Should I clean AC vents or hire professionals?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely! Given the recent dust storm and the persistent feeling of stuffiness despite your air conditioning being on full blast, it sounds like you've got a good reason to address those vents. In dubai, dirt accumulation in AC ducts is pretty common post-dust storms, but cleaning them yourself or hiring professionals really depends on the extent of the problem.

If you're handy with tools and have some experience in DIY projects, you could start by cleaning the visible parts like your bedroom's vent. Use a vacuum cleaner with an attachment to suck up dust from the vents, then use a soft brush to remove any residue that remains. Be cautious not to damage any components while doing this.

However, when it comes to the ductwork behind walls and ceilings, you're likely dealing with more than just visible dirt. Accumulation of dust, pollen, mold spores, and other allergens can seriously affect air quality, which might explain why your bedroom feels stuffy even with AC on. It’s advisable to have a professional inspection done because in dubai, regulations require regular maintenance and cleaning of HVAC systems for commercial properties, though residential ones are less strictly regulated.

Professional duct cleaners use specialized equipment such as long, flexible brushes that can reach deep into the ductwork, ensuring thorough cleaning. They may also check for signs of mold growth or other issues that could impact air quality. The cost varies widely in dubai - a typical job might range from 500 to 2000 dirhams depending on the size and complexity of your system.

If you decide to go professional, i'd recommend reaching out to saniservice at 800-MOLDS or email them at hello@saniservice.com. They can provide a quote based on your specific needs and ensure that your HVAC system is not just clean but also functioning efficiently.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for health and comfort, especially in the UAE's hot climate where AC systems are constantly working hard. So don’t hesitate to take action!
