Short Hills started as a planned community. Stewart Hartshorn began buying land here in 1877 and built the train station at his own expense two years later. That original neighborhood is now the Short Hills Park Historic District, with 125 Queen Anne and Shingle-style buildings. About a quarter of all homes in Short Hills were built before 1940, and the median home dates to 1958.
The houses are big, too. The median Short Hills home has 10 rooms, and almost 9 out of 10 are single-family. A home that size almost always runs more than one HVAC system, often a basement unit plus one or two in the attic. That’s a lot of ductwork, and in an older house a lot of it was added long after the home was built.
Teardowns and new builds are part of the landscape here as well. If you’ve just built or gutted a home, know that the general contractor’s cleanup rarely includes the inside of the ducts. Drywall dust, sawdust, and debris from construction settle in the duct runs and blow out the first time the system runs. A post-construction cleaning, done to NADCA standards on every system, clears it out before you move in. Read more about common air duct cleaning scams before you hire anyone.
Water matters here too. When Ida dropped about eight inches of rain on Millburn Township in September 2021, crews answered more than 150 calls to pump out basements. If your basement has taken on water, the air handler and ductwork down there are worth having checked. Call (908) 755-2950 for a free estimate.
Do You Need Dryer Vent Cleaning Service? We're Here to Help
In a large Short Hills home, the laundry room is often on the second floor or in the middle of the house, so the dryer vent has to travel a long way to get outside. Long runs trap lint faster, and a clogged dryer vent is one of the most common, and most preventable, causes of house fires. We recommend a cleaning once a year. Call (908) 755-2950 to schedule dryer vent cleaning for your Short Hills home.
Signs That Your Chimney Needs Cleaning in Short Hills, NJ
Plenty of Short Hills homes have more than one fireplace, and every chimney you use needs its own cleaning each year. Older masonry chimneys in the historic district deserve extra attention. Watch for a burnt-wood smell when no fire is burning, or a damper that has turned black. Both point to creosote buildup, which is what causes chimney fires. Our team provides chimney cleaning throughout Short Hills.
