Should I clean apartment ducts for better air quality?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a persistent layer of dust collecting on furniture in the living room, even though we clean regularly. The AC filter also seemed clogged with dirt despite changing it every few months. Given that my family has been experiencing more coughs and sniffles lately, I’m concerned about the air quality in our apartment. Should I consider professional duct cleaning to prevent these issues from recurring?

Absolutely, cleaning your apartment ducts is indeed a step worth considering to improve the air quality. In dubai and uae, we often face dusty conditions due to the climate and sometimes sandstorms. These can introduce lots of particulates into the air which end up in our ventilation systems.
The dust storm last month sounds like it might have been particularly bad. After such events, you'll notice a layer of dust settling on furniture and other surfaces - that's exactly what i've seen too. And your family having more coughs and sniffles could be linked to the build-up of irritants in the air. When the ac filter is clogged with dirt, it can't do its job properly. This means not only does less clean air get circulated but the unit itself has to work harder which can shorten its lifespan. That's why i'd definitely recommend having your ducts professionally cleaned. In uae, there are no specific regulations for duct cleaning like in some other countries, so it's more about choosing a reputable company with good experience. Look for companies that offer pre and post-clean air quality testing to ensure the job was done right. If you notice ongoing issues or if someone in your family is having trouble breathing, i'd advise seeking a professional inspection first.
