Should I clean ducts or hire professionals?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I noticed a lot of debris accumulating in the vents of my third-floor apartment. The AC unit is running louder than usual, and there's a faint smell that I can’t quite place. Should I consider professional duct cleaning, or could this be handled by DIY methods?

Absolutely, cleaning your ducts is crucial for maintaining indoor air quality and improving the efficiency of your AC system. The dust storms we've had lately sure did leave their mark! With the UAE's harsh climatic conditions, it’s not uncommon to see a buildup of debris in ventilation systems.
First off, it's good that you're aware of the potential issues with your third-floor apartment. The louder-than-usual noise and that faint smell could be indicative of a build-up of dust, mold spores or other allergens. This situation calls for a thorough inspection to rule out any serious issues such as mold growth which is particularly prevalent in our region. DIY cleaning might work fine for minor cases but given the severity here I’d recommend professional help. A licensed duct cleaner would use specialized equipment like high-volume low-pressure (HVLP) vacuums and advanced brushes to thoroughly clean your system, ensuring no corner or crevice is left uncleaned. They can also check for any damage in the ductwork which could lead to more serious issues if left unchecked. In Dubai/UAE, it's important to note that some regulations might apply to professional cleaners. For instance, they should be licensed and certified by relevant authorities like those under the Ministry of Energy and Water or local municipalities. Professional services are also equipped with the latest technology and methods ensuring a job done right from start to finish. If you decide to go with a professional, give us a call at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an appointment. Our team is ready to help ensure your air quality remains top-notch. Remember, a clean duct system not only improves the comfort of your living space but also helps in reducing energy costs as well. So, don’t hesitate and take action today! |
