Should I clean vents or hire an expert?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be struggling more than usual lately, especially during these hot summer months. I’ve noticed a lot of dust accumulating around the vents, and sometimes it feels like there’s not enough fresh air circulating. Should I hire an indoor air quality expert or is this something that can be managed with some DIY cleaning?

Absolutely, it's wise to consider both cleaning the vents and potentially hiring an expert. In dubai, we often experience extreme temperatures which can exacerbate issues related to air conditioning systems. The accumulation of dust around your vents is a common problem and can seriously affect the efficiency of your AC system.

Firstly, a quick DIY clean-up could go a long way. Gather some basic tools like a vacuum cleaner with an extendable hose, a soft brush, and some microfiber cloths. Start by shutting off the AC to prevent any water from dripping onto electronics while you work. Carefully remove the front grill of your vents, paying attention not to touch or damage the delicate internal components. Using the extendable hose on your vacuum cleaner, clean out the dust from the ductwork and filter. If your system has a filter, replace it with a new one if it's dirty – this will vastly improve air quality. Don't forget to clean around the vent grills as well using microfiber cloths.

However, if after cleaning you still notice issues like uncomfortable temperatures or poor air circulation, it may be time to consider hiring an expert. Indoor air quality in dubai is regulated by laws such as Federal Decree-Law No. 13 of 2006 on the Health Protection Law and the UAE Environmental Agency guidelines which mandate regular maintenance for AC systems.

A professional can perform a comprehensive inspection, identify any hidden issues like mold growth or blockages that your cleaning might have missed, and provide recommendations tailored to dubai's climate conditions. They’ll also ensure that your system is operating efficiently to maintain optimal indoor air quality, especially important in the hot summer months when AC use spikes.
