Should I clean ducts professionally due to dust storm?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent heavy dust storm that hit Dubai, I noticed a lot of debris stuck in the vents throughout our apartment. Particularly, there's a significant amount of dirt collected in the ducts leading from the master bedroom. My kids have been coughing more than usual lately and I’m worried it could be because of all this dust being circulated. Given how long we’ve lived here (two years), should I consider having the ducts cleaned professionally?

Absolutely, given the recent dust storm and the noticeable increase in debris within your ducts, it's highly recommended that you consider having them cleaned professionally. The UAE, including Dubai, experiences varying climatic conditions which can lead to an accumulation of particulates such as dust, pollen, and even sand particles from storms. These factors contribute significantly to poor indoor air quality (IAQ), especially in enclosed spaces like your apartment.

In the UAE, there are no specific regulations mandating regular duct cleaning; however, it is advisable due to the region’s environmental conditions. Dust and debris can accumulate over time, leading to a myriad of issues ranging from reduced HVAC efficiency to compromised IAQ. The coughing experienced by your kids might be directly linked to the dust being recirculated through the air vents.

Professional duct cleaning services are equipped with specialized tools and techniques that ensure thorough cleaning without causing any damage to your system. A clean and well-maintained ductwork can help improve airflow, reduce energy consumption, and maintain a healthier indoor environment.

It’s not just about the recent storm; regular cleaning is important for ongoing IAQ management in Dubai’s climate. The accumulation of dust and other particulates can lead to increased allergens, which could exacerbate respiratory issues in your family members. Given that you’ve lived there for two years, it might be a good idea to have a professional inspection done now and possibly set up a maintenance plan.

Don't hesitate to contact a reputable company like Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or email them at hello@saniservice.com for more information.

Remember, investing in professional duct cleaning could save you from potential health issues and costly repairs down the line.

Taking care of your HVAC system is crucial for maintaining a comfortable living environment, especially during periods of extreme weather like dust storms.
