Could duct cleaning solve our dust problems?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the recent heavy dust storm, I’ve been noticing a persistent dry cough and sneezing fits, especially in my son’s bedroom. The vents seem to be releasing more dust than usual, and there's an odd musty smell that’s been lingering even after cleaning the room thoroughly. Has anyone else experienced similar issues or should I consider getting our ducts cleaned?

Absolutely, duct cleaning can be a valuable solution for your dust problems. In the UAE, especially during dusty seasons like you experienced after that recent storm, it's quite common to see an increase in airborne particles. These might include sand and other fine particulates which get sucked into your HVAC system via the vents.
In Dubai, we've seen many cases where ducts become clogged with dust over time, leading to issues like coughing, sneezing fits, and musty odors. The UAE building codes do not mandate regular duct cleaning but it is highly recommended for maintaining indoor air quality, especially in such environments. If you're noticing more dust coming out of your vents or a persistent musty smell, there's a good chance that your HVAC system might be due for some TLC. Professional duct cleaning can remove accumulated dirt, debris, and mold spores from the ductwork, helping to improve airflow and air quality significantly. It’s also important to note that during the summer months when we see high temperatures and humidity, dust and other allergens can multiply in our homes. This makes it even more crucial to ensure your HVAC system is clean and functioning properly. Before you decide on a cleaning solution, consider having your ducts inspected by a certified professional. They can assess if there’s any significant buildup or damage that needs attention. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice are well-known for their thorough inspection and cleaning services. You can contact them through the number 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. Remember to check if your HVAC filters need replacing as well. Clean or replace these regularly, at least every three months in high-use environments, to prevent dust from circulating back into the air. Taking action now can help alleviate those pesky coughing and sneezing fits and ensure that you and your family enjoy a healthier indoor environment throughout the year. |
