So perhaps the ductwork in our house was never cleaned.
And I’m really, entirely hoping that this is the case.
My pal and I recently had the Heating as well as A/C professionals come out to do ductwork cleaning as well as ductwork resealing. The Heating as well as A/C professionals who were in my house were exceptional. All the Heating as well as A/C specialists were genuinely careful inside my home. I keep a neat as well as wash home so I entirely am appreciative of folks who respect that effort by being tidy. But the guys from the local Heating as well as A/C company were on a whole other level. Their boots were covered every time they came in the house. And they were so careful to get any debris that got shook loose from the air ducts as well as ended up on the carpet, and one of the Heating as well as A/C specialists was on it the second it hit earth with a stick vacuum. But the sheer volume of dust as well as crud that came out of our ductwork was staggering. Apparently, the home was built in a time where they put some drastic metals into ductwork. While the ductwork was horribly filthy. And that makes me gag to think about. The ductwork is in tip top shape otherwise. Still, it was shocking the amount of debris that kept coming out of the air ducts. I was almost embarrassed. In fact, I asked if any of them had seen any residential Heating as well as A/C air ducts that were this bad. To my utter shock, they said that indeed, they’d seen much worse. I can’t even fathom what that has to look like. Perhaps these awesome Heating as well as A/C professionals were simply being nice to an outdated lady. But wow, I’m still repulsed just thinking about breathing the air that was sharing the air ducts with that grime as well as dust.
