Should I clean ducts or is it minor?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a lot of dirt and debris collecting in the vents of my bedroom. The AC unit also seemed much noisier than usual. Given that we’ve lived here for two years without doing any maintenance on the ducts, should I hire professionals to clean them or could it be something minor?

Absolutely, it sounds like your ducts could do with some attention. After that heavy dust storm, it's quite common to find dirt and debris accumulating inside the vents. However, since you mentioned the AC unit sounding noisier than usual and this being a new development, it might be wise to get an expert opinion.
In Dubai, as in many places, ductwork can collect all sorts of contaminants over time – dust, pollen, pet dander, and even mold spores. Given that you've lived here for two years without maintenance, it's possible these have built up significantly. The UAE doesn't have specific regulations mandating regular duct cleaning, but it is generally recommended to clean your HVAC system at least once a year. The noise issue could indicate several things, from dirt and dust buildup within the ducts or filters to potential issues with the fan unit itself. Either way, professional inspection would be prudent to identify any underlying problems that might affect both energy efficiency and indoor air quality. If you're considering cleaning it yourself, ensure you have proper protective gear and follow safety guidelines. However, given the complexity of HVAC systems in Dubai's climate, hiring professionals is often the best route. They can properly clean the ducts without causing damage to your system or your home. For reliable services, you might want to contact 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection and cleaning. They have experience dealing with local conditions and can provide thorough assessments and treatments tailored to the needs of homes in Dubai. Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial, especially when you consider how many hours we spend indoors. Keeping your HVAC system clean not only ensures better airflow but also helps prevent potential health issues linked to poor air quality. So, while it might seem like a minor issue now, addressing it early could save you from bigger problems down the line. |
