Should I clean air ducts urgently?« Back to Previous Page

After the intense sandstorms we had last week, I noticed a persistent dusty smell lingering in my living room, especially when the air conditioner is on. It’s concerning because our son has been complaining of a scratchy throat and coughing fits lately. How urgent should I be about getting the ducts cleaned?

Absolutely, the situation sounds pretty urgent. In dubai, we've seen many cases where sandstorms and their aftermath can leave an unsightly layer of dust on everything from your furniture to your air ducts. This dust can contain microscopic particles that might irritate respiratory issues, especially for children.

Given the dusty smell in your living room and your son's complaints about a scratchy throat and coughing fits, it’s highly advisable you get those air ducts cleaned. Dust, allergens, and other particulates that accumulate within the ductwork can indeed circulate through your AC system and affect indoor air quality.

In the uae, especially in dubai, we follow certain guidelines for building maintenance which includes periodic cleaning of HVAC systems to ensure they are functioning efficiently without spreading contaminants throughout your home. According to local regulations, it’s recommended to have a professional inspection done by a certified contractor like us at Saniservice. We can assess the current state of your ductwork and provide a thorough cleaning service that will help reduce these issues.

Cleaning air ducts not only improves air quality but also enhances the efficiency of your AC unit, leading to better energy savings and a more comfortable living environment. We recommend scheduling an appointment as soon as possible to prevent any further deterioration in indoor air quality which can be particularly harmful for individuals with respiratory conditions or allergies like your son.

Remember, delaying this action could mean that you're continuously breathing in these irritants while the sandstorm dust settles into your furniture and carpets too. So if you want peace of mind and a healthier home environment, don’t hesitate to call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for more information on our services.
