Myth: ‘My ducts are fine if I don’t see dust’: What Newburyport homeowners get wrong about fall air quality
Most Newburyport homeowners assume their air ducts are clean unless they see visible dust. But by fall, your system has been running nonstop since spring, pulling in pollen, mold spores from damp basements, and even debris from open windows during summer storms. The real red flags? Uneven heating, a musty smell when your furnace kicks on, or allergies flaring up after you’ve changed filters. These aren’t normal, especially in older homes near the Merrimack River, where humidity lingers longer. Learn the 7 signs your Newburyport home needs cleaning before winter and act before your system becomes a breeding ground for bacteria.
