Could dirty ducts cause my musty smell?

Absolutely. In dubai and the UAE, especially after such heavy rains, humidity levels can rise significantly. This increase in moisture can lead to mold growth within your HVAC system's ductwork, which could be the source of that persistent musty odor you're experiencing.

In our region, we often see cases where air conditioning systems haven't been properly maintained and have allowed for water intrusion or condensation buildup. This creates a perfect environment for mold spores to thrive. The filters might appear clean but can still trap moisture which then gets pushed through your ducts causing an unpleasant smell in the living room.

Duct cleaning is highly recommended, especially if you haven't had it done in quite some time. In Dubai and throughout the UAE, regulations often require regular maintenance checks for HVAC systems to ensure they're operating efficiently and safely. Ductwork should be inspected every 3-5 years at a minimum, though more frequent cleanings may be necessary depending on usage.

If you suspect your ducts are causing issues, it's best to have them professionally inspected by an accredited company like ours here in Dubai. We offer specialized duct cleaning services which can eliminate any mold or mildew that might be growing within the system, thus reducing the chances of odor and potentially harmful airborne particles being circulated through your home.
