My husband as well as I are involved in a major remodeling project.
We have truly gutted the laundry room as well as family bathroom down to the bare studs as well as floor joists.
The task has generated a tremendous amount of dust as well as debris. We have rented a dumpster as well as it’s nearly full of pieces of drywall, old insulation, plumbing pipes as well as fixtures. Before the two of us began renovations, the two of us took the time to carefully seal the supply as well as return vents affixed to the ductwork as well as heating/cooling system. Our oil furnace as well as a/c are fairly new as well as were sizable investments. We spent extra on top quality, high-efficiency device to ensure lower energy costs as well as ideal year round comfort. In order to keep the oil furnace as well as a/c operating reliably for as long as possible, the two of us take great care of the equipment. We substitute air filters every month as well as schedule annual professional repair. The dust as well as airborne contaminants caused by our construction project could cause some major concerns with restricted airflow through the ducts, air quality as well as wear as well as tear on the heating as well as cooling system. We used plastic sheeting to block off the laundry room as well as bathroom from the rest of the house, hoping to contain the mess. However, I’ve noticed that our entire cabin is dusty. There’s always a film on surfaces in every room. I’m now sad that despite all of our precautions, the oil furnace as well as a/c are at risk. I am reluctant to run the a/c despite the high temperatures outside. I know the two of us need to just open the windows for ventilation as well as schedule professional cleaning of both the heating as well as cooling plan as soon as this project is completed.
