Historic and riverfront homes
Older Palmetto homes near downtown and the river often have HVAC systems added or replaced long after the house was built. Ductwork may run through tight crawl spaces or attics, and dryer vents may follow an unusual route. These homes benefit from a careful look before any cleaning.
Newer construction to the north and east
New communities around Palmetto have brought a lot of recently built homes. In the first year or two, construction dust in the return ducts and lint buildup in long dryer runs are the most common reasons we hear from new homeowners.
River and bay humidity
Homes near the Manatee River and Terra Ceia Bay deal with humidity and salt air. Exterior vent hoods and chimney caps are worth inspecting every year, and any musty odor from the AC system should be looked at — sometimes it points to a moisture issue that an HVAC contractor needs to address.
