Could duct cleaning improve our air quality?« Back to Previous Page

Since we moved into our new apartment in Jumeirah last year, I’ve noticed a persistent dust cloud when someone turns on the air conditioning. The kids have been having more coughing fits lately, and my wife has mentioned feeling dizzy after using the AC for long periods. It’s concerning, especially with how much time we spend at home these days. Have any of you had similar issues or know if duct cleaning could help improve our indoor air quality?

Absolutely, duct cleaning could make a significant difference to your indoor air quality. In the UAE, especially in cities like Dubai where we experience high temperatures and humidity, regular maintenance of our HVAC systems is crucial for optimal performance and fresh air.

When someone turns on the AC in your apartment in Jumeirah, you notice that dusty cloud – this could be caused by dust, mold spores, pet dander, or other allergens accumulating over time inside your ducts. These particles can circulate throughout your home, affecting not only your family's comfort but also their health.

In Dubai, we often face challenges with airborne pollutants like pollen and particulate matter from the desert environment which can exacerbate respiratory issues. Given that you've noticed more coughing fits in kids and dizziness in your wife after using AC for long periods, it’s likely these symptoms could be linked to poor indoor air quality.

Professional duct cleaning is a great solution to address these concerns. Ducts can become clogged with debris over time, reducing airflow efficiency and increasing energy costs. By cleaning the ductwork, we eliminate these contaminants, improving overall air quality and potentially alleviating some of your family's symptoms.

UAE has its own set of regulations for HVAC maintenance which you might want to consider. According to the Building Services Regulations 2017 (Federal Decree Law No. 5 of 2017), property owners are required to maintain their air conditioning systems in a way that ensures they operate efficiently and safely.

If you’re thinking about tackling this yourself, it's important to note that not all DIY methods are effective or safe, especially when dealing with the intricate design of ductwork. Professional services like ours at Saniservice provide the necessary tools and expertise to thoroughly clean your system without causing damage.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation. We can assess your specific situation and recommend a cleaning schedule that best suits your needs. Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is vital not just during summer but throughout the year in Dubai’s climate conditions.

Cleaning your ducts isn’t just about removing visible dust; it's also about ensuring there are no mold growth or other microbial contaminants present. Mold can be a serious health issue, particularly for those with allergies and asthma, so it’s important to address any potential issues head-on.

In summary, duct cleaning is definitely something you should consider given your symptoms and the environment in Dubai. Let us help you breathe easier by ensuring your home's air quality is top-notch.
