In January, we moved from the Bay Area to our Reno condo. We both suffer from allergies, but almost immediately after we moved in, our sneezing and sniffling increased tenfold. At first we thought we were reacting to the drier Nevada climate and might need time to adjust; over the next few weeks, however, we noticed that the severity of our allergies was directly related to our use of the heater. During cold spells, when we had the heat running for most of the day, we sneezed constantly and ran through box after box of tissues. Whenever the weather warmed up and we weren’t using the heater that much, our symptoms decreased. Our condo maintenance person recommended that we call Air Medic. He mentioned that a number of other residents in our complex had used Air Medic’s services with good results.
Todd came last Thursday and spent a good four hours thoroughly cleaning the ducts, caulking areas where cold air was leaking in, and cleaning and replacing the registers. The previous condo owner had fastened screening material inside some of the registers, presumably to keep the dust from blowing into the rooms. Todd disabled and discarded these ineffective homemade “filters.” Using powerful, specialized equipment, he was able to remove decades of filth from the ducts. He also cleaned out the dryer vent and the exhaust vents in the bathrooms. It was rather obvious from the amount of dirt, dust, and lint that had accumulated in the ducts and vents that they had not been cleaned out since the building was constructed in 1972!
The service Air Medic performed was not exactly cheap, but it was worth every penny. Our allergies are still with us, but we are no longer miserable.
