Are signs of dust storm indicating duct cleaning needed?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a thick layer of dust gathering on all my furniture downstairs. My air conditioning unit seemed to be working overtime too. Could this be a sign that our ducts need cleaning? What signs should I look for to confirm if we really need professional duct cleaning in our Dubai apartment?

Dust storms can indeed indicate that your ducts may need cleaning. The thick layer of dust you've noticed on furniture downstairs is a clear sign that the air passing through your system has not been filtered effectively, leading to particles accumulating inside and outside your unit.
In dubai, it's common for heavy winds and dust during sandstorms to find their way into homes and buildings. If your air conditioner seems to be working extra hard or if you notice a decrease in airflow, these could also point towards the need for duct cleaning. In fact, in uae, it is recommended that ductwork be inspected every 3-5 years, especially after major storms. Signs such as musty odors, allergy symptoms worsening, and increased energy bills can also suggest dirty ducts. Ducts that aren’t properly cleaned may become breeding grounds for mold and mildew, which are particularly concerning in the humid climate of dubai. Mold can severely impact indoor air quality and trigger respiratory issues. Given the potential health risks and inefficiencies, it's wise to schedule a professional inspection.
