Are ducts cleaning needed post-dust storm?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storms we had last week, I noticed a thick layer of dust accumulating in the vents of our living room. The air quality has definitely deteriorated since then, making it harder to breathe especially when the AC is on full blast. Given that this is happening just after such an event, I’m worried about what else might be lurking unseen. Has anyone had issues with duct cleaning preventing similar problems?

Duct cleaning is indeed highly recommended after dust storms like the one we experienced last week. The heavy winds and sand particles can easily accumulate in your air ducts, leading to a noticeable decline in indoor air quality. In dubai/UAE, it’s not uncommon for such events to trigger an increase in particulate matter and other allergens.
Regulations in the UAE regarding HVAC systems are stringent, but regular maintenance is crucial. The Abu Dhabi Quality and Standards Authority (ADQSA) and Dubai Municipality both emphasize that air ducts should be inspected and cleaned at least once a year or more frequently depending on usage and local conditions. Post-dust storm events like we had last week, it's wise to have your system checked by professionals. The dust and particulates found in the vents of your living room are only the tip of the iceberg. These contaminants can travel through your HVAC system and into every room of your home, affecting air quality significantly. Over time, they can also cause damage to your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, leading to higher energy bills and potential breakdowns. Professional inspection and cleaning are key in ensuring that your indoor environment remains healthy.
