What should I look for in duct cleaning?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a thick layer of dirt and debris accumulating on the vents in my living room. The air quality seems noticeably worse since then, and my kids have been having more frequent coughing fits. Is there anything specific I should look for when getting duct cleaning to ensure it addresses these issues?

Hey there! First off, I'm glad you're looking into duct cleaning after the dust storm. In Dubai/UAE, it's crucial to ensure your system is clean and efficient as poor air quality can affect the health of everyone in the home, especially kids who may be more sensitive.
When considering duct cleaning, here’s what you should look out for: Firstly, always opt for a professional service provider that adheres to local standards. The UAE doesn’t have specific regulations like some other regions but it's important your contractor follows best practices and uses appropriate equipment. You might want to check if they use HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) vacuums which are highly effective in capturing small particles. Secondly, ask about the scope of their cleaning service. Make sure it includes a thorough inspection of your ductwork, registers, and diffusers. In Dubai, many houses have central air conditioning systems that can accumulate dust and other contaminants over time. A good company will also check for any signs of mold or moisture damage which are more common in this climate. Thirdly, inquire about the use of decontamination measures. After cleaning, some services might spray a solution to kill bacteria and viruses. This is particularly important post-dust storms when airborne particulates can increase the risk of respiratory issues. And lastly, get an estimate that includes all the work you need done. Sometimes, initial inspection may reveal more extensive issues like blocked ducts or broken components which would require additional work beyond just cleaning. If your kids have been having frequent coughing fits, I strongly recommend a professional indoor air quality assessment before and after cleaning. This can help pinpoint exactly what’s causing their symptoms and ensure the air in your home is as clean as possible.
