With August heat waves rolling through Randolph, our team is reminding homeowners with older masonry ducts—common in homes near the Blue Hills or on North Main Street—to schedule a pre-summer air duct inspection. Dust, pollen, and historic brickwork buildup can cut cooling efficiency by up to 30% if left unchecked.
Why Randolph’s Older Ducts Need a Summer Spot-Check
Randolph’s historic homes, especially those with original brick-lined air ducts near the downtown or along Pleasant Street, trap more summer allergens and moisture than newer systems. These ducts often feature porous masonry that absorbs humidity, creating the perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew. Before the next heat wave hits, check for musty odors near vents or uneven cooling in rooms like the attic or sunroom. If your Randolph home was built before 1980, your ducts may need modern duct liner restoration to seal gaps and improve airflow. Schedule a free estimate today via contact to see if your system qualifies for our summer maintenance special.
The August Air Duct Cleaning Checklist for Randolph Homeowners
Start by replacing HVAC filters—Randolph’s summer pollen counts spike near the wetlands, so a fresh filter keeps outdoor allergens out. Next, inspect duct registers for visible dust or debris; if you see buildup, it’s time for a professional clean. For homes with historic masonry ducts, like those in the Laurel Park neighborhood, we recommend adding a moisture barrier treatment to prevent future mold growth.
