I hate climbing into the attic for any reason, whether it’s maintenance work or a quest to find something that was stored away 10 years ago.
It’s extremely dusty up there, in addition to the number of spiders would make anyone terrified.
My spouse in addition to I used to hide Christmas presents up there until the people I was with and I lost a few gifts 1 year, only to accidentally stumble upon them years later while reorganizing all of our junk up there. Nowadays the people I was with and I only keep a handful of boxes in addition to random pieces of outdated furniture in our dusty attic. After the adolescents moved out, the people I was with and I started using 1 of their rooms for any additional storage the people I was with and I might need so that attic access would be a option in addition to not a necessity. Despite this, there’s 1 central reason that forces me to keep going back up to that dreaded attic space. Unluckyly, that’s where the air handler for our central air conditioner is located. Whenever I want to update the filter, I have to climb up into the attic in addition to stumble around to get to the air handler without stepping on a piece of air duct or a wooden rafter. Right now I’m noticing a bit of mildew growing on the metal surface of the air handler. It’s really moderate outside right now in addition to the air handler sweats condensation while it runs. After enough condensation forms without being able to adequately dry, it starts to breed mold in addition to mildew growth. I constantly wipe it away with a heavy peroxide solution to kill the microbial growth, however I want to figure out a way to better insulate the air handler from the moderate attic air. Doing so would entirely improve the air conditioner’s energy efficiency in the process.
