Is duct cleaning urgent for our health?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last week, my bedroom has been feeling unusually stuffy and smells like old carpet. My partner and I are both starting to feel a bit unwell, and we’re worried it might be from all that dust circulating in our air. How urgent is it for us to get our ducts cleaned?

The dust storms we've had around here can indeed leave a mess behind and the air quality in your home might take some time to recover. It's understandable that you're feeling unwell, as stale air and high levels of particulates like dust can definitely affect one's health.

In Dubai/UAE, regulations surrounding indoor air quality are stringent. According to the Building Control Department (BCD) and the Dubai Municipality, it’s crucial to maintain a healthy environment in our buildings. Given that your bedroom has been feeling stuffy and smells like old carpet after the dust storms, it might be wise to consider having your ducts cleaned professionally.

Duct cleaning can help remove accumulated dirt, dust, and other allergens from your HVAC system, ensuring cleaner air circulation throughout your home. This process not only improves indoor air quality but also enhances the efficiency of your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.

If you're experiencing symptoms like coughing, sneezing, or feeling generally unwell, it's important to address this promptly. A professional inspection can help identify any existing issues and determine whether duct cleaning is necessary for your specific situation. Our team at Saniservice has been serving the Dubai area for years and we recommend calling us on 800-MOLDS (66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com to schedule an assessment.

Remember, a clean HVAC system can lead to better air quality in your home, which is especially important given the recent dust storms. By addressing these concerns now, you may not only alleviate the symptoms but also prevent future health issues related to poor indoor air quality.

So, if you're concerned about your health and the air quality in your home, don't hesitate to get in touch with us for a professional inspection and duct cleaning service.
