Is my HVAC setup causing indoor haze?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a persistent haze in the living room that doesn't seem to clear even after running the air purifiers. The bedrooms upstairs also feel more stuffy than usual. Could this be related to how our multi-zone HVAC system is set up? Any advice on what could be causing this and how to clean it effectively would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, the haze and stuffiness you're experiencing could be related to your HVAC setup. The recent dust storm may have introduced more particulate matter into your indoor environment, which is harder for your air purifiers alone to remove effectively. Given the specific climate in Dubai where sandstorms are a common occurrence, it's not unusual to face such issues.
In multi-zone systems like yours, there can be several factors contributing to these symptoms. First, check if your filters need replacing; clogged or dirty filters can restrict airflow and reduce air quality. In Dubai, it’s recommended to change your filters every 3-6 months depending on the frequency of dust storms and general use. Also consider the distribution system in your home. Some multi-zone systems might not effectively distribute clean air across all zones, especially if they are not balanced or maintained properly. It's important that each room receives adequate airflow to prevent stagnation of dirty air. To address this issue, you could start by scheduling a professional HVAC inspection with a company like ours at Saniservice. Our expertise in the UAE can help identify any issues and provide necessary adjustments or repairs. We are based here in Dubai and understand the local climate conditions and regulations such as those outlined in the GCC Indoor Air Quality Guidelines. In addition to professional help, you could also take some DIY steps: 1. Ensure all vents are not blocked and are open. 2. Increase the frequency of your air purifier usage if possible. 3. Consider adding more room-specific HEPA filters or portable air purifiers for areas like your living room that seem particularly affected. Remember, regular maintenance is key to keeping your HVAC system running efficiently. If you notice any persistent issues after taking these steps, it might be time to reach out for a professional assessment.
