Bad smell from the ductwork

I remember a while back there was quite a foul smell coming from my cooling system every time I turned it on.

  • I was afraid that some sort of critter had gotten into the system and was leaving droppings or urine.

Perhaps something had even died in the air vents. Well, I wasn’t prepared to go investigating myself. I wasn’t sure at that point whether I should call critter control or a heating and Air Conditioning professional because the smell easily was funky and I strongly suspected critters were responsible, dead or alive. I ended up settling on calling out a heating and Air Conditioning professional. The Heating and Air Conditioning professional was able to come out to my home rather quickly, which I was grateful for. To my relief, he quickly found that the critters had nothing to do with the bad smell emanating from my Heating and Air Conditioning system. Still, there was a bad smell, however it was because of a leak in my system that was letting water collect in the Heating and Air Conditioning box. This water was dirty and contaminated and was emitting a strong smell. The Heating and Air Conditioning professional managed to patch the leak and clean up the water, and I can finally not breathe a bad stench every time I turn on my a/c unit. So, the bad smell and having to deal with it was a mild inconvenience. However, I’m easily delighted that was all it was and I did not have to deal with some sort of nasty vermin making its nest in my air vents or just dying somewhere inside the Heating and Air Conditioning system.
