Should I clean HVAC ducts professionally?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm last week, I noticed a thick layer of dirt collecting on the windowsills and furniture in my living room, which is right next to the central air duct. The AC seems to be working overtime too, but it’s not cooling as well as before. How urgent is it for me to get the ducts cleaned professionally?

Absolutely, it's highly recommendable to get your HVAC ducts cleaned professionally. The dust storm you experienced last week has likely contributed significantly to the dirt and debris accumulating inside your system. In dubai, it’s not uncommon for harsh weather conditions like sandstorms to deposit a substantial amount of particulates into your indoor air.
In the UAE, there are no specific laws mandating regular duct cleaning but maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for health and comfort, especially in such a dry climate where dust and allergens can be particularly prevalent. The thick layer you've observed on your windowsills and furniture could just as easily be sitting inside your ductwork, potentially affecting the performance of your air conditioning system. Your AC working overtime but not cooling effectively could indeed be due to restricted airflow from accumulated dirt. This is a common issue that HVAC professionals can address during a cleaning session. They will use specialized equipment like vacuum cleaners and brushes specifically designed for duct work, ensuring nooks and crannies are properly cleaned out. Don't underestimate the benefits of professional duct cleaning; it not only improves air quality but also enhances your system's efficiency, reducing energy costs in the long run. Plus, a clean HVAC system is less prone to mold growth, which can be particularly important given the climate here where relative humidity levels can be quite low. If you're unsure or notice any persistent issues, consider scheduling an inspection and cleaning with a reputable company like Saniservice. They offer reliable services tailored for local conditions.

Remember, maintaining your HVAC system is key to ensuring optimal performance and a healthy living environment in Dubai. |
