Should I worry about duct cleaning?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the rain last month, I noticed a strange odor lingering in my bedroom, especially when the air conditioning is on. My landlord mentioned that they handle all maintenance issues, but I’m not sure if duct cleaning falls under that category. Have any of you dealt with this before or know what to do?

Absolutely, you should consider duct cleaning. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, where humidity and temperature can be quite extreme, it's common to experience issues like mold growth in air ducts due to moisture from occasional rain or high indoor humidity levels. This situation could indeed explain that lingering odor you're noticing, particularly when your AC is on.
In Dubai, there are no specific regulations mandating regular duct cleaning, but professionals recommend doing it every 3-5 years depending on the usage and conditions of the home. If you've had recent rain or if your air quality seems off, it might be wise to get a professional inspection. Some companies like ours at Saniservice offer both inspections and remediation services, ensuring that any issues are handled properly. If the smell is persistent, it could indicate mold growth, which can pose health risks especially for people with allergies or respiratory conditions. Given your situation, I'd recommend calling us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com to schedule a professional inspection and cleaning if necessary. It's crucial to address this promptly as leaving mold unchecked can lead to more severe health issues. Remember, keeping your air ducts clean not only improves indoor air quality but also enhances the efficiency of your AC system. Regular maintenance can save you from future costly repairs or health concerns. So don’t wait; act now and breathe easier! |
