation, rodent activity, fiberglass deterioration, and even open return air ductwork in attic spaces, crawlspaces, etc.
Following NADCA published guidelines, we evaluate the current condition of the HVAC System & ductwork to locate these potential issues. We can provide guidance & instructions as to how the problems can be resolved by a Licensed Mechanical Contractor and/or Certified Restoration Company.
What type of filter media should I install in my HVAC (Heating Ventilation & Air Conditioning) Unit? What about Ozone & UV Light?
