Should I clean ducts to improve air quality?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the rain last month, I noticed a layer of dirt and dust accumulating in the corners of my living room vents. The AC seems to be working overtime, but still isn't as efficient as it used to be. My kids have been coughing more frequently lately, and I suspect it might be related to the air quality. Should I get the ducts cleaned professionally, or could regular cleaning help prevent this from happening again?

Absolutely, cleaning your ducts can significantly improve the air quality in your home. In dubai and the UAE, it's quite common for dust, mold spores, and other allergens to accumulate within the HVAC system, especially after heavy rainfall or during the construction seasons. This can lead to a variety of issues including reduced efficiency of your AC, increased energy consumption, and even potential health problems for you and your family.
The situation you're describing - where dirt is accumulating in the corners of your vents and your kids are coughing more frequently - sounds like it could be linked to poor air quality. In Dubai, we've seen an increase in respiratory issues due to mold growth from water damage, so it's wise to take a proactive approach. If your AC isn't working as efficiently as before, that’s another sign you should consider having the ducts cleaned. Ducts can get clogged with dust and debris over time, which not only affects air flow but also impacts the overall performance of your HVAC system. This could be costing you more on utility bills. For serious cases like yours, it's recommended to have a professional inspection done. Saniservice is a reputable company that provides such services in Dubai.

Regular maintenance, including cleaning the filters, can help prevent further accumulation but professional duct cleaning every few years is generally advised. During these cleanings, professionals use specialized equipment to remove even the dirt that might be trapped in corners and hard-to-reach areas of your ductwork. In summary, yes, you should consider having your ducts cleaned professionally. It will not only improve air quality but also help maintain the efficiency of your AC system.
