IF YOU AREA LITTLEUNLUCKY

BECAUSE IT CAN LOOK LIKE THIS

Efficient HVAC System Defined as a system which produces cooled air at a minimum relativehumidity of 60% or less Anything above this threshold or higher can produce condensation inthe system which produces moisture in the form of water drippingon to the ceiling below the ductwork Photos in following slide show the results of this condensation beingproduced by an inefficient HVAC system Discolored ceiling tiles or drywall are not always the result of aleaking roof
