Should I clean ducts or call professionals?« Back to Previous Page

Cleaning your ducts after the dust storm sounds like a smart step to take. However, considering the complexity of the task and potential health risks involved, I would advise against attempting it yourself unless you're well-equipped and experienced.

In Dubai, as in many other regions including the UAE, there are no specific regulations mandating regular cleaning of residential ducts. Nevertheless, given the recent dust accumulation and your AC's struggle, a thorough clean is definitely necessary. The faint dusty smell could be due to particles not being properly filtered out by your HVAC system.

DIY cleaning isn't easy, especially if you're dealing with long, narrow ductwork or tight spaces. If you do decide to take on the job yourself, wear protective gear such as masks and gloves. You'll need a vacuum cleaner with attachments suitable for small spaces and possibly some specialized brushes or tools for scraping stubborn dirt.

However, if you've never cleaned your HVAC system before, it might be safer—and more effective—to call in professionals. They have the right equipment to thoroughly clean all parts of the ductwork safely without damaging your system. Furthermore, they can check for any other issues that may not be immediately obvious, like mold growth or structural damage.

If you choose to go with a professional service, consider Saniservice for their expertise and reliable services. You can call them at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. They are well-equipped to handle the job properly and give you peace of mind.
