You would think that an odd and unwelcome odor would be a thing of the past with a whole-home air purification system, but still, there was an unpleasant smell in the house. I tried using an air freshener, but that only made it smell like an abandoned slaughterhouse. I replaced the air filter barely two months before the last replacement, which also did not work. The next day I hired a cleaning team and then called the home service provider to come and check what was wrong with the air purification system. By the time the HVAC professional arrived, the cleaning crew had finished with its work, and they did not find anything that could have been the cause of the foul smell. Now I had a squeaky clean house that still stunk. The smart HVAC has cost me a fortune, and I was disappointed that I was having problems with indoor air quality. The HVAC technician came, and I directed him toward the HVAC equipment. He confirmed that all was well with the HVAC system. I was at wit’s end because everything seemed okay; he even confirmed that the air purification help was in pristine condition. Before the a/c expert packed up his tools, he had a ‘light-bulb’ moment. He suggested that he conduct duct cleaning to ensure there was nothing in the ducts. To my surprise and relief, the technician discovered a dead rat that was the cause of the foul odor. He removed it, ran the air purification equipment, and the air quality returned to its former glory. I was ecstatic to have my house because the past two days had been a nightmare.
