Should I worry about duct cleaning?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a lingering dusty smell in my living room that won’t go away no matter how many times I clean. My family has also been complaining of coughing fits, especially my little one who’s been running a fever for the past few days. Should I be concerned about duct cleaning?

Absolutely, you should be concerned about duct cleaning. The dust storm we experienced last month could have introduced a significant amount of particulates into your HVAC system and ductwork. These particles can circulate throughout your home, contributing to the lingering dusty smell and respiratory issues you're experiencing.
In Dubai and the UAE, it’s important to note that the Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD) has guidelines for indoor air quality which include regular maintenance of HVAC systems. Given the recent storm, I'd recommend having a professional inspection done. This can help identify not just dust but other potential contaminants like mold or allergens that could be contributing to your family's discomfort. Moreover, coughing fits and fever in your little one are alarming signs. The dust particles might contain microorganisms which could cause respiratory infections. It’s crucial to address this issue promptly for the health of your family. I'd suggest reaching out to a professional HVAC service provider like Saniservice (call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) who can thoroughly clean and inspect your ductwork, ensuring it's free from contaminants. They will likely use specialized tools and techniques to deep-clean the entire system. Regular maintenance of your HVAC system is key in keeping indoor air quality at its best. But in cases like these where there’s a sudden influx of dust or other particles, professional intervention becomes essential. Don’t delay; act now to safeguard your family's health. |
