There’s a unusual stink in our heating ducts

I suppose I will make an appointment for a professional air duct cleaning this week

I’ve been noticing lately that there is a unusual stink coming through our heating ducts. I’m not sure what it is, nor am I sure that I honestly want to guess at this point. I am afraid of what it might be inside our ventilation system! Of course, I also don’t want to keep breathing in whatever it is. The indoor air conditions in the home isn’t honestly at the levels that it should be, & so I suppose that I should really call our local Heating & A/C company so I can have them come & check out the air duct & the ventilation system. The other day, I looked at a couple of Heating & A/C blogs. I was doing some research to see if I could figure out what the concern might be & I found out that occasionally, you might have an issue with cracked or damaged air duct that could be at the root of the problem. If you have an air duct that has a crack in it, you might end up with some mold or mildew growing on the inside of your air ducts. I suppose that would explain the poor stinks that the people I was with and I have been getting in our house. I have to confess that I actually prefer that explanation better than the one that I was thinking about! I thought that the people I was with and I might have a dead rodent up there & that was honestly starting to freak myself and others out. I mean, who wants to breathe in the stink of a dead mouse every time the furnace idea turns on? Definitely not me, that’s for sure. I suppose I will make an appointment for a professional air duct cleaning this week. Hopefully the people I was with and I can get the concern fixed in time for the holidays.
