Should I clean ducts professionally?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I noticed a persistent cough and sneezing in the living room, especially when the air conditioning is on. The vents are covered in what seems like a layer of dirt and debris, and it’s making me worry about my family's health. Have you noticed any similar issues after cleaning or should I consider having the ducts cleaned professionally?

Absolutely, you should consider having your ducts cleaned professionally. The dust storms we've experienced lately can indeed cause significant issues for the indoor air quality in your home. In Dubai and the UAE, it's quite common to see an accumulation of dust, debris, and even mold within the HVAC system due to these weather conditions.
The persistent cough and sneezing you're experiencing might be linked to the buildup of allergens like dust mites, pollen, and other irritants that can easily circulate through your air conditioning. These symptoms are more than just a nuisance; they could lead to respiratory issues or exacerbate existing allergies for yourself and your family. In the UAE, there aren't specific regulations mandating regular duct cleaning, but it's a good practice especially after severe weather events like dust storms. The Abu Dhabi Environment Agency (ADEA) and Dubai Municipality have guidelines that encourage maintaining clean indoor air environments to promote public health. Professional duct cleaning can significantly improve your home’s air quality by removing the dirt and debris from within the ductwork, thereby reducing allergens and irritants in the air you breathe. It's also a good idea to get your system inspected for any damage or blockages that might have occurred during the storms. Here are some practical tips: • Look for a reputable company with experience in UAE conditions. • Ask about their methods of cleaning, including whether they use negative pressure techniques to ensure thoroughness and safety. • Check if they provide before-and-after air quality tests to measure improvements. • Ensure that they comply with local health and safety standards.
