What is the difference between air duct sealing and coating?

The seal is used for covering holes and air leaks. When holes and leaks are properly sealed, the HVAC system will be more energy-efficient and the risk of it circulating contaminants will be lower. The coating, on the other hand, covers the inner walls of the ductwork. Its job is to prevent various contaminants from sticking to the walls, and more specifically the growth of microorganisms on the surface.

Why is my air duct filter getting dirty when our house is fully sealed and air-conditioned?

The dust and debris that get trapped in the air duct filter don't always come from outside of your house.

You may also find that regular cleaning will prolong your system and reduce the risk of breakdown. As the system is not under strain to circulate air through restricted ducts, it is more likely to perform effectively and efficiently which will save money on future maintenance.

Is it all right to keep the HVAC unit running 24/7?

Certain HVAC units are designed to run longer than others. Although the HVAC system can run for long hours even for days, it’s a good idea to shut it down at least overnight. Its efficiency can be affected if the system is overworked, and energy consumption easily piles up this way.
