Should I hire a pro for indoor air quality?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be working overtime, but I still feel a bit of humidity lingering, especially in the bedrooms. I live in Dubai Marina, and with the temperature hovering around 40°C, I'm worried about indoor air quality. I’ve noticed my kids have been sneezing more often, and I can't shake the feeling that there might be something in the air. Would it be worth hiring a professional to check the indoor air quality and possibly clean the ducts, or can I just invest in some air purifiers? What kind of costs should I expect?

Given the conditions you've described in your apartment in Dubai Marina, it would be wise to consider hiring a professional to assess your indoor air quality (IAQ). The persistent humidity, coupled with your children's increased sneezing, may indicate underlying issues that could be affecting the air quality in your home.

In Dubai’s climate, high outdoor temperatures often lead to increased indoor moisture levels, especially if your air conditioning system is not functioning efficiently. Humidity can promote mold growth, dust mites, and other allergens, which could be contributing to your family’s respiratory discomfort.

The UAE has specific regulations concerning indoor air quality, including guidelines set forth by the Emirates Authority for Standardization and Metrology (ESMA) and the Dubai Municipality. These regulations emphasize the importance of maintaining healthy indoor environments, particularly in residential spaces. A professional inspection can help ensure that your apartment complies with these standards and that any potential hazards are addressed properly.

While air purifiers can be a beneficial addition to your home, they may not be a complete solution if there are significant issues within your HVAC system, such as dirty ducts or mold growth. A thorough duct cleaning and inspection of your AC system can help improve airflow and reduce humidity levels, leading to an overall better indoor environment.

Hiring a professional service typically costs between AED 500 to AED 1500, depending on the size of your apartment and the extent of the inspection and cleaning required. It's an investment in your family's health and comfort that could yield significant benefits.

If you suspect serious issues or if your children’s symptoms persist, I strongly recommend reaching out to a qualified indoor air quality specialist. You can call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation. They can provide tailored solutions based on your specific situation and help ensure your home is a safe and healthy place for your family.
