Should I clean ducts or call professionals?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a lot of debris accumulating in the vents of my living room. The AC unit is also making some strange noises that I didn't notice before. Can someone suggest if it's safe to try cleaning the ducts myself or if I should call in professionals?

When dust storms hit the UAE and specifically Dubai, it's common to see an increase in debris accumulating within your HVAC systems. The noises you're hearing from your AC unit could be due to this buildup or other factors. Considering the climate here, it’s often wise to have a professional handle duct cleaning.
In the UAE, especially in Dubai, there are specific regulations and standards for indoor air quality (IAQ) which professionals adhere to ensure safety and effectiveness. Cleaning ducts yourself can lead to potential health risks, such as exposure to dust or mold spores, if not done correctly. Additionally, some of the equipment needed for a thorough cleaning might not be accessible without professional tools. If you decide to clean your ducts, make sure to wear protective gear like gloves and masks to minimize any respiratory issues. However, given the complexity involved in ensuring all areas are effectively cleaned, I strongly recommend calling in professionals who have experience with local regulations and equipment. Saniservice is a reputable company in Dubai that offers professional duct cleaning services. They can provide detailed reports on your system's health post-cleaning and offer solutions to prevent future issues. You can call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more information. Remember, a clean HVAC system not only improves the air quality but also boosts energy efficiency which is crucial in our hot climate. A professional inspection could also identify other potential problems like mold growth that you might have missed during your initial cleaning attempt. In conclusion, while it's understandable to want to save on costs by doing this yourself, it’s often more beneficial and safer to invest in professional services. |
