After the heavy dust storm last week, I noticed a lot of debris accumulated in the ducts of my apartment's air conditioning system. The smell inside is quite unpleasant and makes me worry about potential health issues, especially with our pets around. How urgent should I be about cleaning these ducts?

Duct cleaning after a dust storm is indeed a serious matter. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, where we often experience sandstorms and other environmental challenges, it's crucial to address any debris that may have accumulated in your air conditioning ducts promptly.
The accumulation of dirt, dust, and even pet dander can significantly affect indoor air quality. This can be problematic for residents as well as pets. In the UAE, the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) doesn't have a specific regulation mandating regular duct cleaning, but it's highly recommended to maintain good indoor air quality. The unpleasant smell you're experiencing is likely due to the buildup of organic matter such as mold spores or bacteria, which can thrive in moist environments created by condensation inside the ducts. This not only affects comfort and odour levels but also poses potential health risks to both humans and animals. Given your situation, it would be wise to have a professional inspection done. Saniservice, for instance, offers reliable duct cleaning services that can help remove all this debris effectively. They use state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to ensure thorough cleaning without damaging the ductwork. Once inspected and cleaned, you might also consider setting up a maintenance schedule with them or another trusted provider to keep your air quality optimal throughout the year. In summary, don't delay on addressing this issue.

Remember, clean ducts contribute significantly to a healthier living environment. Hope this helps! |
