Should I clean bedroom ducts professionally?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a persistent dusty smell coming from the bedroom's ducts. My kids have been complaining of itchy eyes and sneezing since then, and I suspect there might be some mold growth hidden in there too. The AC filter is clean, but I’m worried about what’s lurking inside those ducts. Should I consider professional duct cleaning to prevent this from becoming a recurring issue?

Absolutely, given the circumstances you've described, it would be wise to consider having your bedroom ducts cleaned professionally. The persistent dusty smell and the symptoms experienced by your children suggest that there could indeed be some hidden issues within your HVAC system.
In Dubai/UAE, there are no specific regulations mandating regular duct cleaning, but given the high dust levels during storms and the potential for mold growth, it's a prudent measure to take. Mold can thrive in damp conditions inside the ducts, especially if the storm brought moisture into your home. This could not only affect air quality but also pose health risks, particularly for those with allergies or respiratory issues. Firstly, I'd recommend scheduling an inspection by a certified professional. They will be able to assess the condition of your ductwork and determine whether cleaning is necessary. It's important to note that DIY duct cleaning can sometimes cause more harm than good if not done correctly. Professionals use specialized equipment designed for thorough cleaning without causing damage. If the inspector confirms that cleaning is needed, make sure you choose a reputable company with experience in Dubai. They will employ safe methods and ensure minimal disruption to your home while cleaning out all those pesky dust bunnies and potential mold spores. Remember, keeping your HVAC system well-maintained is key to maintaining good indoor air quality. Regular maintenance should include not just ductwork but also air filters and other components of the system. Lastly, don't forget that after a thorough clean, it's essential to ensure proper ventilation in your home. This helps prevent any lingering odors or issues from resurfacing.
