HVAC video inspection

As an experienced HVAC cleaner, I’ve seen firsthand how video inspection technology has revolutionized our industry. This cutting-edge tool allows us to peer into the hidden depths of your home’s heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems with unprecedented clarity. In this article, we’ll explore the benefits of professional video inspection for chimneys, ductwork and vents and why it’s become an essential part of modern HVAC maintenance.

Video inspection involves using a small, high-resolution camera attached to a flexible cable.

Your chimney plays a vital role in venting harmful gases from your home. A video inspection of your chimney can reveal:

• Creosote buildup
• Cracks or damage to the flue liner
• Obstructions like bird nests or debris
• Signs of water damage or leaks

By identifying these issues early, we can prevent dangerous situations like chimney fires or carbon monoxide leaks. We use professional video inspection equipment to inspect fireplace flues. A monitor is set up in the living area next to the fireplace and a camera system is sent up the chimney’s flue to check for gaps, cracks, voids or other abnormalities. On the monitor you can see the interior of the chimney flue as the camera goes up the chimney. All chimneys, including the chimney for your furnace, should be inspected annually, with cleaning performed as needed.

Your home’s ductwork is like its circulatory system, distributing heated or cooled air throughout the house. Your HVAC system will gather dust and dirt over time that will negatively affect your health. Video inspection of ductwork can uncover:

• Dust and debris accumulation
• Mold growth
• Gaps or disconnections in duct sections
• Pest infestations

Addressing these issues can dramatically improve your indoor air quality and system efficiency. With video inspection, we can pinpoint exactly where cleaning or repairs are needed, saving time and money.

Proper ventilation is crucial for maintaining a healthy home environment. Video inspection of vents and exhaust systems helps us:

• Verify proper installation and connections
• Detect blockages or damage
• Identify areas of moisture accumulation
• Assess the condition of vent flaps or covers

By ensuring your vents and exhausts are functioning correctly, we can prevent issues like backdrafting, which can introduce harmful gases back into your living space. While similar to ductwork inspection, a focused video inspection of your ducts can reveal:

1. The effectiveness of previous cleaning efforts
2. Areas of air leakage
3. The condition of duct insulation
4. Signs of corrosion or rust in metal ducts

This detailed view allows us to develop a targeted cleaning and maintenance plan, ensuring your ducts are operating at peak efficiency.

In my years as an HVAC professional, I’ve seen video inspection transform our ability to maintain and optimize heating and cooling systems. From chimneys to ductwork, vents to ducts, this technology allows us to provide more thorough, efficient, and effective service.

Regular video inspections should be part of your home maintenance routine. They not only ensure the longevity and efficiency of your HVAC system but also contribute to a healthier, safer living environment for you and your family.

Don’t wait for problems to arise – schedule a video inspection of your HVAC system today. It’s an investment in your home’s comfort, efficiency, and safety that pays dividends for years to come.
