Mold in the ductless mini-split
Every time I see a black spot somewhere in the house, I shudder, thinking that my mold situation is back to haunt me. I remember how I had allergies for months without thinking it could be something in my house, and all I did was change the digital thermostat settings. I had the same issue […]
