Clean and well-maintained air ducts are crucial for efficient HVAC operation and good indoor air quality. Signs that your air ducts may need attention include:

• Visible Dust and Debris: If you notice dust and debris around your vents, it’s a sign that your ducts may need cleaning.
• Uneven Heating or Cooling: Inconsistent temperatures throughout your home can indicate blockages or leaks in your ductwork.
• Increased Energy Bills: Higher-than-normal energy bills can be a sign that your HVAC system is working harder due to dirty or damaged ducts.
• Mold Growth: Musty odors or visible mold around vents can indicate mold growth inside your ducts, which can negatively impact your health and indoor air quality.

If your HVAC system breaks down, it’s important to take the following steps:

• Check the Thermostat: Ensure that your thermostat is set to the correct mode (heating or cooling) and temperature. Sometimes, simple adjustments can resolve the issue.
• Inspect the Power Source: Check if the system is receiving power. Look for tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses and reset them if necessary.
• Replace Air Filters: Dirty air filters can restrict airflow and cause your system to shut down. Replace the filters if they are clogged.
• Call a Professional: If the problem persists, contact Glover & Son Heating & Air Conditioning. Our technicians are available 24/7 to diagnose and repair any issues, ensuring your system is back up and running quickly.
