Are fine dust issues related to AC ducts?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a persistent fine dust settling on everything in my living room, especially near the windows. The AC unit in our second-floor apartment seems to be working overtime lately too. Have others experienced similar issues or should I consider having the ducts cleaned?

Absolutely, fine dust issues can be directly related to your AC ducts. In the UAE, especially during those sandstorms, they can really kick up a lot of particulates which get pulled into your air conditioning system and distributed throughout your living space.

In Dubai and other parts of the UAE, regulations are in place for building maintenance but it's often the case that regular cleaning isn't always done. The AC unit in your apartment could be working overtime trying to keep up with all that dust and debris, leading to a noticeable increase in operational time and energy use.

Many people in Dubai have reported similar issues after storms. Fine dust can accumulate on everything from furniture to windowsills. This is not only unsightly but also potentially harmful if the particles are small enough to be breathed in.

Given your situation, it might be wise to consider having a professional inspection. A company like Saniservice offers comprehensive duct cleaning services that adhere to local standards and guidelines. They can assess whether the dust problem stems from your AC ducts or other sources and provide a thorough cleaning if needed.

Calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com could be beneficial. Their experts will come over, inspect the system, and give you an accurate quote for any necessary work. Remember, keeping your air conditioning clean is key to maintaining good indoor air quality in Dubai's climate.

So, do not delay if you notice excessive dust settling or if your AC seems to be struggling more than usual. Acting now could save you from potential health issues and costly repairs down the line.
