Should I clean the central system myself or hire pros?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last month, the central cleaning system in my penthouse has been making a lot of noise and blowing dirt everywhere. It’s quite concerning, especially since it’s barely been two years old. Should I consider hiring professionals to clean it or is there something basic I can do myself?

Cleaning your central system can indeed be quite a task and given the recent dust storms that have affected the UAE, it's understandable why you're concerned. In Dubai, we've seen a significant increase in such issues due to the weather conditions.

Firstly, i would recommend having the system inspected by professionals. The fact that your system is only two years old but is making noise and blowing dirt could indicate serious issues like worn-out components or even some blockages. This isn't something you'd want to tackle yourself without proper knowledge of the system and its components.

In Dubai, it's also important to comply with local building regulations which may require regular inspections and maintenance for such systems. If there are any doubts about your system's performance, a professional can help ensure that everything is up to code and that your space remains safe and healthy.

If you decide to go the DIY route, here are some basic steps:

1. Turn off the power supply to the system to avoid any electrical hazards.
2. Check if there are filters in place; they usually need cleaning or replacing every 3-6 months depending on usage.
3. For the indoor units, use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to gently clean the dust collection areas. Be careful not to damage any components.
4. If you notice significant dirt accumulation in your ducts, it might be best to hire someone who has the right equipment and expertise.

However, for a thorough cleaning or if you're unsure about what's going on, calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com would be a wise move. They can provide expert advice and services tailored to your needs in Dubai.

Remember, maintaining indoor air quality is crucial, especially after such dusty weather events. If the issue persists even with basic cleaning, professional intervention is definitely recommended.
