Should I clean ducts myself or call a pro?« Back to Previous Page

Hey! It sounds like your ducts could definitely use some attention. With all the dust storms we've had lately, it’s no surprise that debris and odors are starting to make their way into your living space. However, cleaning ductwork is a task best left to professionals for several reasons.

Firstly, in Dubai/UAE, there are specific regulations governing indoor environmental quality which can vary from other regions. For instance, the Ministry of Community Development (MoCD) has guidelines on maintaining safe and healthy environments within residential buildings. Given that your apartment is on the second floor, it's important to ensure not only your comfort but also the safety standards as per local codes.

Cleaning ducts yourself can be a challenging and time-consuming task. Professional duct cleaners have the necessary equipment such as powerful vacuum systems and specialized brushes to thoroughly clean the entire system – from the registers all the way back to the air handler unit. This ensures that not only the visible dust is removed but also deep-seated dirt, mold spores, and allergens which can greatly impact indoor air quality.

Moreover, professionals are trained to identify any potential issues like leaks or damage in your ductwork that could be contributing to odor problems. They can also recommend solutions such as sealing gaps or replacing sections of the ducts if needed, which you might not notice or know how to address yourself.
