Description

The crew dives headfirst into a mystery that no homeowner wants to face: a house smelling like it's been sprayed by a skunk. What starts as a bizarre and embarrassing odor problem turns into a deep exploration of HVAC systems, air exchangers, furnace filters, and a little-known issue called Dirty Sock Syndrome. Along the way, JJ breaks down how skunk smells can travel through ventilation systems, how mold and dirty evaporator coils can mimic those odors, and why regular HVAC maintenance—like filter changes, MERV ratings, UV lights, and seasonal servicing—actually matters. There's also a crash course in central air conditioning, energy efficiency, and what first-time homeowners should realistically expect when upgrading their systems.
