Should I clean ducts to improve air quality?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storms we had last week, I noticed a lot of dust accumulating in the vents throughout our living room. The air feels thicker and less fresh, even with the AC running. My kids have been complaining more about coughing and sneezing lately too. Should I consider having the ducts cleaned professionally to prevent these issues from recurring?

Absolutely, cleaning your ducts can significantly enhance the indoor air quality in your home. The dust storms that we've experienced recently have definitely contributed to a build-up of debris and allergens within your HVAC system. This accumulation can affect both the performance of your AC unit and the overall comfort level of your living space.
In Dubai/UAE, it’s important to adhere to local regulations for maintaining indoor environments. According to the UAE Building Code (UAE Standard 231-2019), regular maintenance checks are crucial to ensure optimal functionality of mechanical ventilation systems like ductwork. This includes cleaning and inspection intervals which can help in reducing contaminants. The dust you noticed in your vents is not just an aesthetic issue; it's a sign that the air circulating through your home might be carrying more particles than necessary. This can certainly exacerbate respiratory issues, especially for children who are more susceptible to allergies and irritants. It’s no surprise then that they've been complaining about coughing and sneezing. Given the current situation, I highly recommend considering a professional duct cleaning service. These experts have the right tools and techniques to thoroughly clean your HVAC system without causing damage. They can also inspect for signs of mold or other contaminants which might not be immediately visible but could pose serious health risks.

So, don’t wait for another dust storm to act. Give your home’s air a fresh start with professional duct cleaning today! |
