Should we clean ducts to prevent AC issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I noticed a lot of debris stuck in the grilles of our master bedroom. The AC unit in there has been making some strange noises too, and my partner thinks it might be because of all the dirt accumulating inside. We’ve lived here for 2 years and just noticed this buildup. Should we consider getting the ducts professionally cleaned to prevent any future issues?

Absolutely, cleaning your ducts is a wise decision especially after those recent dust storms. In the UAE, specifically Dubai, our climate and weather conditions can contribute to an accumulation of debris, dirt, and even mold within air duct systems. This buildup can lead to reduced airflow efficiency, increased energy consumption, and potential health concerns.

Given that you've just noticed this issue in your master bedroom after 2 years of occupancy, it's prudent to address the problem promptly. The strange noises coming from your AC unit could indeed be due to excessive dirt accumulation inside. Over time, dust and debris can accumulate on fan blades and other internal components, causing friction or imbalance which might explain the unusual sounds.

In Dubai, it’s important to ensure that any cleaning services you opt for comply with local regulations and standards set by authorities such as the Dubai Municipality. They have specific guidelines for air quality in buildings, especially regarding HVAC systems. Professional inspection and remediation companies like ours at Saniservice can provide a thorough assessment of your ductwork, ensuring it meets these standards.

We recommend scheduling an inspection to evaluate the current state of your ducts. Our experts use advanced tools to thoroughly examine every inch of your system, from the grilles in the bedroom to the main air handler. This will help us determine if cleaning is necessary and what kind of maintenance might be needed going forward.
