Telltale Signs You Need A NJ Air Duct Cleaning Contractor

By Ines Flores


It is most likely that you have not heard a mention of the air ducts and venting systems from the time they were installed. While these hidden components in your home help keep the heating and cooling systems running smoothly, people tend to forget about them meaning they only come to realize they need to be cleaned when something goes wrong. A NJ air duct cleaning contractor can help you remove the debris that has accumulated inside ductworks.

A timely inspection and cleanup is needed once in a while. Normally, it would require you to clean your ducts within every three to five years. There are some signs that will tell you it is time to clean your ductwork. If it has taken long and you have not cleaned the venting system, this calls for a cleanup.

The ducts help regulate air quality within a house and if neglected and not inspected or cleaned routinely, you may have to deal with problems ranging from allergy conditions to reduced efficiency of HVAC equipment. Failure to clean your ductwork will put you and the home at risk. If you notice that there is a trail of junk or a thick coating of dust inside the ductwork, it is time to clean it.

It is easy for a mouse to fit in the small openings of ductworks. In addition, rats possess sharp teeth and strong jaws, which gnaw on almost anything. When the rodent hair and fecal matter is released and spread to other areas of a house, a plethora of illnesses may arise. The people inside the house may experience health problems because of breathing contaminated air.

Molds and mildew release spores in the ductwork and these particles are spread to the rest of a home by the air conditioner or furnaces. This makes the people inside the house to suffer from allergic reactions and other respiratory problems. Some creatures like rodents may enter the ductwork and cause scurrying noises. Inside the vents, they release fecal matter, which clogs the passages.

A dirty ductwork will not extract these particles from a house and people may begin to experience allergies and respiratory problems. If there has been a remodeling or construction work in your home, it may have created more dust, dirt, and debris making the indoor air quality to deteriorate. After you have had a renovation or remodeling project, consider a cleanup of ductwork as your final step in the renovation work.

Unusually high heating bills is another sign that may indicate the need for cleanup of the ducts. If you realize that you are paying more on electricity and gas bills, there may be a blockage or leakage within the ductwork. You need to have it inspected properly by a qualified contractor. In most cases, blockage starts with filters that are clogged with debris and dust.

A dirty ductwork is long overdue for cleanup. When there is clogging, it means the HVAC system has to work hard in order to force air through the ductwork. This in turn allows for more energy use. If there is a defect within the ductwork such as a leak, it will allow much of the conditioned air to get to the attic areas and other spaces. It will take longer for the house to cool or heat up.
