Should I clean ductwork discoloration myself?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storms we had a couple of weeks ago, I noticed an awful musty smell coming from the kitchen. The AC filters are pretty clean, but I can see some discoloration on the ductwork that runs through there. Should I try to clean it myself or should I call in a professional?

Absolutely, the musty smell and discoloration of your ductwork can be concerning. In the UAE, especially during the dust storms that we experience, it's crucial to maintain indoor air quality, particularly in a place like Dubai where environmental conditions can fluctuate significantly.
Discoloration on ductwork could indicate an accumulation of dirt, mold spores, or other allergens which may not be easily visible from the outside. A professional inspection is highly recommended because in cases like yours, you might have issues that require specific knowledge and equipment to address properly. Duct cleaning in Dubai/UAE needs to comply with certain regulations. The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) of the UAE has guidelines for air quality which businesses and homeowners should adhere to. These guidelines ensure that any service provider is qualified and uses appropriate methods for cleaning and maintaining HVAC systems.
