Last winter, I decided to cook salmon for dinner.
- The salmon was especially fishy odoring plus tasting.
The odor from our meal spread through the entire house. That night, when my nice friend and I noticed the scent was quite strong in our home office. The following day, the odor continued to linger in every room, then i tried vacuuming, lighting scented candles plus setting out boxes of baking soda, then unfortunately, with the outdoor temperature in the teens, it simply wasn’t possible to open the windows plus take luck of fresh air. I finally did some research plus realized that the odor had gotten into the ductwork. When there has an accumulation of dust plus other debris concealed inside the ducts, it can absorb odors plus spread them throughout the living space every time the furnace starts up. This is an indication of problems with airflow through the ductwork plus problems with indoor air quality. It was legitimately likely that there was dust, dander, harmful bacteria plus potentially mold inside the ducts. I reached out to a local Heating as well as Air Conditioning corporation that specializes in duct cleaning. After testing plus inspecting the duct system, the professional confirmed that cleaning was necessary. The cleaning process took many hours to complete but created no mess or harm. The improvement was immediately obvious; Not only was the unpleasant odor eliminated but our house felt much more comfortable. The temperature from one room to another is now more consistent. I don’t need to vacuum or dust as often plus our daily heating bills are significantly lower… Because the furnace doesn’t need to toil as taxing to distribute heat, it should be more reliable.
