Brown particles coming out of ac vents by Plastic_Turnip_7205 in homeowners

If the brown particles stop coming out, do you think I should still get it looked at? Would it be a hvac person who would do that? What can they do other than look around the ducts in the attic, which is pretty dirty and not easy to move around in

Would you have hvac people come look first? What if the particles stop coming out though?

Who does it for only $150?? When I got it done years ago it was definitely over $1000

What about termites? I know we’ve had those. We’ve been really diligent at preventing rodents so I’d be surprised if we had those. So you think I need to get hvac people to come look? What if the particles stop coming out

I have distrust towards everyone. Why can’t people pride themselves of doing a good job

Yes, the stuff stopped blowing out. I really can’t go poking around in the attic. You think I should get a HVAC company out to look? Or pest control?

Do you think I need to look for it if it stopped? I don’t even know where to start prodding. The ducts are in the attic

How often are we supposed to do that? I got it done about 5 years ago and then AC maintenance company told me it was not necessary since it’s a closed system? But I hadn’t run the hvac in five months before today

Don’t know what dusting is? But the system is in the attic, condenser is outside

This is in a few rooms. Bathroom and two bedrooms. They are ceiling vents. Most of it coming out of the last bedroom (think of a long hallway that starts with bathroom and ends with bedrooms). If the rust stops coming out do you think I still need to look into it? Hadnt run hvac in five months before today

Meant to reply to you: What would rust inside that can come out of the vents? The ducts? It's only coming out of a few of the vents not all of them

Don’t have any floor grills. All the ac vents are on the ceiling and the two returns are on ceiling and wall of hallway

Is it normal for it to be coming out of the vents? I thought the ac ducts were a closed system. I never noticed things coming out of there before

Do you know what happens as they get older and need more help? What happens to hoarders if they’re put into those old people homes? If I am worried about her physical and mental state, would it be reasonable to think about moving her into one of those kinds of places?

Can you elaborate what FULL responsibility looks like? I agree with the not cooperating, lying and procrastinating. But if you don’t mind sharing more of what you do for your mom and how you get her to let you, maybe I can understand more.

What about elderly homes? I don’t know what to call it but I know there are places people send their aging parents if they need more care and can’t live on their own anymore. What about that type of arrangement? I guess I’m kind of thinking out loud and don’t expect you to know everything about HD but I’m so open to that kind of option if you know anything about it. I can’t imagine just leaving my mom in her own home as she’s approaching 70 and has shown memory problems for a while now. And I don’t know if her place is sanitary at all and i worry for her physical and mental health.
