Is duct cleaning urgently needed?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange odor lingering in my bedroom, especially at night. It's not as strong as mildew but definitely more than usual. The AC in my apartment seems to be working overtime too, which is unusual for this time of year. How urgent is it really to have the ducts cleaned?

The situation you're describing sounds concerning. It's important to address potential issues like the lingering odor and overworking of your AC system before they escalate. In Dubai, the climate can lead to rapid growth of mold and other contaminants within HVAC systems, especially after rainfall events.

Given that you've noticed unusual odors and increased AC activity, it could be wise to get a professional inspection done as soon as possible. The UAE doesn't have specific regulations mandating duct cleaning but ensuring your air quality is top-notch is crucial for both comfort and health reasons. A professional can assess the condition of your ductwork, identify any potential issues like mold growth or dirt accumulation, and recommend appropriate cleaning procedures.

Dust and debris in the ducts can lead to poor indoor air quality, which might explain why you're experiencing these symptoms. Over time, such accumulations can also hinder the efficiency of your AC system, causing it to work harder than necessary—something that's happening more now even though it’s not typically a hot season.

If you decide to take action, consider contacting companies like Saniservice who offer professional duct cleaning services in Dubai. Their expertise will ensure that your system is cleaned thoroughly and safely. Remember, regular maintenance is key to keeping your air quality at its best, particularly in areas prone to humidity and mold growth.

So, while I wouldn't say it's an emergency, addressing the issue promptly would be smart. You can call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation and to schedule an inspection if needed. Take care of your indoor environment – after all, good air quality is so vital.

Remember, staying proactive about maintenance in such situations prevents bigger problems down the line.
