Should I clean AC ducts myself or call a pro?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a significant amount of dirt and debris accumulating behind the air vents in my living room. The AC unit also seems to be less efficient lately, blowing out warmer air than usual despite the settings. Given that we’ve lived here for 2 years and just noticed this issue, should I attempt duct cleaning myself or is it better to call a professional?

Cleanin AC ducts can be a tricky task and requires some know-how to do it properly. In the UAE, particulates like dust, pollen, and even sand from desert storms can accumulate over time, leading to inefficiency in your air conditioning system. This could explain why you're noticing warmer air blowin out despite havin the unit set on cool.

Given that it's been just 2 years since you moved into your home and you're now seeing these issues, it might be best to call a professional for inspection and cleaning. Professionals have access to specialized tools and equipment that can effectively remove all the dirt and debris from the ducts without damaging them. In Dubai and the UAE, regulations mandate regular maintenance of HVAC systems to ensure optimal performance and indoor air quality.

If you decide to go with a pro, make sure they are licensed and certified in the UAE. Look for a company that has good reviews and experience dealin with local conditions. They can also help identify any other issues that might be contributtin to your system's inefficiency.

DIY methods like using vacuum cleaners or compressed air may not be enough to clean the entire length of the ductwork, especially those located in hard-to-reach areas behind vents. Moreover, improper cleaning could lead to damage and potential health risks from inhalin contaminated dust particles.

To get started, you can call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection and cleaning service. They offer specialized duct cleaning that will help improve your air quality and the overall efficiency of your AC unit.

Taking these steps can significantly improve the air quality in your home while ensuring you're adhering to local regulations and standards.
