Could duct issues cause my bedroom's musty smell?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had a couple of weeks ago, I noticed a persistent cough and sneezing when I enter my bedroom at night. The AC filter is pretty clean, but there's this musty smell that lingers in the room. Could it be related to the ducts? What signs should I look for if the ducts need cleaning?

Could duct issues cause my bedroom's musty smell?
Absolutely, it is highly possible that your bedroom's musty odor could be linked to problems within the ductwork. In the UAE, especially during the recent dust storms, it’s not uncommon for debris and dust to get into HVAC systems. This can lead to a myriad of issues including mold growth, which often gives off a musty smell. In Dubai, it's crucial to keep your indoor air quality in check as our climate is quite arid and warm. This makes conditions ripe for moisture accumulation within ductwork if proper maintenance isn't carried out regularly. Mold thrives in damp environments, and the dust storm you experienced might have created just such a condition. Some signs that your ducts need cleaning include: 1. Persistent musty or moldy odors 2. Visible dust buildup on walls, floors, or furniture near air vents 3. Increased allergy or asthma symptoms when spending time in certain rooms 4. Discoloration of the insulation within your ductwork For a thorough inspection and cleaning, it's highly recommended you call in professionals like Saniservice. They are well-versed with the UAE’s specific regulations on indoor air quality and can ensure that your HVAC system is up to code and functioning properly.
