Is duct cleaning urgent with musty smells?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent musty smell coming from the kitchen area, even though I clean regularly. The AC in my apartment seems to be working harder than usual too. Given that we have small children at home, how urgent is it for us to get our ducts cleaned?

The musty smell and increased AC efforts could be signs that your ducts need cleaning. In Dubai, we often experience humidity changes, especially after rain events like the one you mentioned. This can lead to moisture build-up within the HVAC system, creating ideal conditions for mold growth – a common source of those unpleasant smells.
In the UAE, it’s important to note that regulations around indoor air quality aren't as strict as in other countries, but maintaining clean and healthy ducts is crucial nonetheless. Regular inspections by professionals can help identify issues early before they escalate into major problems. Given your situation with small children at home, addressing this issue quickly is advised. Duct cleaning isn’t just about removing dust and debris; it's also about eliminating potential health risks from mold spores, which can trigger allergies or respiratory issues in kids. It’s recommended to schedule a professional inspection as soon as possible to pinpoint the exact cause of your smells and ensure that everything is functioning optimally. Professionals will be able to thoroughly clean the ducts, inspect for any damages, and provide solutions if there are underlying issues like improper sealing or insulation problems.
