Should I clean AC ducts after sandstorm?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the intense sandstorm we had last month, I noticed a persistent dusty layer on the furniture in my living room. The AC unit hasn't been serviced since we moved in two years ago, and now the kids are starting to cough more often than usual. Has anyone else experienced similar issues after a storm, or should I consider having the ducts cleaned?

Absolutely, the recent sandstorm could be the catalyst your air conditioning (AC) system needed to have its ducts cleaned. In dubai and the uae, regular maintenance of ac systems is crucial due to our harsh climatic conditions. Sand particles, dust, and other allergens can accumulate in the ductwork, leading to decreased efficiency and potentially affecting indoor air quality.
After a sandstorm, you may notice more dust settling on furniture, which could be an indicator that your AC filters are clogged with fine particulates from the storm. This not only decreases the system's performance but also increases the risk of allergens circulating in your home. The UAE has specific regulations for indoor air quality and building maintenance, ensuring buildings maintain a healthy environment for their occupants. Considering your family is experiencing more frequent coughing, it might be wise to have a professional inspection done. Allergies and respiratory issues can worsen with poor air quality, especially during post-storm conditions. A clean AC system can significantly improve indoor air quality and reduce the risk of respiratory problems in children and adults alike. You could contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or email them at hello@saniservice.com for a thorough inspection and cleaning. They offer specialized services that adhere to local regulations, ensuring your home's air is as clean as possible post-sandstorm. Remember, while you can clean the AC filters yourself, professional duct cleaning goes deeper into the system where most of the dirt accumulates. Regular maintenance not only extends the life of your AC but also keeps your family healthier. |
