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