Get Your Ducts in a Row

Removing a vent cover allows for a better look at your duct system.

Restoring air ducts is an errand best left to professionals but, fortunately, it can be relatively pain-free to determine if they are in need of a cleaning. Removing vent covers can give you a peek into the air duct system; when looking into the vent system you should be easily able to check for the dirt and debris that is circulating in the air you are breathing. Air filters can also be checked for contaminants. If either of these tasks results in unpleasant results you should contact a professional duct cleaning service like SERVPRO of East Windsor. You can take a glance inside your heater as well. The heat exchanger’s surface is running optimally if it is visibly clean. The unit’s blower blades must also be clean of dirt and oil.

With summer approaching (quickly) now would be a great time to check the air conditioning unit. The coils inside the air conditioner must be clear of dirt and dust. You can shine a flashlight on the unit’s cooling coils to see if the light is coming out the other end. The coil fins must be evenly spaced and free of bends or nicks. If any of the parts appear to be less than perfect give us call before it gets too hot. Don’t sweat issues with your air conditioner, we are here to help!

 Here is a quick introduction to the cleaning process used to make sure your ventilation system is running at maximum efficiency:

The first step is to check the air conditioner filter. If dirty, the filters will be cleaned or replaced. A dirty filter will minimize your unit’s efficiency and sully the air you breathe.

After ensuring the filters are perfect, we will clean the unit’s condenser coils. Clean condenser coils will maximize the unit’s energy efficiency. The SERVPRO of East Windsor expert will also check the lines carrying coolant to ensure you are getting the coldest air possible.

Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, we will test the AC unit. While running we are able to double check previous work and make sure everything is functioning well and the system is clean. If more work needs to be done (a broken part repaired) a SERVPRO of East Windsor professional will quickly find the issue and complete any necessary repairs.
