Clearing the Air

Nothing gets the blood boiling quite as much as excessive heat. Even Dayton, OH residents who have working air conditioners run into problems every now and again. In fact, there are many of us who have run into the exact same issue at one point or another—namely, the issue of a particular room not getting as much cool air as it should. Plenty of us have been there, but so few of us know just what to do in order to set things right again .There aren’t many things that are as frustrating as walking into your bedroom at night, only to instantly be met with a sudden burst of uncomfortable heat. By finding the right contractor, you can get that air conditioner fixed so that it’ll go back to distributing air evenly throughout your home.

The most obvious and easily implemented solution to a problem is often the correct one in many cases. When it comes to faulty air conditioners, many of us immediately assume that there must be something wrong with our unit’s construction or wiring. In reality, the issue might be something much more easily dealt with. In many cases, when an AC isn’t heating a particular room, it’s because the ducts and vents need to be thoroughly cleaned. You see, after you’ve used your air conditioner for a while, tiny pieces of dust and debris pile up on top of one another, caking together to form a layer of dirt formidable enough to obstruct even the strongest gusts of air from your HVAC unit.

How can you be sure if dirt is the cause of your cooling problem, though? The easiest way to find out for certain is to enlist the help of a contractor—preferably the same one who installed your air conditioner in the first place, or at the very least, someone affiliated with the same heating and cooling company. If you chose the organization wisely, then you should have access to a number of cleaning and repair services, including maintenance for dirty ducts. Your contractor should be able to examine your air conditioner in order to fully diagnose the problem, whereupon they can go to work on fixing everything up for you.

Even if you don’t have an inspection carried out, there are many ways to tell whether or not your vents are being blocked. One of the most common signs is excessive dust all over your furniture. If you clean your room on a regular basis and dust settles back down in mere days, then your ducts likely need to be cleaned.
