Should I clean AC ducts after dust storm?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I’ve noticed a persistent cough and sneezing every time I enter my living room, which is directly below the air vents. The AC seems to be blowing out this dusty air, and it’s worrying me that it might not just be dust – could it be something more harmful? Has anyone else experienced similar issues after storms in Dubai, or should I consider having the ducts cleaned?
Should I schedule a professional cleaning, or is there something else I can do first?

Absolutely, it sounds like your concerns are valid and definitely warrant an investigation. After the recent dust storms we experienced in Dubai, it's quite common for residents to encounter issues such as persistent coughing or sneezing when using their air conditioning systems. The dusty air being blown into your living room suggests that the HVAC system might be pulling in more than just harmless dust.
In the UAE, especially in areas prone to sand and dust storms like Dubai, it's crucial to keep an eye on indoor environmental quality. Dust accumulation in AC ducts can indeed harbor not only allergens but also potentially harmful particles or microorganisms. Given the severity of these storms, it’s wise to consider having your air ducts professionally inspected and cleaned. Here are a few steps you might take before scheduling a professional service: • Check for visible dust or debris on your air vents and registers. • Observe if there are any unusual smells emanating from the AC system. • Monitor if symptoms persist or worsen, especially when using the AC. If these signs indicate an issue, it would be prudent to call in a professional HVAC service provider. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice provide reliable duct cleaning services that comply with local regulations and standards. Their team can thoroughly inspect your ductwork, identify any contaminants, and clean or replace filters as necessary.
