Hello BP family!
I have a corner unit townhouse in Deerfield Beach, Florida (South Florida for those unfamiliar). The A/C unit is newer and works great. We have an ecobee thermostat hooked up to it and love it. The problem we are having is that the air coming from the downstairs vents smell "mildewy" but not all the time. It seems to get worse as the day goes on. The upstairs vents are perfectly fine. I should mention that the unit is located upstairs. I had a company come in and clean the unit as well as the vents. I was told there was no mold, however they didn't clean the downstairs vents all the way back to the unit because "they are to narrow and the machine might rip them up". After the company left there was no smell for about a week. I'm at a loss as far as what to do. Should I have a different company come out? Could it just be humidity and if so how can I remedy this? The downstairs ductwork is in soffits so I could just remove and replace them then redo the ceiling but I don't want to waste the money and time if it will just happen again. Any and all comments/ ideas will help!!
Thank you!
