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

Absolutely, cleaning your apartment's ducts professionally is a wise move. Dust and debris can accumulate over time, especially if the system hasn't been serviced since installation. In Dubai, we've seen plenty of cases where stagnant dust, mold spores, and other allergens get pushed through the air with every AC cycle, leading to issues like the ones you're experiencing.

The UAE has certain regulations regarding HVAC systems, though they don’t specifically mandate regular cleaning intervals. However, it's a best practice to have your ducts inspected and cleaned at least once a year, especially in high-occupancy areas or for families with young children who may be more susceptible to respiratory issues.

Given the symptoms you're seeing – particularly the coughing after being inside for just an hour – it’s definitely worth considering a professional inspection. This will allow them to assess if there's any mold growth or other contaminants that might not be visible without proper equipment and expertise.

In Dubai, companies like Saniservice are highly recommended. They offer thorough duct cleaning services which include both mechanical and visual inspections. Their team uses high-velocity vacuums and advanced brushes to remove even the deepest layers of dust and debris. Plus, they provide detailed reports post-inspection so you're fully aware of any issues found.

If you decide to go ahead with professional cleaning, be sure to schedule it during a time when your family is less likely to be affected by dusty conditions – perhaps in the evening or on weekends if possible. Also, ensure that the company follows proper safety protocols like sealing off non-essential areas and using dust covers to minimize disruption.

Lastly, don't hesitate to ask for references or reviews from other clients before choosing a service provider. A good company will be happy to provide you with testimonials or even direct you to satisfied customers in your area.

If you decide to proceed, you can call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for more information and to book an appointment. Remember, a clean and healthy indoor environment is key to enjoying the benefits of air conditioning in Dubai's hot summers.

Hope this helps!
