Should we clean AC ducts to avoid dust?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a lingering sand-like residue on the furniture downstairs. My kids have been complaining of itchy throats and runny noses since then, and I’m really worried about them breathing in all that dust from our AC ducts. The vents in my living room are directly above their bedrooms. Have you ever had similar concerns? Should we get the ducts cleaned professionally to make sure they’re not inhaling harmful particles while they sleep?

Absolutely, cleaning AC ducts is a wise step especially after such a dusty event. In the UAE, particulate matter from sandstorms can easily find its way into our air conditioning systems and circulate throughout our homes. In Dubai particularly, these storms are more common during certain months of the year, making it crucial to maintain your HVAC system.

In the last few days, I've heard from several clients concerned about their family's health after a dust storm. The symptoms you mentioned - itchy throats and runny noses in kids - could indeed be linked to airborne particles. Dust, pollen, and even mold spores can trigger respiratory issues, especially for children.

According to the UAE’s Ministry of Community Development, maintaining indoor air quality is essential for health and comfort. Professional duct cleaning services are recommended every 2-3 years or after a significant event like a sandstorm to ensure your home's air remains clean and healthy.

It's important to choose reputable service providers with experience in the region. At Saniservice, we've been serving Dubai for over a decade and have a team of certified professionals who can inspect, clean, and maintain your AC system effectively. They use HEPA filters during cleaning processes which capture even tiny particles that might otherwise pass through standard vacuum systems.

Moreover, regular inspections help in identifying any hidden issues before they become major problems. For instance, if there’s significant dust accumulation or signs of mold growth inside the ducts, addressing these issues promptly can prevent them from spreading further into your living spaces.

If you decide to proceed with cleaning, make sure the service provider uses EPA-certified products and practices. Additionally, check their credentials and reviews online. At Saniservice, we offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee and a free consultation where we assess your specific needs.

To get started, you can contact us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an appointment. Don’t wait; breathe easy knowing that harmful particles are being removed from the air your family breathes.
