Excessive dust
Posted: Thu May 05, 2011 5:39 am
I am constantly having to fight excessive dust. When I first moved out here, the road was unpaved, and so I attributed the dust to living off a dirt road. But, the county paved it about a year ago - and the dust doesn't seem to have declined at all.
I replaced the entire A/C exchange unit a couple years back, and installed new flexible vent tubing underneath. I keep above average filters in it at all times, and I change the filters every month - and they always look pretty full of dust.
My assumption is that the floor duct distribution line for either one or both sides is the culprit - but when I pull the vent covers to take a look-see - well, it doesn't look too bad. Still, I got dust.
Now, I know I will never get it to the point of looking like a 'clean room' - but I'd sure like to find the source(s). Is it practical to re-create the ducting underneath using the flexible tubing? Or should I be looking elsewhere?
