After the heavy dust storm a few weeks ago, I noticed a lot of dirt and debris settling on my furniture and floors, especially in the living room. My AC unit seems to be working overtime and making more noise than usual too. Should I consider hiring professionals for duct cleaning or is it something that can wait?

Absolutely, after the recent dust storm, it's a smart move to consider duct cleaning. The UAE often experiences such storms which can deposit an awful lot of dirt and debris into your home’s air ducts. In Dubai specifically, regulations might not mandate regular duct cleaning but they do recommend it as part of maintaining good indoor air quality.
The accumulation of dust and other particles in the air ducts can indeed affect how well your AC system operates. You mentioned that it seems to be working overtime and making more noise – this is a clear sign that something's off. The extra strain on your unit could lead to higher energy bills, reduced efficiency, and possibly even shorter equipment lifespan. Cleaning the ducts can help restore your HVAC system to its optimal performance while also improving air quality in your home. This process typically involves removing visible debris from inside the ducts as well as treating them with disinfectants or anti-microbial solutions to kill any mold spores that might have settled in during the storm. However, it’s important to call professionals for this task. A reputable company like Saniservice (call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) can ensure thorough cleaning without damaging your ductwork. They are familiar with UAE standards and can provide a safe, effective solution tailored specifically for Dubai. Do not hesitate to get an inspection done before diving into the cleaning process. Professionals will be able to assess any hidden issues that might need addressing now or in the future. Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial especially considering the dusty conditions we experience here frequently. In summary, yes, you should definitely consider duct cleaning after such a storm. It’s better to address it sooner rather than later to prevent potential long-term problems with your HVAC system and overall home environment. |
