Think of the ductwork as the lungs of your home. Returns inhale, the blower pushes that air across the equipment, and the supplies exhale it back into the rooms, cycle after cycle. Anything carried along for the ride eventually settles inside. In a typical Fort Collins, CO house, that is a thin layer of dust and dander. In others, we find renovation dust, original construction scraps still sitting in the trunks, evidence of past pests, or the cause behind a musty startup smell. The damage is double: the air your family breathes gets worse, and the airways narrow while the blower and coil load up, which means the equipment has to work harder to deliver less air.
Our two most requested repairs are AC Repair and Furnace Repair. Start there if your system isn't running right.

- Allergy or dust complaints that get worse indoors, not better
- Visible dust puffing from supply registers when the blower starts
- A home you just bought with an unknown or unkempt service history
- Renovation or drywall work done with the ducts uncovered
- A stale, musty odor every time the heat or air comes on
- Registers and nearby ceilings growing dark halos of blown dust
