Could dirty ducts affect AC performance?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a thick layer of dirt on our ceiling fan blades. The AC in my apartment seems to be working overtime too, but still doesn't feel as cool as it used to. Could this be due to duct issues? Should I consider having the ducts cleaned?

Yeah, dirty ducts can totally affect your AC's performance. In dubai/UAE, where we experience such extreme weather changes from cool to scorching fast, keeping those air conditioning systems running at their best is crucial. Dust and dirt accumulation inside the ducts can lead to a bunch of issues - from reduced airflow to increased energy consumption.
First off, let me explain how it works: your AC system pushes cooled air through these ducts into your living spaces. But if they're clogged with dust, debris, or even mold spores (which are more common in our region), that airflow is compromised. This means the AC has to work harder and longer to keep you cool - which not only wears it out faster but also leads to higher utility bills. Now, imagine how much extra dirt your ceiling fan collected from last month's dust storm. That's just a small glimpse of what might be going on inside those ducts. Over time, this buildup can significantly reduce the efficiency of your AC system. In Dubai and the UAE in general, we see these issues quite frequently due to the harsh climatic conditions and high levels of airborne particles. According to local regulations, it's recommended that you have a professional inspection at least once every 3-5 years to ensure everything is running smoothly. If you're noticing your AC working overtime or not cooling as well as it used to, it might be time for a thorough duct cleaning. This process involves using specialized equipment like brushes and vacuums to remove all the accumulated dirt and debris from within the ductwork. It’s also an excellent opportunity to check for any signs of mold or other contaminants that could pose health risks.
