Can cleaning ductwork prevent odors?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a weird odor coming from the ducts in our bedroom. The HVAC filters look clean, but the smell persists, especially when we run the AC. Could cleaning or regular maintenance of the ductwork help prevent this issue?

Absolutely, cleaning ductwork can indeed help prevent odors. In the UAE, especially in cities like Dubai where humidity and occasional heavy rains are common, proper maintenance of your HVAC system is crucial to ensure a healthy indoor environment. The rain you mentioned last month could have introduced moisture into your ducts, which might be causing the persistent odor.
In Dubai, it's important to adhere to local regulations regarding building and environmental health. The Department of Municipalities and Urban Planning (DM&UP) in Dubai emphasizes the need for regular maintenance checks on HVAC systems to ensure they are functioning properly and safely. This includes cleaning ductwork to remove any debris or moisture that could harbor bacteria or mold. If you notice a strange smell, especially after rain, it’s wise to have your ducts inspected by a professional. They can identify if there's an issue with the system itself or if water damage has occurred. Cleaning alone might not be enough; sometimes, remediation for mold growth or other issues is necessary.
