Should I clean HVAC myself or call a pro?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent renovation of our living room, we’ve noticed a persistent dust cloud when the air conditioner kicks on. The HVAC unit is in the attic right above this room, and it’s been about two months since the work was done. Should I attempt to clean it myself or should I call a professional?

When dealing with dust and other particulates being circulated through your HVAC system after recent renovations, it’s crucial to ensure that the air quality remains safe. In dubai/Uae, we have specific regulations for indoor environmental quality which can be quite stringent, especially in residential areas like yours.

Given that you've noticed a persistent dust cloud when the AC turns on, this could indicate an accumulation of debris within your ductwork from the renovation process. It's important to address this promptly as it can not only affect air quality but also lead to system inefficiency over time.

DIY duct cleaning might seem like a viable option initially, but there are several factors you should consider before attempting it yourself:

1. Safety: Working in an attic requires proper safety gear, and the dusty environment may pose respiratory risks.
2. Professional Knowledge: Cleaning HVAC systems involves understanding how to safely remove contaminants without causing damage or spreading them further throughout your home.
3. Efficiency: Professionals have access to specialized equipment such as vacuum trucks, brushes, and air scrubbers which are designed for thorough cleaning of ductwork.

For these reasons, it is highly recommended that you call a professional HVAC service provider who specializes in both inspection and remediation services. These experts will use appropriate methods to clean your system effectively while ensuring the safety of your home environment.
