Should I clean ducts or hire professionals?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I noticed a lot of dirt accumulating in the vents of my condo's living room. The AC seems to be working harder than usual too. Should I consider hiring professionals to clean the ducts or is it something I can handle myself?

Absolutely, the accumulation of dust and dirt in your ducts can indeed affect the performance of your air conditioning system. In dubai uae, it is a common issue due to our climate and occasional dust storms. In fact, i've seen many instances where clients report their AC units working harder than usual, just like you're experiencing.

Duct cleaning can be a bit more complex than you might think. While it’s possible that some light cleaning could help with immediate relief, professional duct cleaners have the necessary tools and expertise to ensure thorough cleaning, which is crucial for maintaining good indoor environmental quality (IEQ). In dubai, regulations like those from the Dubai Municipality emphasize the importance of proper maintenance and cleanliness of HVAC systems to protect public health.

If you decide to take on this task yourself, here are a few tips: first, wear protective gear such as gloves and masks. Second, use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter for thorough cleaning. However, if your ducts are long or complex, it might be difficult to reach all areas effectively. Professional cleaners have specialized tools like brushes and vacuums that can navigate tight spaces.

It’s also important to check the condition of your air filters regularly; they should be replaced or cleaned according to manufacturer recommendations. In fact, in dubai uae, it is recommended to change them every 3-6 months depending on usage.

Considering the complexity involved and the potential health benefits, i'd strongly recommend a professional inspection and cleaning.
