How urgent is duct cleaning needed?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last week, I noticed a significant increase in dust settling on furniture and floors. The AC vents in my bedroom are also spitting out more dirt than usual, and it smells slightly musty. How urgent is it to have the ducts cleaned?

Duct cleaning is quite urgent considering the recent dust storms we've experienced here in Dubai. The increase in dust settling and the smell coming from your AC vents is a clear indication that something needs to be done right away.

In the UAE, especially in areas like Dubai where sandstorms are common, it’s not uncommon for ducts to accumulate significant amounts of dirt, dust, and other particles over time. This can impact air quality, leading to health issues such as allergies or respiratory problems. Furthermore, a musty smell often suggests the presence of mold which could pose additional risks.

Given your situation, I would recommend scheduling a professional inspection by Saniservice at 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com. A thorough inspection will help identify not only dust and dirt but also any potential mold growth. Once identified, a professional cleaning can be carried out to ensure that your air ducts are free from contaminants.

Remember, regular maintenance of HVAC systems is crucial in maintaining good indoor environmental quality (IEQ) here in the UAE. It’s recommended to have your ducts cleaned every 2-3 years or more frequently if you live in areas prone to sandstorms and dust.

Do not underestimate the importance of clean air for a healthy living environment, especially with the current conditions. Act now to ensure that you breathe cleaner air and enjoy better indoor comfort.
