What should I check during duct cleaning?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a lot of dust accumulating in my bedroom, which has really affected my allergies. The AC unit in this room seems to be the worst offender, as it’s been running non-stop since the storm. Is there anything specific I should look out for when getting duct cleaning done, or is it best to have all the vents checked at once?

When it comes to duct cleaning in Dubai, especially following the recent dust storm, it's essential to ensure that you're doing things right. First off, always be aware of the local regulations and standards for indoor air quality. In the UAE, including the Emirate of Dubai, there are no specific laws governing duct cleaning practices but ensuring a thorough job is crucial for maintaining good indoor air quality.

Before opting for duct cleaning, consider having your HVAC system inspected by a professional to identify any issues that may require immediate attention. Dust accumulation can be a sign of larger problems such as blockages or poor airflow which might need addressing during the cleaning process.

When it comes to choosing a service provider, look for companies certified in building sciences and specifically ductwork maintenance. In Dubai, you could consider Saniservice, with their expertise they offer reliable services. Call 800-MOLDS (66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for more information.

During the cleaning process, it's important to ensure that the service provider uses appropriate techniques and equipment. The cleaning should not only focus on removing visible dust but also include deep-cleaning methods such as brushing or vacuuming of the ducts and registers. It’s crucial to have all vents checked at once since a thorough job can prevent recontamination.

To further ensure your peace of mind, ask for before-and-after photos and reports detailing the work done. This will help you understand what areas were cleaned and if there were any significant issues that required attention. Additionally, inquire about their use of HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters during cleaning to capture smaller particles.

Remember, while duct cleaning can significantly improve indoor air quality, it’s just one part of maintaining a healthy environment in your home or office. Regular filter replacements and maintenance of the HVAC system are also key to ensuring ongoing good health for you and your family.

In conclusion, taking proactive steps like thorough duct cleaning after severe weather events such as dust storms is important. Make sure to choose reputable professionals who understand the local climate conditions and can provide comprehensive service. Don’t forget to follow up with inspections post-cleaning to ensure lasting results.
