Should I clean AC ducts due to dust storm?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, cleaning your AC ducts is crucial after experiencing heavy dust storms like the one we had last week. In the UAE and particularly in Dubai, our environment can be quite dusty due to various factors including sandstorms which can really impact indoor air quality. The thick layer of dust you're noticing on surfaces and especially clogging up your AC vents sounds like a typical aftermath.

In the UAE, there are no specific regulations mandating duct cleaning but it is highly recommended for maintaining good indoor air quality, especially in areas prone to high dust levels such as our emirate. Cleaning your air conditioning ducts can greatly improve the overall cleanliness and efficiency of your system which, in turn, will help reduce allergens like pollen and dust mites that could be causing those coughing fits your kids have been experiencing.

A professional inspection is a good start; many companies offer this service where they'll assess the condition of your HVAC systems including ducts. This helps identify not just the obvious dirt but also potential issues that need addressing to ensure safe and effective operation. If you're uncomfortable doing it yourself, I highly recommend reaching out to a reputable company like Saniservice. Their contact details are 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or you can email them at hello@saniservice.com for further assistance.

Remember, clean air is vital, especially during and after dust storms. Keeping your AC ducts clean not only improves the air quality in your home but also extends the life of your system by preventing blockages that could lead to malfunctions. Plus, it can save you money on utility bills as a cleaner system operates more efficiently.

So, don't hesitate to take action and ensure the health of your family and the longevity of your HVAC system. Clean ducts can make all the difference!
