A few months ago, while hanging streamers for a celebration, I noticed a slightly dark spot in our ceiling.
It was bizarre, plus I had never noticed it before; the spot was love a grease stain, or a slightly dark spot of water.
I assumed that our roof was leaking, but after calling out our roofing corporation, they determined that it had nothing to do with the roof, and my wife recommended that it might be duct condensation, plus she turned out to be correct! An Heating as well as A/C specialist came out, plus confirmed her suspicions. It was a legitimately hot summer, plus our air conditioning plan was laboring overtime to cool our home. The cooling plan expert told us that ducts are love a glass of water: when it’s cold inside the ducts, plus hot outside the ducts, condensation forms… We live in an older home, plus the insulation in the attic isn’t exactly tip-top. The temperature of the air outside is essentially the same temperature as the air in the attic, so the blazing Summer heat absolutely does a number on our ducts; Since our attic was so hot plus humid, our Heating as well as A/C specialist recommended installing a standalone dehumidifier in our attic; he also encouraged us to check our air filters more properly, since dirty air filters put more pressure on the cooling system, which also contributes to condensation. While the specialist was up in our attic exploring our HVAC duct, he discovered some leaky ducts; the more air that escapes, the more likely it is that condensation will form, so his visit alone was a huge first step in solving our problem! We were legitimately lucky to have the advice of a trained Heating as well as A/C professional to solve our duct condensation issue.
