Is a duct cleaning necessary soon?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a strange smell lingering in my living room, especially when the air conditioning is on. The filters seemed pretty clean, but I’m starting to wonder if it’s coming from the ducts. How urgent do you think this issue is and should I schedule a cleaning soon?

Hey there! It's understandable to be concerned about the smell lingering even after cleaning your air conditioner filters. In Dubai and the UAE, indoor air quality can sometimes get affected by external factors like dust storms, but it's always good to address potential issues promptly.
Ductwork in buildings such as yours is a common spot for dirt, dust, and mold to accumulate over time, especially following events like the recent dust storm. This accumulation could be contributing to that strange smell you're noticing, particularly when your air conditioning is running. While it's good that your filters seem clean, they might not catch everything in the ducts. Given the specifics of the UAE and Dubai, we do have regulations regarding indoor environmental quality (IEQ) that businesses must adhere to, which can be a reference point for homeowners as well. Ensuring regular maintenance and cleaning of your HVAC system is key to maintaining a healthy environment within your home or workspace. If you're unsure about whether duct cleaning is necessary, I'd recommend scheduling a professional inspection first. These inspections are not only crucial but also required by law in some cases, especially if there's evidence of mold or if the HVAC system hasn't been maintained regularly. A professional can assess the condition of your ducts and provide recommendations based on their findings. Here at Saniservice, we understand that sometimes things just need to be done right away. If you decide to move forward with a cleaning, our team is equipped to handle it efficiently and effectively. We use advanced techniques like negative pressure systems to remove contaminants without causing dust to spread further through your home or office. Remember, if the smell persists after proper maintenance or if you notice any signs of mold growth, don't hesitate to reach out for professional assistance.
