Should I worry about duct cleaning?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm a few weeks ago, I noticed an overwhelming musty smell lingering in my living room. My kids have been complaining of stuffy noses and persistent coughs, especially when they play near the windows where the AC vent is located. The vents themselves look pretty dirty with visible dust buildup. Could this be related to poor air quality from our duct system? What should I do about cleaning it to ensure better air for my family’s health?

Absolutely, duct cleaning is something to seriously consider. After that recent dust storm, it's quite plausible the air quality in your home has suffered significantly. Dust and other particulates can become airborne from those vents you described, leading to stuffy noses, persistent coughs, and even an unpleasant musty smell lingering around.
In dubai/Uae we often experience such storms which can kick up a lot of dust into our homes. The UAE doesn't have specific regulations for duct cleaning but it's important to ensure your air quality is up to par especially with kids around who may be more susceptible to respiratory issues. I'd recommend getting a professional inspection done first, just to rule out any other potential issues and to get an expert opinion on the state of your HVAC system. Many companies in dubai/Uae offer such services and can provide detailed reports. Once you've had that inspection, it might be time to clean those ducts. A thorough cleaning can really improve air quality in your home. Be prepared for a bit of disruption though - there will likely be some mess involved as the process involves vacuuming out all the dirt from within the ductwork. Afterwards, consider setting up a maintenance schedule with your HVAC provider to keep things running smoothly and prevent future buildups. Regular cleaning can help maintain good indoor air quality which is crucial for overall health in our environment here. If you do decide to go ahead with cleaning, make sure the company you choose uses HEPA filters during the process to capture even tiny particles. This will ensure that your home gets a deep clean and helps reduce allergens. For more information or assistance, feel free to contact us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com.
