Should we clean AC ducts professionally?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm last month, we've noticed a persistent cough and runny nose, especially when the AC is on. The air feels thick and there's this weird smell in the ducts that I can sometimes trace to our bedroom. Have any of you noticed similar issues or should we consider having the ducts cleaned professionally?

Absolutely, it sounds like the recent dust storm could have caused some serious issues with your air conditioning system. In dubai and the uae, we often face such storms that can bring a lot of particulates into our homes, and these get easily trapped in the AC ducts. When the AC is running, these particles are circulated throughout the house, leading to discomfort like coughing and runny nose.
In your case, it's not uncommon to find a strange smell in the ducts that can be traced back to certain areas of the home, such as the bedroom. This could indicate a need for thorough cleaning or even some underlying issues with mold growth due to moisture build-up from the storm. Dubai and the uae have specific regulations regarding indoor air quality and HVAC maintenance, so it's wise to ensure your system is in compliance. I would recommend having a professional inspection done as soon as possible. Many companies offer free inspections which can be a good starting point. You might want to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more information on the services they provide and how to schedule an appointment. These professionals have the right tools and expertise to thoroughly clean your ducts, ensuring that your system is operating at its best. Regular maintenance can prevent similar issues from arising in the future. It's a good idea to have your AC system serviced twice a year—once before the start of summer and again just before winter. This not only keeps your home comfortable but also helps in reducing energy consumption by ensuring efficient operation of your AC unit. Remember, neglecting duct cleaning can lead to bigger problems down the line, such as increased allergens, mold growth, and even structural damage from water leaks if condensation accumulates inside the ductwork. So don't wait, act now to ensure a healthier indoor environment for you and your family! |
