Should I clean ducts after dust storm?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had a few weeks ago, I noticed a lot of dust collecting behind the air vents in my apartment. The AC unit in our living room also seems to be running louder than usual. Should I consider hiring professionals for duct cleaning or could this just be part of maintaining an older building?

Absolutely, the recent dust storm sounds like a good reason to consider having your ducts cleaned. In Dubai and the UAE, such storms can kick up huge amounts of particulate matter that easily gets into our HVAC systems, especially if they're not well-maintained. The dust you've noticed behind vents is likely from this storm and might just be an indicator of what's been building up over time.
Duct cleaning in the UAE follows local guidelines which recommend regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance of your air conditioning units. Given that you've noticed a change in how your AC runs, it’s worth having a professional inspection done. This will not only help clean out the dust but also identify any other issues like blockages or leaks. If you’re unsure about whether to hire professionals, consider this: most local HVAC regulations suggest cleaning every 3-5 years for residential units and more frequently if your system is older or if there are signs of contamination. Your situation with increased noise could be due to dust accumulation which can affect the airflow and thus increase the workload on your AC unit. A professional service like ours at Saniservice (call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) can provide a thorough inspection and cleaning that will help improve air quality in your home. We use state-of-the-art equipment to ensure safe and effective duct cleaning, which is especially important given the recent storm. Remember, clean ducts mean cleaner air for you and your family – essential considering the climate we have here in Dubai. It’s a small investment with big returns, not just in terms of energy savings but also in maintaining good health by reducing allergens and pollutants in your indoor environment. So, don't wait until your AC breaks down completely, get it inspected now and keep those ducts clean! |
