Pay attention to signs of pests, such as damage or droppings, and note things that are likely to attract pests into your HVAC system. Here are a couple of places that you can start with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Check Your Ductwork<\/strong> &#8211; Most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/quote-request.php\">HVAC systems<\/a> have ductwork that passes through the whole house. This means that it also passes through areas that are prone to pests such as the attic and the basement. With time, the ducts may develop cracks and openings through which pests get into the HVAC system. To prevent this, you should have a professional contractor seal the ductwork completely.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Control Humidity<\/strong> \u2013 Most pests thrive better in a humid area. It is important that your HVAC keeps the humidity levels below 60%. There are several issues and problems that can result in high humidity. Low refrigerant and a dirty coil are just some of the reasons. For help with issues controlling humidity, you will need a professional to prevent pests from breeding in your HVAC system.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eliminate Moisture<\/strong> &#8211; When it comes to preventing pests in your HVAC system, it is important to eliminate moisture as any excess moisture can provide a good breeding ground for insects and bacteria. For example, the drip pan can collect water encouraging insects to breed. Although it is quite normal to have some water while the AC is running, for any standing water you should call in the professionals immediately.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seal All Entry Points<\/strong> &#8211; To prevent pests from even getting into your HVAC system in the first place, it is important that you seal all the entry points. You should especially pay close attention to points where the pipes go into your home. For efficient sealing, it is important that you get the sealing done by professionals.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Monitor Your Outdoor Unit<\/strong> \u2013 Outdoor heat pumps and air conditioner units make an inviting place for animals and pests to take shelter, especially when not in use. Keep a regular eye on your outdoor systems to spot signs of pests or damage. You should also keep the area around your unit free from the buildup of leaves and other yard waste to avoid encouraging animals to burrow and nest.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Call_Galmiche_Sons_Today_for_Professional_Tips_to_Prevent_Pests_in_Your_HVAC_System\"><\/span>Call Galmiche &amp; Sons Today for Professional Tips to Prevent Pests in Your HVAC System<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Whether you need help preventing pests in your HVAC system or you need HVAC repair for damage caused by pests, our technicians at Galmiche &amp; sons are more than willing to help you.
