Should I clean AC ducts immediately?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, it's wise to consider duct cleaning after such a dusty storm. In the UAE, particularly during events like dust storms, you can expect an influx of particulates into your home’s air system, and that can be detrimental if not addressed promptly.

In Dubai, regulations regarding indoor environmental quality are stringent, but they don’t specifically mandate regular duct cleaning. However, given the recent weather conditions and the noticeable increase in dust accumulation, it would be wise to have a professional inspection done. This will ensure that no hidden issues are present, such as mold growth or severe contamination.

Dust storms can introduce not only dust but also fine particulate matter, pollen, and other allergens into your system. If left unchecked, these could exacerbate respiratory problems for individuals in the house, especially those with allergies or asthma. Furthermore, the increase in air movement you noticed might indicate that the AC system is trying to clear out more particles, which can put additional strain on your equipment.

It’s recommended to contact a professional service provider like Saniservice (call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) for an inspection and cleaning. They have the expertise to handle such situations and ensure that your ducts are cleaned thoroughly to maintain optimal indoor air quality.

Remember, regular maintenance is key in keeping your HVAC system running smoothly and efficiently. Don't hesitate to reach out if you're unsure about what needs attention or how often your system should be inspected.
