Home Sweet Home

When firing up the furnace this winter, you may notice a burning smell coming from your air ducts. This is an indication of dust buildup in your home's ventilation system.

An easy way to tell if your system should be cleaned is to remove the vent with a screwdriver. If you see a collection of dust or mold, consider calling a professional HVAC system cleaning contractor.

Check that the company is a certified member of the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA), an organization that tests the knowledge of contractors for safe and effective HVAC cleaning.

For more information and to find a certified air duct cleaner near you, call NADCA at (202) 737-2926 or visit www.nadca.com. When getting your home ready for seasonal gatherings, don't forget to clean out your HVAC vents. They collect dust.
