How urgent is duct cleaning with persistent dust storms?« Back to Previous Page

After the intense heat wave last month, I noticed a persistent dust storm coming from the vents in my bedroom. The AC filter is clean, but the smell of mildew keeps lingering, especially when we run the air conditioning. How urgent do you think it is to have the ducts cleaned?

Duct cleaning can be very urgent especially given the conditions you're describing. In Dubai and UAE, the climate is harsh with intense heat waves followed by sudden cooling from air conditioning. These drastic changes can lead to the accumulation of dust, mildew, and other allergens within your HVAC system's ductwork. The persistent dust storms and lingering smell of mildew in your bedroom suggest that your ducts may indeed be a source of these issues.
According to the Abu Dhabi Environmental Agency (ADEA) and Dubai Municipality, maintaining clean and efficient HVAC systems is crucial for indoor air quality. Regular inspection and cleaning of ductwork should be considered an essential part of any maintenance plan, particularly in areas like UAE where environmental conditions can quickly deteriorate into dust storms or mold growth. Given the severity of your situation, it would be wise to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection. They will assess the condition of your ducts and recommend the necessary cleaning procedures based on their expertise in the region. Proper duct cleaning can help remove dust, debris, and mildew which not only improve air quality but also enhance the efficiency of your AC system. Additionally, while you mentioned that the AC filter is clean, it's worth checking for any blockages or leaks that might be allowing dust to enter from other areas. Ensure that your HVAC system is well-maintained by scheduling regular service checks and cleaning throughout the year. This proactive approach will not only address the current issue but also prevent future problems. Remember, in hot climates like Dubai’s, the health benefits of clean air are substantial—reducing allergens can significantly improve your comfort and overall well-being during extended periods of use for your AC system.
