An unclean AC duct may be more problematic than you think and could be harbouring more dirt, mould and debris than you imagine.  How do you identify duct issues and get rid of AC odours in Dubai? It is crucial as we lead into summer and spend more time in our homes, to ensure your AC system is functioning properly.

Here are some signs your ducts may need cleaning:

1. Unexplainable and frequent accumulation of dust in your home

Have you ever given your home a thorough dusting session, only to find your furniture covered in a layer of thick dust, shortly afterwards? Your AC duct may be the culprit. Ducts tend to get dusty and once you turn on your AC, this dust is then circulated all over your home. 

2. Symptoms of allergies and other respiratory problems

Dust and debris are not the only elements that get trapped within your AC unit over time. An unclean AC duct is an ideal hangout spot for mould, mildew, pollen and various other allergens that can lead to respiratory problems and allergies in certain individuals. In addition, organic matter like pet hair and dander can also enter your AC unit, creating a conducive environment for scores of other bacteria and parasites. Yuck! 

3. Air that constantly smells of food 

Can’t seem to get rid of the smell of that spicy roast from 3 weeks ago? Your AC ducts may be at fault. If your ducts are coated with dust and dirt, it affects the quality of air circulation and causes the smell from food preparation to linger around for much longer. Each time you run your AC, it only causes these odours to circulate around your house.

4. Air that has a musty smell 

Additionally, if you notice a damp, musty odour in your home, it could be emanating from the growth of mould within your duct work. 

So is it time to call in AC cleaning services in Dubai?

Just like frequent hand washing can limit the spread of germs, regularly getting your AC serviced, Ducts and Coils cleaned will ensure clean air circulates through your property all through the summer months.

Duct cleans should be completed by specialised technicians who have all the right tools to get to those hard-to-reach places. At We Will Fix It, our technicians use a Rotobrush® which is the only duct cleaning equipment that both brushes and sucks the dirt away in one process thereby preventing the risk of contamination. Once completed, technicians apply antibacterial and antifungal deodorizers, leaving your ducts both clean and safe.
