Should we clean HVAC ducts professionally?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I’ve noticed a persistent cough and runny nose, especially when I’m in my bedroom. The HVAC unit in the hallway gets pretty dusty even though it’s supposed to be cleaned regularly. Is it safe for us to continue using this system, or should I insist on getting the ducts professionally cleaned?

Absolutely! Given the situation you described and considering the recent dust storm, it's crucial to address potential issues within your HVAC system. The persistent cough and runny nose could be indicative of airborne particles being circulated throughout your home via your ductwork.
In Dubai/UAE, regular maintenance is key for ensuring a healthy indoor environment. According to local regulations, HVAC systems should be inspected and cleaned at least annually to prevent the accumulation of dust, mold spores, and other allergens that can cause respiratory issues. The recent storm might have exacerbated any existing problems in your ducts. Inspecting the condition of your ductwork is essential to identify if they are severely dusty or if there's evidence of water damage leading to potential mold growth. This is where professional inspection comes into play. These experts can use specialized equipment to thoroughly examine your system and provide recommendations based on their findings. If it’s been a while since your last inspection, now might be the perfect time. Professional duct cleaning in Dubai/UAE typically involves vacuuming the interior of the ducts, washing or dry-cleaning components that can be accessed, and sometimes applying disinfectants to kill any lingering germs or mold spores. While you can clean some parts of the system yourself, such as filters and registers, complete ductwork cleaning is best left to professionals. If after inspection it's determined that your ducts are in need of cleaning, don't hesitate to have them done. Doing so will not only improve the air quality but could also enhance the efficiency of your HVAC unit by ensuring a smooth flow of conditioned air throughout your home. Remember, maintaining a healthy indoor environment is vital for everyone’s well-being.
