How urgent is cleaning the ductwork?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent sandstorms in Dubai, I noticed a persistent dust cloud when the air conditioner kicks on. The bedroom right next to the AC unit seems the worst affected; it’s almost like there’s dirt being blown around every time we turn it on. How urgent do you think it is to get this ductwork cleaned?

Cleaning the ductwork in your home post-sandstorms is indeed quite urgent. The persistent dust cloud coming from your air conditioner and especially noticeable in your bedroom indicate a serious issue that needs to be addressed promptly.
In Dubai and UAE, it's essential to keep indoor air quality in top shape, given our frequent sandstorms and high temperatures. According to the UAE Building Code 2019, which emphasizes the importance of ventilation systems for maintaining healthy indoor environments, regularly cleaning your HVAC system is a must. This includes the ductwork as part of a comprehensive maintenance plan. Given the severity of your situation, it would be wise to have a professional inspection done first. Local regulations mandate that any HVAC system should be inspected and maintained by certified professionals every 2-3 years at minimum. However, in cases like yours where there's visible dust or dirt issues, an immediate assessment is recommended. Dust and debris can accumulate over time, leading not only to reduced air quality but also to potential damage to your AC unit and other components of the system. The sand from the recent storms could have blown directly into your ductwork, exacerbating the problem. To get started, you might want to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional assessment. They can provide detailed cleaning services that involve not just removing visible dirt but also sanitizing and disinfecting the entire system to prevent future issues. Remember, clean ductwork is key to ensuring your AC operates efficiently, which in turn helps maintain consistent temperatures and better air quality throughout your home.
