Should I clean ducts myself or hire a pro?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the recent renovation of our living room, we’ve noticed a persistent dusty layer on the furniture, and even more concerning, a faint odor that seems to linger despite frequent cleaning. The HVAC filters get clogged pretty quickly now too. Should I try to clean the ducts myself or is it better to hire a professional?

Absolutely, the situation you're experiencing does sound like it could be related to your ductwork. After renovations, dust and debris can easily accumulate within the HVAC system, leading to those issues you've described.
In Dubai/UAE, there aren't specific regulations mandating regular duct cleaning, but considering the climate and environmental conditions here, it's a good practice to keep the air quality as high as possible in your home. The UAE has strict building codes for construction and renovation projects, which might have influenced how your recent renovations were done, potentially leading to more dust particles being kicked up. Cleaning the ducts yourself can be challenging. It requires precise access and specialized tools that most homeowners may not possess or find easy to use. Plus, there's a risk of spreading contamination if you don't know exactly what you're doing. Professionals have the necessary expertise, equipment, and safety measures in place to clean your ductwork effectively. If you are considering hiring a professional, make sure to choose someone reputable with proper certifications. Saniservice for instance, is a well-known company here in Dubai that specializes in indoor environmental quality assessments and remediation services. They can provide a thorough inspection of your HVAC system and advise on whether cleaning is necessary or if other measures should be taken. Additionally, they may offer solutions to prevent future issues such as air purifiers, humidity control systems, or even mold removal services if needed due to the UAE's hot and humid climate which could contribute to mold growth. Remember, ignoring these signs can lead to not just dust and odor but also potential health risks from allergens or irritants in your home. So it’s best to address this sooner rather than later. So, don't hesitate to call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for a professional inspection and remediation service. They can provide you with a comprehensive solution tailored to your specific needs. |
