Clean Air Duct Means Cleaner Air

Clean Air Duct Means Cleaner Air

I have friends and colleagues who make fun of my fastidiousness. They give me a hard time over how important cleanliness and order means to me. I hear all the time how, due to my preference for keeping things quite clean, I must be a germaphobe. This is where I disagree. It’s true, I do like to have my home and office to be very clean. I think that on top of being extremely organized is unusual with many people. But, to think I walk around in constant worry of coming into contact with germs is a bit too much. Although I did have an incident with my HVAC that gave me the chills due to germs. I went to the basement to retrieve a box of files when I noticed something odd about the air ducts. The air ducts downstairs are overhead. However, at certain angles from the stairs or a ladder, the tops of the air ducts can be seen. I noticed what I thought was something the cat had dragged up onto one of the ducts. However, upon further examination, I saw that it was actually a rodents nest. What’s worse is the fact that there was a gap in the air duct joint. The rodents were going in and out of the air ducts. Now, germ-wise, that was as revolting as I want to come into contact in my own home. Fortunately, I have a great relationship with the HVAC company in town. All I had do was to call and they set up an appointment to have a crew come out and clean my air ducts.
