manholt Report post Posted July 9, 2016 First posting did not post, so here it is again! Hi guys. I have bits of aluminum in all my air vents. They are half inch up to 5" x 3" and every thing between. Any idea of what might be causing this? Also, what I can do to fix it, short off tearing down the celling? ACs are working fine and cooling coach as they should. Carl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hermanmullins Report post Posted July 9, 2016 Now you should remember where you hid your leftovers. I think it may have been when your refrigerator was on the blink. Herman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted July 9, 2016 Herman. I knew this was going to happen... However, my fridge has never been a problem ! What I cook, I eat...no left overs! Carl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jleamont Report post Posted July 10, 2016 Well, sometimes they are caused by mice eating up the aluminum. My guess is it is just material failing from age. Take a vent off and look up in there. I also have aluminum in mine, just not dropping any. I just have my vents rattling when air blows thought them. I'd rather have your problem. We need to exchange recipes....no you need to leave some recipes with me, my DW and I have similar palettes to you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Walt2137 Report post Posted July 10, 2016 The aluminum tape was used to seal off where the register hole was cut in the duct line and it's getting old and turning loose, some of your AC air will bypass the register and go in the ceiling if not resealed with new aluminum tape. Just pull the registers and retape . walt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted July 10, 2016 Walt. And just how do you do that? Pull the AC units? Carl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
