With hot plus cold temperatures often in the upper 90s plus humidity around 79% every single consecutive afternoon, I know we’re headed into the tops of summer season once again.
- The grass starts to die from sun exposure plus my cats tend to spend less time outdoors everyday plus adore to rush back indoors instead.
There actually is always an endless list of chores plus repair I find I must do as well. I have to disinfect my rain gutters, power clean off my driveway, disinfect my garbage cans, sweep large branches plus leaves from my roof, plus get my central Heating, Ventilation and A/C plan falling diagnosed ahead of the impending heat waves. Typically my HVAC repair appointments are straightforward, but this last time my ventilation professional was seriously stressing with me to keep the temperature indoors around something like 74 degrees at the lowest while we’re in the heat of summer season weather this year. He observed a bit of condensation located on the outside of my air handler plus told me to back off on significantly my a/c use. I ignored him plus rationalized the warning as merely some sort of hyperbole plus kept cranking the a/c every day. But, I will say, that’s when I started to notice pools of condensation forming under directly the ceiling air registers on the tile floor below. The metal air duct also was getting so chilly from overuse of my a/c that it was creating intense moisture pools when the warm indoor air met the chilly and dry metal surface. What I didn’t realize at the time, though, is exactly how much of this moisture was seeping into the wood in my poor ceiling—the wood that surrounds the metal frame of each air register all the way throughout my house. Thankfully, my trustee heating plus cooling professional found the water damage before damaging mold formed in my ceiling.
