Is ductwork causing dusty odor?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a strong dusty odor lingering in my bedroom, especially right after the air conditioning turns on. It’s concerning because it feels like there's more dust than usual circulating. Could this be related to the ductwork? What should I do next?

Absolutely, the dusty odor coming from your bedroom could be linked to the ductwork. In Dubai and other parts of the UAE, it's quite common for dust storms to kick up a lot of particulates that can get trapped within the HVAC system over time. When you run the air conditioning post-storm, these particles may get circulated back into your living space.
In such scenarios, it’s important to ensure the ducts are clean and free from accumulated debris. The dust storm last month might have stirred up old deposits in your ductwork which can then be spread throughout your home when the AC is turned on. This explains why you're noticing a stronger dusty odor especially after using the air conditioning. In Dubai, regulations do require that HVAC systems and ducts are regularly maintained to ensure they don't become breeding grounds for dust, mold, or other allergens. It's advisable to have a professional inspection done by a company like ours at Saniservice. We can conduct a thorough check of your system and recommend necessary cleaning services if needed.
