Are your air ducts sweating? All central heating, ventilation, and cooling (HVAC) systems have air ducts. Consisting of flexible conduits, they route conditioned air into your home’s living spaces. It’s not uncommon for air ducts to sweat. When walking around the attic, you may notice moisture on your air ducts. By understanding why your air …
When preparing your AC system for the summer, you should check the condenser unit to ensure it has an appropriate amount of open space around it. The condenser unit is the large box-like piece of equipment that’s installed outdoors. Within it are your AC system’s condenser coil, condenser fan, and compressor. So, how much space …
