Should I clean AC ducts professionally?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I noticed a thick layer of dirt collecting in the grilles of my balcony AC unit. The filters look fine, but I’m worried about what might be inside the ducts, especially since it’s been two years since they were last cleaned. My kids have also been complaining of congestion and sneezing more often than usual. Should I consider having the ductwork cleaned professionally to prevent this from recurring?

Absolutely, you should seriously consider having your AC ducts cleaned professionally. The recent dust storms in Dubai have certainly contributed to the accumulation of dirt and debris within your system. It's quite common for grilles to trap significant amounts of dust, but as you mentioned, it seems like the interior of the ductwork is also impacted.

In the UAE, especially in places like Dubai, where we experience varying climatic conditions including sandstorms and high temperatures, regular maintenance of HVAC systems is crucial for both comfort and health. According to the Environmental Health Regulations, maintaining indoor air quality by cleaning AC ducts every 2-3 years is recommended to prevent dust, mold, and bacteria from spreading.

Moreover, your kids' symptoms - congestion and sneezing - could indeed be linked to poor air quality in your home. Allergens like dust mites and pet dander can thrive in uncleaned ductwork, exacerbating respiratory issues for children and adults alike. Professional cleaning not only removes these irritants but also helps ensure that the system is operating efficiently.

To take action, I would recommend reaching out to a reputable company like Saniservice. You can call them at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com. They have experience in dealing with local conditions and will provide you with a thorough inspection and professional cleaning service.

Remember, a clean AC system not only improves air quality but also reduces the risk of mold growth which is particularly important considering our humid climate. Keeping your family healthy should always be top priority, especially when it comes to indoor environments where we spend most of our time.

Hope this helps and wish you a healthier and cleaner home!
