Should we clean ducts after dust storm?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a thick layer of dirt accumulating on our furniture and window sills in the living room. The AC unit also seems to be working much harder than usual, even though it’s not particularly hot outside. How urgent is it for us to clean the ducts to avoid any potential health issues for our family?

Absolutely, after the dust storm we had last week, it's highly advisable to consider cleaning your ducts. Dust storms can be particularly harsh on indoor air quality and HVAC systems here in Dubai/UAE. Given that you've noticed dirt accumulation on furniture and windowsills, chances are there’s a fair amount of grit and debris clogging up the ductwork too.
In the UAE, we're often exposed to such storms, which can carry fine dust particles, pollen, and even small insects into our homes. These can get trapped in your air conditioning system's ducts, leading to reduced airflow efficiency and potentially poorer indoor air quality. This explains why your AC unit seems to be working harder than usual - it’s trying to push through more dirt and debris. Now, cleaning the ducts yourself might seem like an option but given the complexity of the job and the potential health implications, I strongly recommend engaging a professional service.

They will not only clean but may also inspect for other issues like mold growth which can be a serious health concern, especially if you or anyone in your family has allergies or respiratory conditions. Remember that regular maintenance is key in maintaining good indoor air quality here in the UAE. While dust storms are a part of life, keeping your ducts clean between major events helps ensure your home remains a healthy and comfortable space for everyone. Acting now can prevent potential health issues from lingering particles and help keep your AC system running smoothly.
