Of all the problems you might have with your air conditioning, mold in the duct system can be dangerous for your health and not so easy to get rid of. This problem develops over time and is not easy to identify before it gets too bad.
Nick was great! He came right out and was able to solve the problem fairly easily. He communicated well and helped us prevent a future problem as well.

0 stars if I could. Bought a faulty (not to mention overpriced) surface igniter, called back five minutes later after installing, of course they didn’t stand behind their part. Go to Grainger instead. Same (working) part, half the price.
Response from the owner:Hi there. I am unable to locate your customer profile. Please give our office a call at 314-471-7625 so we can get this figured out for you.
From the phone to the completion of the job everyone is so polite and informative. I had Giovani as our representative and he was very informative and professional, and knew exactly what the problem was. Thanks so much.

I will always call Hoffmans for my air and heat needs. They were out to my daughters house that day and fixed it. It was right before the weekend storm with below zero temps the next day. They saved my daughter and grandbabies. I could never thank them more.

Got a quote over the phone. Everything was explained thoroughly. Dakota, my technician arrived and on time, was very professional and knowledgeable. He didn’t try to upsell or change anything. He did a great job. We can already tell the difference since the ducts and vents were cleaned. Would recommend an use Hoffman again in the future.

Response from the owner:We are so happy to hear you had a great experience, Sam! Thank you for the review, and thank you for your business.
Your service technician was very professional and knowledgeable. And did not appear to try to give me bogus information. I truly appreciate his honesty because several other companies did not appear to be honest, obviously wasn’t honest, my gut feeling told me they were not honest and tried to get me to spend $10,000 for a problem that was much simpler to fix. I look forward to you servicing all my properties, and possibly those of the rest of my family.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind words and great review! We appreciate your support.
Here are four signs to look out for when regularly evaluating your air conditioning system. They will help you identify a mold problem early and solve it before it damages your health, home, or HVAC system.
Strange Smell in the House
The first sign usually noticed during a mold infestation is a strange, musky smell in the house, especially when the AC is on. The smell might be felt in the whole house or only in adjacent rooms that may get less sunlight or lack proper air circulation. The smell is similar to mildew smell, and you might become used to it over time. Ask someone who is visiting you if they notice a moldy smell when they enter your home. If you suspect something, call a professional AC service and have them check the inside of the vents.
Mold Spots or Black Dust around the Duct Openings
If you start noticing mold spots and mold dust, your problem already got much bigger. Usually, the infestation is quite advanced if you actually see the mold at the duct openings, ceilings, or walls. Mold looks differently, depending on the species infesting your house. It can look like a white, fluffy deposit or green-blue spots. Black mold, one of the most dangerous kinds, looks like black dust covering your duct grids, and you might mistake it for regular dust.
Allergy-like Symptoms
A mold infestation usually comes with health symptoms that are similar to respiratory allergies. You will get a runny nose, watery eyes, coughing, and sneezing, etc. If these symptoms disappear as soon as you leave the house or you stop using the air conditioner, it’s a sign that you might deal with mold.
Headaches, Breathing Problems
Some of the worst symptoms you can get from mold growing in your air conditioning system are headaches, dizziness, breathing problems, and other more serious signs. For people with certain conditions, such as asthma, these respiratory problems can be exacerbated and degenerate in an emergency.
If you notice one or more of these signs, seriously consider a mold infestation and investigate further. Calling an AC service is the best way to deal with such a problem because DIY solutions may not be safe or as effective as specialists. In addition, if you want to prevent such problems, then it would be wise to schedule maintenance visits at least once a year.
