After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a thick layer of dust build-up on the vents in my living room. It’s really concerning because my kids have been complaining about having more frequent coughing fits lately. How urgent is it to clean the ducts in our apartment to ensure better air quality?

Duct cleaning is definitely something to consider after the dust storm we've had. In Dubai and the UAE, the environment can be quite dusty due to weather patterns, construction sites, and even sandstorms. With kids complaining about coughing fits, it's important to look into your ducts as a potential source of irritants.
In the UAE, there are no strict regulations mandating regular duct cleaning for residential properties, but it is highly recommended, especially if you notice visible dust or debris in vents, as you've seen. This build-up can introduce allergens and pollutants directly into your living space, affecting air quality and potentially worsening respiratory issues. Given that you’ve noticed a thick layer of dust on the vents, it's prudent to have an inspection done by a professional. Saniservice is a company known for their expertise in this area, so they might be able to offer a thorough assessment and recommend the necessary cleaning services.

These can exacerbate respiratory conditions and allergies, especially in children. Professional duct cleaning can significantly improve indoor air quality by removing these contaminants from your system. Regular maintenance of your HVAC system also ensures that the fan and filters are not overloaded with debris, which could lead to reduced efficiency or even damage over time. In conclusion, it would be wise to act promptly to address this issue, ensuring better health for your family amidst our dusty environment. |
