Most families in Nebraska have already begun to rely on their furnaces to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures in their homes. Those who haven’t scheduled their annual maintenance visits may find that they’re in for some trouble, though. Read on to find out about a few of the most common signs that it’s time for a professional Furnace Cleaning in Omaha NE to decide whether it’s worth calling a maintenance company.
Mold in the Ducts
It’s not uncommon for mold to grow in heating ducts, as these areas tend to be moist, dark, and warm, offering a perfect environment for growing mold colonies. These may not be noticeable during the spring, summer, and fall when the home’s heating ducts are not in use but now that it’s winter, homeowners should pay attention to the warning signs of mold. If one or more members of the household are struggling with allergies, asthma, or another respiratory problem that seems like it has come out of nowhere, it’s worth getting those ducts cleaned out to make sure it isn’t being caused by mold buildup.
Noticeable Dust
Homeowners who can visibly see dust and other air pollutants coming out of their vents when they turn on their heat are most likely overdue for a professional Furnace Cleaning in Omaha NE. Even if the vents don’t emit sudden clouds of dust, if there is a fine layer of it on counters, tabletops, and furnaces within a few days of cleaning it’s worth considering whether it may be coming from the heating system. That dust is more than just annoying, as it can also wind up clogging air filters and dramatically impact heating systems’ efficiency, so don’t hesitate to call for cleaning.
Rodents or Insects
Families that have recently experienced a rodent or an insect infestation may want to have their heating systems cleaned regardless of how recently they’ve called for maintenance. Of course, the first step to take is to get rid of the pests, but once this has been accomplished, it’s important to clean out the ducts, as they often leave waste and other debris inside of homes’ heating systems.
