Is duct cleaning causing my AC issues?« Back to Previous Page

Duct cleaning can indeed be linked to your AC issues. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, our climate often sees rapid changes in humidity and temperature, which can affect indoor air quality and HVAC systems. The persistent damp smell you're experiencing might indicate moisture buildup within your ductwork, especially after rainfall.

When water seeps into the system or condensation occurs due to fluctuating temperatures, it can create an ideal environment for mold growth. Mold produces spores and unpleasant odors that can permeate through the air conditioning system, leading to a musty smell in your bedroom.

Moreover, excessive moisture within the ducts can cause corrosion and structural damage over time. This can lead to a reduction in airflow efficiency as debris or mold may accumulate, making your AC unit work harder but less effectively.

In Dubai, regulations require regular maintenance of HVAC systems to ensure they meet energy efficiency standards and do not pose health risks. Given that you're noticing these issues post-rain, it might be worth having a professional inspection done to determine the extent of any damage or contamination within the ducts.

If your assessment proves that there are indeed issues with your ductwork, consider having them cleaned by licensed professionals who adhere to local standards like those set out by the Dubai Municipality. They will use appropriate techniques and equipment to remove debris and treat any mold growth without causing further damage.
