Should I clean ducts myself or hire professionals?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, the dust storm we experienced last month did indeed bring up some serious concerns about indoor air quality. In Dubai and the UAE, it's common to see an increase in particulates post-sand storms, especially as you mentioned your allergies acting up. The filters get clogged quickly, which can affect the efficiency of your HVAC system and lead to a lot more dust circulating throughout your home or office.

For a quick fix, you could start by vacuuming or washing your air conditioning filters. However, if you notice that this isn't enough and there's still an abundance of dust, it might be time to consider professional duct cleaning. In Dubai, regulations do not strictly mandate regular duct cleaning but maintaining clean ducts can significantly improve indoor air quality.

Professional duct cleaners have the right equipment to dislodge stubborn debris and effectively remove it from your HVAC system. They use specialized vacuums that can reach deep into the ductwork where filters can't capture dust. Professional cleaning can also help in identifying other issues like mold growth, which might not be visible with just visual inspections.

If you are considering hiring professionals, make sure to choose a reputable company such as Saniservice. You can call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more information and a quote. Regular cleaning every few years is often recommended but the frequency may depend on factors like the age of your system, how dusty your area is, and the presence of pets.

Lastly, after duct cleaning, it's wise to have a professional inspection to ensure that the job was done correctly and that no new issues were introduced. This can help you maintain good indoor air quality in the long run.

So, if you're tired of dealing with frequent filter changes and allergy flare-ups, don't hesitate to take action. Cleaner ducts mean cleaner air for you and your family!
