Is a duct cleaning urgently needed?« Back to Previous Page

Duct cleaning is indeed something to consider, especially after the recent dust storms. In Dubai and the UAE, indoor air quality can sometimes be affected by external factors such as sandstorms which can introduce a lot of particulate matter into your home's ventilation system.

The strong dusty smell you're noticing when using the air conditioning could definitely be due to the build-up of dirt and debris in your ducts. Even though the filters appeared clean, they only catch a portion of what is circulating through the entire system. The remaining dust and particles can accumulate over time leading to unpleasant odors and potentially affecting your health.

In Dubai, there's no specific law mandating regular duct cleaning but it’s advisable to have them inspected and cleaned every few years or as needed based on usage and environmental conditions. If you've experienced such storms recently, now is a good time to consider having your system checked out.

A professional inspection can help identify not only the need for duct cleaning but also other issues that might be affecting air quality in your home, like mold growth or pest infestations which are common in warmer climates like ours. The technicians will use specialized tools and equipment to thoroughly examine the ductwork and remove accumulated dust and debris.

If you do decide to proceed with a cleaning service, consider contacting a company certified by organizations such as the International Air Duct Association (IIDA) or the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA). Here in Dubai, companies like Saniservice are known for providing high-quality duct cleaning services. Their contact number is 800-MOLDS or you can email them at hello@saniservice.com.

Remember, while a one-time deep clean might resolve the issue, maintaining your system through regular maintenance and filter changes will help keep your home's air quality in tip-top shape. So don’t hesitate to give Saniservice a call if you have any more questions or need assistance with scheduling an appointment for duct cleaning.
