Should I clean ductwork due to odor concerns?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, cleaning ductwork is crucial for maintaining indoor air quality and comfort. In dubai, we have seen several cases where odours and decreased efficiency of AC systems are linked to issues like mold growth or dust build-up in the ducts.

The UAE does not have specific regulations mandating how often you should clean your ductwork, but it's a good idea to do so at least once every 1-2 years depending on usage. This is especially true if you've noticed unusual odours, as this can indicate hidden mold or mildew growth within the system.

In your case, given that you're experiencing an unpleasant smell and noticing less efficient operation from your air conditioning, it's wise to consider a professional inspection. Our team at Saniservice has seen many cases where regular cleaning hasn't been done for years leading to similar issues.

Here’s what you can do:
1. Contact a professional HVAC company in Dubai such as Saniservice. We offer thorough ductwork inspections and cleaning services.
2. Ask about the use of EPA-approved disinfectants and HEPA filters during the process.
3. Ensure they clean both the supply and return air ducts thoroughly, as well as any registers and grills.

Cleaning can help remove not only mold but also other allergens like dust mites, pollen, pet dander, and even some viruses that might have accumulated over time. This will improve your home's overall indoor air quality and make the environment healthier for you and your family, especially if you have children sleeping in that bedroom.

If the issue persists after cleaning or if it’s just too much to handle yourself, don't hesitate to call us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. We’re here to help ensure your home's air is as clean and fresh as possible.

Remember, keeping your ducts clean can not only address the odor concern but also improve energy efficiency by ensuring proper airflow.
