Quotes from the episode: "Ducts matter. Nobody cares much about them until something goes wrong." "HVAC systems are designed assuming clean, bare sheet metal." "Even a small layer of dust can become a mountain range to an air molecule." "Think like an air molecule." In this episode, Bill speaks with Dan Stradford of Action Duct Cleaning about what really happens inside HVAC duct systems over time and why cleaning can matter more than many people realize. Dan shares how the duct cleaning industry evolved from its "wild west" early days into a more standardized field through NADCA, with better equipment, training, and certification practices. Dan explains that even a thin layer of dust can disrupt airflow, increase turbulence, raise static pressure, and reduce system efficiency. Drawing from NADCA energy studies, he describes how cleaning returns, supplies, fans, coils, and air handlers each contributed measurable performance improvements, including major reductions in fan and compressor energy use. The conversation also covers how HVAC professionals can evaluate duct-cleaning contractors, when homeowners or building owners should consider cleaning, and why ductwork deserves more attention as a hidden yet critical part of indoor air quality, comfort, and system performance.   Dan'sLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dan-stradford-b7509123/   The research paper we reference: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378778824012635   Dan's company: https://actionduct.com/   The video Dan referenced: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkGl7zljqN8   The National Air Duct Cleaners Association: https://nadca.com/       This episode was recorded in May 2026.

In this rerun episode of Home in Progress, sponsored by RepcoLite Paints and Benjamin Moore, Dan Hansen opens with a personal update about his golden retriever, Maggie, whose health emergency led to a change in this week's schedule. From there, the episode revisits a practical homeowner question: does air duct cleaning actually reduce dust in the home?Dan shares listener feedback and real-world experiences with duct cleaning, noting that while some homeowners notice a cleaner smell or short-term improvement, most do not report a dramatic, game-changing reduction in dust. He explains when duct cleaning may be worth considering, especially for allergy sufferers, homes that have recently gone through renovation work, and households with pets that shed heavily. He also offers a simple DIY inspection tip using an inexpensive snake camera so homeowners can see what is actually inside their ducts before spending money on a cleaning service.The second half of the episode features highlights from Dan's conversation with painter Keegan Summers of Vivid Creative Contracting. Keegan talks about growing up in a fourth-generation painting family, stepping away for college and the Air Force, and eventually finding meaning and purpose in the trades. The conversation covers common DIY painting mistakes, how to fix paint problems, the importance of prep work, and what homeowners often misunderstand about professional painters.Keegan also shares practical advice on cabinet painting, including multi-stage cleaning, sanding, and the amount of prep required for a long-lasting finish. He discusses favorite tools and products, including microfiber rollers and Benjamin Moore Scuff-X, and makes a strong case for young people considering the trades before taking on major college debt.Timestamps00:00 Welcome and Rerun Announcement00:33 Maggie's Health Update02:33 Why This Week's Episode Is a Rerun03:17 Recapping the Dust Problem04:32 The Reality of Air Duct Cleaning06:36 Is Duct Cleaning Worth the Money?07:44 A Simple DIY Duct Inspection Tip09:08 Meet Painter Keegan Summers09:56 Growing Up in a Painting Family11:43 College, the Air Force, and a Career Detour14:33 Finding Meaning in Trade Work16:09 Why Purpose Matters in Your Work19:26 Back from the Break19:44 What Homeowners Misunderstand About Painters20:00 Common DIY Painting Mistakes21:35 How to Fix Paint Problems23:05 Bats on the Ladder25:05 Favorite Tools, Rollers, and Paint Products30:08 Cabinet Painting Prep and Process34:29 Life Beyond the Job36:19 Why the Trades Can Beat College Debt39:12 Wrap-Up and Final Offers

Send us a textEver wish someone would tell you the truth about breastfeeding without the guilt or the gadgets? We bring on Samantha, a seasoned NICU nurse and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, to cut through the noise and give you a clear path forward—whether you're nursing, pumping, combo feeding, or bottle feeding from day one.We start with the realities most classes skip: colostrum is enough for many newborns, full milk often takes five to seven days, and supply typically regulates around six to eight weeks. Samantha shares what successful latch actually looks like, why positioning changes everything, and how to listen for swallows so you know milk is moving. She explains how inconsistent pumping, poorly fitted flanges, or relying on wearables without proper setup can invite clogs and mastitis—and how to avoid those traps with simple, consistent routines.Funding cuts and mixed hospital advice make support feel out of reach, so we break down practical, affordable ways to get help. You'll hear why a single, trusted guide can beat a dozen conflicting opinions, why prenatal education is the highest ROI investment you can make, and how to advocate for your plan when policies or timelines get in the way. We also tackle the hot topics: oversupply isn't the goal, pumping is breastfeeding, nipple confusion is often overstated, and having donor milk or a small formula backup can protect both intake and your mental health. Hydration, nutrition, and rest matter more than your app's timer—and any amount of your milk is a win.Leave with five grounded basics that move the needle: get support early, prioritise positioning, master an effective latch, follow baby-led cues over rigid timing, and simplify your tools. If you're ready to trade stress for support and perfectionism for progress, this conversation will help you build a feeding plan that fits your life.If this episode helps you breathe a little easier, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs it, and leave a review so more parents can find real, judgement-free support.Support the show

In this short podcast episode, Bryan explains how duct tape got its name and why it shouldn't actually be used on ducts. Duct tape is a versatile home DIY-fix tool, but despite its name, it wasn't initially made to seal ducts at all. In 1943, we were in the thick of World War II, and ammo shipments were sealed with wax and paper tape. These were often not durable or difficult to open. Johnson & Johnson developed a tape with rubber adhesive on a cotton duck cloth backing (which was already widely used for military uniforms and tent fabrics). This new tape was nicknamed "duck" tape due to the material and its waterproof abilities (like the waterfowl). A woman named Vesta Stoudt informed President FDR about duct tape, and the War Production Board began using it in wartime supply packaging. After the war, America had a housing boom in the 1950s, which included the demand for forced-air heating and cooling systems. Marketers thought the tape could seal the ducts in those homes, so they changed the color to match sheet metal and rebranded it as "duct tape." In the 1960s, this tape was available in retail outlets with the "duct tape" branding. Unfortunately, in tests by the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, duct tape failed miserably at sealing the ducts because the rubber adhesive dries out under heat, and dust weakens the adhesive. As a result, many building codes ban duct tape on ducts (spearheaded by California). Instead, UL-listed foil tape and mastic are approved for sealing ducts. However, duct tape still became famous for its versatility as a patching material. It's prevalent in pop culture and has been used in television shows and even in space.   Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

In this short podcast, Bryan talks about the hidden cost of killing radiant load, especially when it comes to installing radiant barriers in attics.  We sometimes get service calls about ducts sweating when they never used to sweat. If there are no problems with the system (i.e., the refrigerant charge, static pressure, airflow, supply air temperature, and blower speeds are all good), this type of situation can be a head-scratcher. Ask a customer if they've made any changes to the attic or equipment since the last service call, and there's a great chance they'll say something about adding a radiant barrier to keep the attic cooler. Ducts pick up heat from the surfaces in the attic. Radiant heat can come from the sun, but visible light isn't required for radiation to happen, and it can occur between objects. A radiant barrier prevents solar heat absorbed by the roof decking from radiating onto attic surfaces, but it doesn't change the dew point. When attic surfaces are cooler and the cool air passes through, the surface temperature drops below the dew point. Condensation happens on the surface; when moisture accumulates, it can lead to other problems, like the dirty M word. Moisture issues happen with low sensible load and high latent load, especially in times like hurricane season in Florida. Adding heat to a space also makes it drier because it acts as a reheat source and drops the relative humidity. It also adds to the sensible load, leading to longer runtimes (better for comfort but more expensive in terms of energy). When we remove that radiant heat, we increase the risk of condensation and short runtimes. If moisture problems are caused by a radiant barrier, then the barrier will need to come out or the attic will need to be encapsulated and dehumidified.   Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

In this short podcast episode, Bryan explains how leaky ducts can lead to sweaty, uncomfortable houses. Moisture issues are common all across humid and "green-grass" climates in the United States. Hot, unconditioned attics and crawl spaces also often have high dew points, which can cause moisture problems in those spaces. Plants also release moisture, so agricultural communities also have those special considerations. There are several HVAC and building design factors that can prevent or worsen growth from moisture problems. Duct leakage is one of those factors. Return and supply leaks can cause moisture to enter the ductwork. Return leaks suck in air from around the leak. Supply leaks create a pressure differential that can cause mechanically-driven infiltration (MAD-AIR); when a supply duct leak puts the attic under positive pressure, somewhere else has to go under negative pressure. There are lots of gaps and cracks around boots and can lights, which provides pathways for hot, moist air to seep into the envelope. Longer runtimes and keeping the fan on will worsen these conditions. We need to control the source of moisture and then seal the ducts and boots before we focus on the equipment. Visual inspections at the connections and boots will go a long way, but there are also plenty of tools for testing duct leakage, especially by Retrotec and TEC. You can also measure house pressure to the outdoors with the air handler running and all the doors closed, but that's a qualitative measurement that has a lot of other variables to consider.    Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

Sure, today's going to be decent, but I'm looking at 69° on Friday and getting ready for a ride! Weather will definitely be better later this week. In the news this morning, a possible recall may be coming for thousands of Ford F-150 trucks, 23 & Me is filing for bankruptcy, a nurse in Monroe County is being accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a patient, a new craft beer festival is coming to the Wisconsin Dells, and the former Minnesota Senator accused of soliciting a minor for prostitution is staying in jail for now. In sports, the Bucks lost to the Suns last night, MLB opening day is just a few sleeps away, JuJu Watkins is out for the rest of the season with a leg injury, and the men's March Madness Sweet 16 kicks off on Thursday. Elsewhere in sports, now that a bunch of teams have been eliminated from the tournament, college basketball coaches are heading all over the place for a new gig. And the Hulkster is losing massive amounts of popularity, apparently. We let you know what's new on New Release Tuesday and we talked to Grant Bilse of the Wisco Sports Show now that he's back from his trip to Mexico. Is your home full of dust? Here's five tips to help clean things up a bit this Spring. Are you a fan of Fireball? Are you over 90 years old? Well, you could win a "lifetime supply" of the whisky. Have you heard of the term "Boomerasking"?? It has little to do with someone's age, but more to do with wanting to talk about yourself, rather than listen to someone else's story. These videos always get me in the #Feels…a retired Military K-9 & his Army Veteran handler were recently reunited and the clips are emotional! Plus, a funny story about a goat & a kangaroo that worked together to escape the farm.

In this episode of the HVAC School Podcast, Bryan interviews Zachary Ortwine, a duct cleaning professional who provides insights into ethical duct cleaning practices. The conversation delves deep into the complexities of cleaning different types of ductwork, the importance of proper assessment, and the potential challenges in maintaining indoor air quality. Zach emphasizes the critical role of thorough inspection and honest communication with clients. He explains that not all duct systems are equally cleanable, and professionals must carefully assess factors like duct material, contaminant type, and cleaning feasibility. Metal ducts can be cleaned more aggressively, while fiberglass ducts require a more delicate approach. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding the underlying issues that contribute to indoor air quality problems, such as system design, maintenance, and home living conditions. The podcast explores the evolution of duct cleaning technologies and safety considerations. Zach shares insights into modern fiberglass materials, which have improved safety compared to older versions, and discusses the importance of proper cleaning and coating techniques. The conversation also touches on broader indoor air quality challenges, including the impact of tighter building envelopes, ventilation issues, and the potential health risks of prolonged exposure to indoor contaminants. Key Topics Covered: Ethical considerations in duct cleaning Assessment techniques for determining cleanability Different duct materials (metal, flex, fiberglass) and cleaning approaches Indoor air quality challenges in modern homes NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaners Association) standards Importance of technician certification and experience Ventilation and its impact on indoor air quality Proper testing and verification of cleaning results Coating techniques for fiberglass ducts Misconceptions about antimicrobial treatments   Learn more about NADCA and certified professionals at https://nadca.com/.  Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

In this short podcast episode, Zach joins Bryan to answer a common duct maintenance question: Should I fog or sanitize my ducts? The North American Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) outlines the uses of chemical products. Adding chemicals is usually a last resort in flex or sheet metal (externally wrapped) duct systems; they should NOT be used on ducts with internal liners or are made of duct board or any other material with porous surfaces.  Fog is typically applied while a vacuum is running at the opposite end of the duct. It liquefies on surfaces, and a lot of contractors don't go in and dry off the duct surfaces. It's difficult to coat the entire interior of a duct system with the chemical to make it as effective as possible, and the residue creates a moist, sticky film that actually encourages microbial growth in the ductwork. On top of that, some people may be sensitive to the chemicals.  In many cases, replacing ductwork that has been confirmed to have microbial growth is more reliable. Chemical duct sanitation often has more of a perceived benefit than long-term results. The use of chemical cleaners in ductwork is similar to that of using some line set flushes without forcing a solid pig through the line set to pick up the residue afterward. Ultimately, the customer has to make an informed decision based on the problem and knowledge of the benefits and drawbacks of chemical solutions.   NADCA's white papers, including "Chemical Product Applications in HVAC Systems," are available at https://nadca.com/industry-professionals/nadca-white-papers.  Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

Send us a textWelcome to our second 'Breastfeeding Q&A' episode with Trisha & Cynthia. We open with an inspiring success story of a mother whose baby did not start breastfeeding for the first time until around five months of age. Additionally, we answer the following questions:I tried everything to increase my supply and stumped every lactation consultant I met with; is this going to happen to me again and what could have been the cause of my low milk supply?I have low milk supply and recurrent plugged ducts. My lactation consultant told me to pump after feeding but won't that increase my plugged ducts? How do I increase my supply and prevent plugged ducts?From a nurse: In my hospital, we teach moms that babies are sleepy in the first 24 hours and won't eat very much, but also we tell them to wake the baby every 2-3 hours to feed them so they don't get low blood sugar. Help! I feel like I am confusing mothers. Lastly, we answer quickies including: what are the best breastfeeding snacks, are nipple shields harmful, does milk supply drop in pregnancy, how do I increase milk supply on one side, how to prevent thrush, what's the best breast pump, and more!Listen here to the May 2024 Breastfeeding Q&AJaundice & Breastfeeding: When grouped by number of breastfeeds in the first 24 hours, exaggerated jaundice on day six occurred in:28% who breastfed 0-2 times24.5% of babies who breastfed 3-4 times15% of babies who breastfed 5-6 times12% of babies who breastfed 7-8 times0% of the babies who breastfed 9-11 times(Yamauchi and Yamanouchi, 1990)Thanks to everyone who called in!

This episode features an insightful conversation with Brynn Cooksey, an experienced HVAC contractor and trainer from Southeast Michigan. Brynn shares his expertise in conducting proper load calculations, sizing the equipment correctly, improving duct design, and addressing common issues contractors face. Brynn emphasizes the importance of performing accurate load calculations, especially in older housing stock where equipment is frequently oversized by 50% or more. He discusses how oversized equipment leads to short cycling, poor efficiency, and increased utility costs for homeowners. His approach involves educating customers by involving them in the measurement process and using metrics like "duct deficiency" to demonstrate the inefficiencies of their current systems. The discussion then shifts to heat pumps and the unique challenges of implementing them in cold climates like Michigan. Brynn advocates for a "dual fuel" approach, utilizing heat pumps for efficiency while supplementing with gas heat during extremely cold temperatures. He stresses the necessity of a tight, well-insulated thermal envelope and proper duct design to ensure optimal heat pump performance. Topics covered include: Conducting blower door tests for accurate load calculations Downsizing equipment and solving duct issues in retrofit applications The "duct deficiency" metric for demonstrating system inefficiencies Aeroseal duct sealing: benefits, limitations, and proper application Identifying and addressing cracked heat exchangers due to airflow issues Training sales teams on a hands-on, educational sales process The importance of building science education for contractors Overcoming hesitancy in trusting load calculation results Brynn encourages contractors to embrace building science principles, trust the load calculation process, and focus on system design rather than simply swapping out equipment. By proving these methods to themselves, contractors can transform their businesses and deliver true value to customers through improved comfort, efficiency, and cost savings.   Learn more about HVAC U and its course offerings at https://www.hvactrain.com/.  Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?
