These 3 Invading Pests Can Wreck Your HVAC

hvac pests

The HVAC system in your Whiteface, Texas, home is a source of comfort for your family throughout the year. However, it’s also a place many pests may choose to call home. If you think you may have some invading pests but aren’t quite sure what they are, here are a few that can severely damage your HVAC system.

Mice

Mice love the warmth of the furnace, especially during cold weather. Most often, mice set up shop in the air intake of your furnace, which you’ll find next to the air filter. If you have mice hiding there, you can usually smell these culprits when you turn on the furnace; it will smell of urine, feces, or decay. To alleviate the situation, you may want to put some glue traps or mousetraps in the area and check them frequently.

It’s also important to note that the frequency of infestation increases greatly with neglected or older HVAC systems. If you live in an older home, it becomes even more important to get a tuneup, as our technicians can find potentially problematic areas.

Roaches

There’s nothing more disgusting than having roaches invade your home. The problem is that roaches love to hide in hard-to-reach places, especially in your air ducts. Not only do the ducts provide undetectable passage from room to room, but they also offer the moisture necessary to keep colonies thriving. Pest traps are usually the best prevention here, as insecticides may be blown through your home when the unit kicks in.

Squirrels

Larger animals can also wreak havoc on your HVAC system, yet they’re easier to detect. It’s easy to hear a squirrel scamper through the vents, so detection of this one is easier. If you do find a squirrel in the vents, using a trap or a pest extermination company can eradicate the problem.

The best way to keep pests out of your home is by prevention. With some proper HVAC care from BTAC, Inc., you can keep these unwanted tenants from entering your home. Call us today at 806-589-1014.

I am so thankful for BTAC and the guys they sent out to repair a major hot and cold water leak under our slab. They knew what they were doing, and were very professional and polite, and I might add compassionate. They are an asset to the company!

To the credit of BTAC and it's management, I had a frustrating experience with them on a call out for a problem with a blower motor. I made my opinion known and contacted them through email to express it. They responded, sent out new technicians and made it right. That doesn't happen very often these days, and it's good to see a company show it cares about that. If you call these folks to come out, and your experience is what you expected, let them know, they'll work with you. 👍

I'm new to the Lubbock area and Bruce Thornton Air Conditioning was the first company we called. They had someone at our house to help in an hour and the service man had our AC fixed in 30 minutes. Their customer service was great from the receptionist who answered the phone to the hvac professional who fixed our AC!
