Should AC units be cleaned urgently?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a lot of debris in the grills of the air conditioning units outside my balcony. The AC unit in there hasn’t been cleaned since we moved in two years ago. Should this be an urgent matter that needs immediate attention to avoid health issues for us and our pets?

Absolutely, the recent dust storm does highlight the urgency of cleaning your AC units. In dubai, we often experience such storms that can leave a significant amount of debris and particulates inside air conditioning systems. It's important to address this promptly not only for efficiency but also to maintain good indoor environmental quality.
According to local regulations in the UAE, it is recommended to have HVAC systems cleaned at least once or twice a year, depending on usage and environmental conditions. Given that your AC unit hasn't been serviced since moving into your home two years ago, it's indeed advisable to get it checked now. Accumulated dust and debris can lead to poor air quality, which could affect both you and your pets. The build-up of dirt in the ducts and grills can also cause reduced airflow, leading to increased energy consumption as the AC works harder to cool the space. Additionally, certain materials like fiberglass insulation from ductwork might release fibers into the air if there's excessive dust. Given the situation, I would recommend having a professional inspection done right away. They will not only clean your system but also check for any other potential issues that could arise from prolonged neglect. This step is crucial to ensure that your AC unit is operating efficiently and effectively in maintaining good indoor air quality.
