    High humidity in University Place homes creates ideal conditions for mold in HVAC ducts. Professional duct cleaning and UV purifiers eliminate this health risk.

    Heat pump defrost cycle failures

    Cold University Place winters stress heat pump defrost systems. A failing defrost board can lead to ice buildup and complete system shutdown.

    Tight construction causing air quality problems
