Should I clean AC ducts after dust storm?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had a couple of weeks ago, I noticed a layer of dirt accumulating on surfaces near the air vents in my bedroom. The AC seems to be working overtime too, making more noise than usual. Is it urgent that I get the ducts cleaned or can this wait?

Absolutely, it's a wise idea to consider cleaning your AC ducts after the recent dust storm. Dust storms can be particularly harsh on indoor air quality and HVAC systems like yours. The UAE often experiences such weather events, which can lead to a significant amount of dirt and debris being deposited within your ductwork.
In Dubai and other parts of the UAE, it's not just about aesthetics—it’s also crucial for maintaining optimal air quality and ensuring efficient operation of your air conditioning system. A layer of dirt on surfaces near vents suggests that this dust is circulating through your home. Over time, accumulated dust can block airflow, leading to increased energy consumption as the AC struggles harder to cool your space. Moreover, it could be causing more noise from the unit straining to push air through. Following a dust storm, inspecting and possibly cleaning the ducts should definitely not wait. In fact, according to local regulations, regular maintenance is recommended to ensure that your HVAC system operates at its best and complies with environmental standards set forth by the government of Dubai. Professionals can use specialized tools to remove deep-seated dirt and even mold spores if present, which can be a hidden risk in stormy conditions.
