Is duct cleaning dangerous in my home?« Back to Previous Page

Duct cleaning ain't necessarily dangerous but it do require some know-how. In Dubai/UAE, regulations for HVAC systems are there to ensure the quality of indoor air we breathe. The dust storm you experienced recently could be a sign that your ductwork needs a good cleanin'.

Persistent coughing and sneezing, especially in a particular room like your bedroom, can indeed indicate poor duct cleanliness. Dust, mold spores, and other allergens can accumulate in the HVAC system over time and get blown back into the air when you're using the AC or heating. Carpets under windows covered in fine dust particles is another red flag that suggests contaminated air could be circulating in your home.

Before you dive into duct cleanin', there's a few things to consider:
1. If symptoms persist, especially if they affect multiple family members, it might be wise to have a professional inspection done first.
2. Look out for signs of moisture or mold growth inside the ducts – this can increase the risk of respiratory issues and should be handled by experts.
3. Check if your HVAC system has been properly maintained in accordance with local regulations.

For those who decide to clean their ducts, here are some steps:
• Turn off the AC and seal all air vents to prevent dust from spreading around during cleaning.
• Use a vacuum cleaner designed for duct cleaning to remove debris.
• Clean or replace air filters.
• Scrub any visible mold or dirt in accessible areas of the ductwork.
