Dubai, United Arab Emirates - HVAC systems are one of the most common ventilation and cooling systems in the UAE. They are widely used due to their efficiency in large properties. However, many debate the need to clean them regularly. Our experts at Adams Care share their thoughts on whether this is necessary or a needless expenditure.

"HVAC systems are made in a way that you cannot access them easily. Unlike domestic air conditioners, you cannot simply remove the filter and clean them. The filter of an HVAC system can be located in a panel within the vents or the floor register. Depending on the model, they could be difficult to remove on your own; hence, you will need to hire professionals. It is not just the filter; the entire system has parts that can be challenging to reach," shares an expert.

The outdoor unit is the most accessible HVAC system; however, it needs to be handled delicately to prevent damage. The ducts are the most difficult to access due to their extensive length and constricted space. The only way to clean them is through the use of industrial equipment.

"Given how challenging it is to clean them, some people simply refrain from doing so," shares the manager, "This is further purported by the claims that HVAC cleaning is unnecessary. However, this is inadvisable. When the system is not cleaned regularly, it can lead to the buildup of dust and mould. While this can affect the system's efficiency, it can have a devastating impact on your health as the air you breathe will no longer be safe. There is a high chance of developing asthma and breathing issues if the air is dusty. Mould could trigger allergic reactions and even cause major respiratory problems such as pneumonia and bronchitis."

Experts agree that cleaning the system is necessary to ensure that your health is not compromised. The link between contaminated air and respiratory concerns has been established through several studies. Therefore, ensuring the air inside a home is safe to breathe is crucial.

"What most people don't realize is that most experts are not divided in the belief that HVAC cleaning is essential. However, the cause of debate lies in its frequency. The system does not require a quarterly cleaning. Given the constant airflow, it can take time before enough dust or other contaminants pollute the air within a home. However, cleaning once every two years is risky as there can be a sufficient buildup of harmful microorganisms. Given the climate of Dubai, we recommend two cleaning sessions annually. One before the summer and one before winter. That will be more than adequate to keep your home safe," shares a professional.
