Is duct cleaning urgently needed?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the recent dust storm last month, I noticed a persistent dusty smell in both the living room and hallway of our penthouse. My family has also started to experience sneezing and runny noses more frequently, which makes me suspect it might be due to poor air quality from the accumulated dust in the ducts. How urgent is it really to have the ducts cleaned?

Absolutely, the situation sounds quite concerning and it's definitely important to get those ducts inspected and cleaned. In dubai, dust storms are common during certain months of the year, leading to an accumulation of particulate matter that can circulate through your home’s air system. This is not just a nuisance but can be detrimental to your family's health.
In the UAE, there isn't a specific regulation mandating duct cleaning, but it is highly recommended, especially if you're experiencing symptoms like sneezing and runny nose. The dusty smell in your living room and hallway could indicate that dust has settled not just on the surfaces but also inside your HVAC system. Over time, these particles can collect in your air ducts, leading to poor indoor air quality which might exacerbate respiratory issues. Given your symptoms and the recent events, it would be wise to have a professional inspection done. A qualified inspector will check for any visible dust or debris, assess the overall condition of the ductwork, and identify areas that need attention. They can also provide recommendations on how often you should be cleaning your system based on factors such as the number of occupants in your home, pets, and any other specific conditions. For those who are unsure where to start, I would recommend calling 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or emailing hello@saniservice.com. These services offer comprehensive air quality assessments which can help pinpoint the source of your concerns and provide tailored solutions to improve indoor air quality. Remember, a clean duct system not only enhances the comfort of your home but also helps in reducing energy costs by improving the efficiency of your HVAC systems. Don't wait for symptoms to worsen; act now to ensure better health and a healthier living environment for you and your family. |
