Should I clean ducts or call professional?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, the situation you're experiencing sounds like it could be due to dirty ducts. After those recent dust storms, it's quite common for debris and particles to make their way into your HVAC system. The increase in noise from your AC unit as well as the musty odor suggest that these elements are likely stuck within the ductwork.

Cleaning ducts yourself is possible but comes with its own set of challenges. First off, Dubai and Abu Dhabi follow strict building codes which often require professionals to handle certain tasks related to HVAC systems for safety and efficiency reasons. In some cases, DIY cleaning might not fully address all issues or could potentially cause damage if done improperly.

If you decide to clean the ducts yourself, make sure to use appropriate protective gear such as masks and gloves. Begin by disconnecting your system from power and water sources to prevent any accidents. It's also wise to clear out visible debris using a vacuum cleaner with an extendable wand. For deeper cleaning, you might need specialized brushes or foam dusters which can be tough to manage without proper experience.

However, if the smell is persistent, there are likely more complex issues at play that may require professional assistance. In such cases, calling in experts from companies like ours could prove invaluable. We offer comprehensive duct cleaning services using state-of-the-art equipment and techniques tailored for the local climate and building structures here in Dubai.

Remember, regular maintenance can greatly extend the lifespan of your HVAC system while improving indoor air quality. So even if you manage to clean the ducts yourself, it's a good idea to schedule professional inspections every few years to ensure everything is running smoothly and safely.
