Should I clean vents or call a pro?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the intense heat we had last week, I noticed a strange smell coming from the ventilation system in our living room. It’s not as strong as it was, but still there, especially when the AC is running. My kids have been coughing more lately, and I’m starting to wonder if it might be related to some dust or mold build-up in the vents. Can someone tell me if cleaning the coils myself would solve this issue or if we should call a professional?

Absolutely, it's wise to be cautious about the smells and increased coughing your kids are experiencing. In Dubai, like many places, poor indoor air quality can indeed stem from issues within your ventilation system. While cleaning the coils might seem manageable for some, there're several factors you should consider.
Firstly, in the UAE, especially during summer, high temperatures and humidity levels can lead to mold growth on cooling units. Mold spores are known irritants that could be contributing to respiratory issues among family members. It’s crucial to ensure your system is properly maintained, but if you've never done this before or aren't fully comfortable with the process, it might be better to call in a professional. Coil cleaning isn't just about removing dust; it also involves sanitizing and ensuring that all components are working optimally. If you try to do it yourself, there's always a risk of not reaching every nook and cranny where mold or other contaminants could be hiding. Furthermore, if the system has been running for months with accumulated dirt, it might require more than just a quick clean-up. Professionals like those at Saniservice (you can call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) have the right equipment and expertise to thoroughly inspect your system. They’ll be able to detect any underlying issues that could lead to future problems, ensuring long-term health benefits for your family. In Dubai, we see a lot of systems that are under-maintained due to busy schedules or lack of awareness about the importance of regular checks. Don't let this happen at your home. A professional inspection and cleaning can save you time and money in the long run by preventing costly repairs down the line. Remember, when it comes to indoor air quality, being proactive is key.
