Should I clean ducts myself or hire pros?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent dust storm that hit Dubai, I noticed a lot of debris and dirt buildup in our ducts, especially in the air vents. It's not only making my home feel stuffy but also seems to be causing persistent coughing among family members, particularly my young kids. Should I consider hiring professionals for duct cleaning or is there a DIY method that could work?

Absolutely, the recent dust storm here in Dubai has certainly highlighted how important it is to maintain your indoor air quality. Debris and dirt can accumulate over time and may lead to discomfort like stuffiness and even coughing, especially among young kids.

Cleaning ducts yourself might seem like a cost-effective solution but considering the UAE's stringent health and safety standards, I'd advise against DIY methods. Dust storms in Dubai are known for their intensity, and the debris they bring can be quite harsh on your system. Professional duct cleaning ensures that all areas are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to meet local standards.

In Dubai, regulations require that any work involving HVAC systems must be carried out by licensed professionals who have the necessary equipment and expertise. Not only does this ensure a thorough clean, but it also helps in identifying any potential issues within your system that you might not notice on your own.

If you're experiencing persistent symptoms like coughing, especially among children, I strongly recommend calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for an expert assessment. They can provide a professional inspection and ensure your family is breathing clean air in the aftermath of this storm.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality isn’t just about feeling better; it’s also crucial for overall health, especially during such turbulent weather conditions. Don't hesitate to invest in a professional service that will keep your home safe and healthy.
