Is duct cleaning needed due to dust storm?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm a few weeks ago, I noticed a significant amount of dust collecting on furniture and electronics throughout my home. The AC in my apartment seems to be working overtime too, but still doesn’t feel as cool or clean as it should. Could this be related to duct cleaning issues? What steps can I take to ensure the air quality is improved without having to replace all the ducts?

The dust storm we experienced a few weeks back has indeed left its mark and it's not surprising to see an increase of dust accumulation on furniture and electronics. This can definitely be linked to the state of your air ducts. Dirty or clogged ductwork will lead to poor air quality, inefficient cooling, and can even impact health.

In Dubai, there are no specific regulations mandating regular duct cleaning; however, it is highly recommended for residents like you to have a professional inspection done, especially after such events. A thorough inspection by a certified HVAC technician can reveal the extent of dust buildup within your ducts and recommend appropriate cleaning services or other maintenance actions.

To tackle this issue effectively without having to replace all the ducts, consider these steps:

Firstly, ensure that your air filters are clean and replaced if necessary. Dirty filters can trap particles and contribute to poor air quality. Replacing them regularly is a simple yet effective way of improving indoor air.

Secondly, scheduling an inspection and cleaning with a professional company like ours (Saniservice) is advisable. We offer comprehensive duct cleaning services tailored for the UAE climate and conditions. This will not only remove dust but also address any mold or mildew that might have grown due to moisture from the recent storm.

Lastly, maintaining good indoor air quality can be further enhanced by ensuring proper ventilation in your home. Opening windows when weather permits can help freshen up the air and reduce indoor pollutants.
