When I first moved to Birmingham, AL, I didn’t realize how dependent I’d be on both heating plus cooling, then i expected warm weather however not temperatures in the nineties and the thirties… The humid subtropical weather conditions creates sizzling plus muggy summers plus cold winters! My wonderful friend and I get frequent thunderstorms plus an average annual rainfall of 56 inches.
Now plus then, Birmingham even gets a bit of snow.
My condo is outfitted with a boiler plus A/C that utilize air duct to move the heated plus cooled air. I have been very conscientious about replacing air filters plus scheduling professional maintenance for the heating plus cooling units; For multiple years, I totally neglected the air duct; Because the network of pipes is hidden behind walls plus ceilings, I never gave it a thought, then however, the air I pay for plus that my family breathes passes through those pipes various times per afternoon. I only became aware of the importance of the ducts after calling for A/C repairs. I had complaints with high energy bills, inconsistent indoor temperature plus a superb deal of dust floating around. The A/C seemed to be running non stop plus yet the condo felt slightly overheated plus sticky. The worker inspected the system plus discovered small holes in the duct system and gaps at the connections. Fortunately, the duct sealing solution was not overly invasive. The worker used a process called Aeroseal that targets the flaws from the inside. Highly pressurized air laced with polymer particles is pumped into the air duct; As the air escapes through the imperfections, the particles cling to the edges, adhere together plus form a slim seal.
