Could duct cleaning improve air quality?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms this past March, I noticed a persistent odor coming from the vents in my bedroom. The air feels stuffy and doesn’t seem as fresh as it should be despite running the AC all day. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits too, especially after we’ve had these windy days. Could cleaning or servicing the ducts help resolve this issue?

Absolutely! Duct cleaning can indeed improve air quality. In the UAE, especially considering the recent dust storms and their impact on indoor environments, regular duct cleaning is highly recommended to address issues like stuffy air, odors, and even health concerns for your family.

Dust, debris, mold spores, and allergens can accumulate in HVAC systems over time. These contaminants not only affect the efficiency of your air conditioning unit but also contribute significantly to poor indoor air quality (IAQ). The persistent odor you’re experiencing could be due to a buildup of dust or mold within the ductwork, which becomes more evident during these windy days.

In Dubai and other parts of the UAE, regulations might vary slightly from those in other regions. However, it’s generally advised that homeowners have their HVAC systems inspected annually by professionals. This includes checking the ducts for any signs of damage or excessive buildup. For severe cases, a full duct cleaning is necessary to ensure proper air circulation.

If your symptoms persist after thorough cleaning or if you notice mold growth within your home, it's important to call in a professional for an inspection and remediation service. The team at Saniservice can help assess the situation and provide tailored solutions to improve IAQ. You can reach us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com.

Remember, maintaining a clean and healthy indoor environment is crucial for everyone’s well-being, especially during times of high dust levels. Regular maintenance of your HVAC system not only enhances comfort but also prolongs the life of your equipment.

Taking these steps can help mitigate the discomfort you’ve been experiencing and contribute to better overall health for you and your family.
