Should I clean my ducts professionally?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent damp smell coming from my living room vents. It's really bothering me because I don't want to deal with this again. The filters seem clean, but I’m worried about what’s inside the ducts. Should I consider having the ducts cleaned professionally?

Absolutely, it's wise to consider having your ducts cleaned professionally. In dubai and the uae, we experience some climatic changes that can sometimes affect indoor air quality. The persistent damp smell coming from your vents could be due to moisture or mildew buildup within the ductwork. While you mention that the filters seem clean, it's important to know that these only capture a portion of what’s circulating through the system.
In dubai, there are no specific regulations mandating regular duct cleaning, but many professionals recommend getting them cleaned every 3-5 years or sooner if you experience issues like odors, allergies, or see visible debris. The UAE environment, with its high humidity and occasional heavy rains, can create ideal conditions for mold growth within the HVAC system. If the smell persists, it’s crucial to have a professional inspection done. A certified technician will use specialized equipment to assess your ductwork, identifying any issues like blockages, leaks, or contamination that could be causing the odor. They might also check for insulation damage and ensure proper ventilation. Remember, improper cleaning can lead to further problems such as spreading dust and allergens throughout your home. That's why it’s important to choose a reputable company with experience in the region.
