How urgent is duct cleaning after a dust storm?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a significant amount of dust accumulating in the corners of the living room. The AC filter is caked with debris and it’s making a strange noise that didn't used to be there. How urgent do you think it is to have the ducts cleaned?

Duct cleaning is indeed a critical task after a dust storm like the one we had. The situation you're describing sounds rather urgent, especially considering how much dust has accumulated and the unusual noise coming from your AC filter.

Firstly, it's essential to understand that in Dubai/UAE, there are certain regulations regarding indoor air quality (IAQ) and HVAC systems. While specific laws might not directly address duct cleaning post-dust storm, maintaining clean and efficient ventilation is crucial for overall health and comfort. The dust from the recent storm can contain a variety of particles including pollen, sand, and other pollutants that can be harmful when they circulate through your home.

The noise you’re hearing in your AC filter could indicate a buildup of debris that might have clogged up the system. This is not only unpleasant but also potentially damaging to your air conditioning unit if left unchecked. Regular cleaning of the ducts can prevent such issues, ensuring smooth operation and extending the life of your equipment.

Given the circumstances, I would recommend having your ductwork professionally inspected and cleaned as soon as possible. A thorough inspection will help identify any areas where debris has accumulated that might not be visible from just looking at the filter. Professional cleaners use specialized tools to effectively remove deep-seated dirt and contaminants, ensuring a more hygienic environment.
