Is duct cleaning necessary after dust storms?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a significant amount of dust settling on everything in our living room. Our air conditioner filters are almost always clogged, which is causing the AC to run louder than usual and not as efficiently as it should. The vents in the bedrooms also seem to be blowing out warmer air than they used to. Has anyone here had similar issues and found that professional duct cleaning helped prevent these problems from recurring?

Duct cleaning can indeed be necessary after dust storms, especially here in the UAE. The region we live in experiences strong sandstorms that can deposit a significant amount of particulates into our homes and buildings. This was quite evident from the last storm, where you noticed an increase in dust settling on surfaces and observed changes in how your air conditioning system is performing.
In Dubai/UAE, after such storms, it's wise to consider professional duct cleaning. The UAE doesn’t have specific regulations mandating this, but with our climate, regular maintenance is highly recommended for indoor environmental quality and efficiency of HVAC systems. When dust accumulates in the ductwork, it can lead to a variety of issues including decreased air flow, which results in your AC running louder and less efficiently. This not only increases energy consumption but also reduces the comfort level in your home or office. Moreover, clogged ducts may cause warm air to be blown out from vents instead of cool air, as you've observed. To address this, I recommend having a professional inspection done by companies like Saniservice. They can assess the condition of your HVAC system and ductwork, ensuring that any damage or contamination is identified and addressed promptly. If necessary, they will perform thorough cleaning to remove all the dust and debris, making sure your air conditioning operates at its best. Call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 for a free consultation on when and how to clean your ducts. Don't forget that regular maintenance can prevent future issues and ensure you're breathing clean air in your home or office. Remember, taking care of your HVAC system now could save you from bigger problems later. Hope this helps! |
