Should I clean ducts professionally?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a lingering damp smell in the living room, which is quite disturbing. The AC filters are pretty dirty looking, but when I opened the vents, it seemed like there was more to it—like dust and debris accumulating behind them. Given how long we've had these units, could this be related to our recent humidity issues? Should I consider getting the ducts cleaned professionally?

Absolutely, given the conditions you've described, it would be wise to consider professional duct cleaning. The combination of heavy rain and your observations about the AC filters and vents indicate that moisture could have found its way into your HVAC system. In Dubai and other parts of the UAE, humidity can indeed exacerbate such issues, as the climate is often quite warm and humid.

UAE regulations require regular maintenance for HVAC systems to ensure indoor air quality (IAQ) meets certain standards. However, with your current situation, it's crucial to have a professional inspection first. They will not only clean but also check for signs of mold or other contaminants that can release harmful spores into the air.

Professional duct cleaning services are equipped with specialized tools and techniques to thoroughly remove dust, debris, and moisture. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer comprehensive duct cleaning and inspection services that adhere to local standards. They use HEPA filters and advanced vacuum systems to ensure every inch of your ductwork is cleaned effectively.

Don't ignore the potential health risks associated with poor IAQ. Moisture can lead to mold growth which not only smells unpleasant but can also cause respiratory issues, especially for those with allergies or asthma. Saniservice's services come with a satisfaction guarantee and they offer flexible appointment times to fit your schedule.

To get started, you could contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for more information. They will provide an estimate based on the size of your system and any additional services needed.

Remember, maintaining a clean and healthy indoor environment is crucial in Dubai's climate, so act now to address the issues you've noticed.
