Your duct system is the respiratory tract of the house: every hour the blower runs, it draws air 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 Walnut Creek, CA homes that means dust and pet dander in a thin film; in some it means drywall dust from the last renovation, leftover construction debris still sitting in the trunks, rodent evidence in the crawlspace runs, 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 raises static pressure and coats the blower wheel and coil, making the whole system work harder to move less air.
Our two most requested repairs are AC Repair and Furnace Repair. If something has stopped working, start there.
