Could duct cleaning solve our dusty smell issue?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, we've noticed a persistent dusty smell in our living room, even with the windows open. The AC filters are clean, but the mustiness seems to come from deeper inside the ducts. Have any of you had issues like this before or know if regular duct cleaning could help?

Certainly! Dusty smells in your living room can be quite an unpleasant issue. Given the recent dust storm and persistent smell, it's entirely possible that the ducts could be a source of the problem. In dubai, we often experience such storms which can carry a lot of particulates into our homes.

Regular duct cleaning is indeed one of the best steps to take in this situation. The UAE doesn't have specific regulations for duct cleaning but it's always advisable to engage professionals who are experienced and certified. They will be able to properly assess your system, locate any potential issues, and provide a thorough clean that can help alleviate your concerns.

When you call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com, we'll first inspect the ductwork for visible dirt, mold, or other debris. If such conditions are present, cleaning might be necessary to remove these contaminants which could be causing your musty smell. Additionally, we can check if there's any damage within the ducts that could be allowing dust and particles to enter your living spaces.

It’s also worth noting that regular maintenance of your HVAC system includes changing filters as you’ve already done but cleaning or replacing them isn't enough for deep-seated issues like what you're experiencing. Over time, debris can accumulate in the hard-to-reach areas within ducts which might not be accessible even by those with DIY skills.

By addressing these hidden sources of contamination through professional duct cleaning, we could significantly reduce the dust and odor levels in your home. Plus, a clean system will operate more efficiently, potentially saving you energy costs too!

So if this issue persists or gets worse, don't hesitate to give us a call. We are here to help ensure you have a healthier indoor environment.
