Your duct system is the respiratory tract of the house: every hour the blower runs, it inhales from the return side, pushes air across the equipment, and exhales through the supplies, and everything that air carries settles somewhere along the way. In most Oshkosh, WI homes that means dust and pet dander in a thin film; in some it means drywall dust from the last renovation, debris from the original construction still sitting in the trunks, the leavings of past pests, or a musty smell that arrives every time the system starts. Buildup does its damage twice: it degrades the air your family breathes, and it narrows airways and loads the blower, making the whole system work harder to move less air.
The repairs homeowners call us about most are AC Repair and Furnace Repair. Start there if your system isn't running right.
