Are strange noises and dampness signs of dirty ducts?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the corners of my bedroom, especially near the ceiling. The AC unit in my apartment has also started making strange noises, and it feels like there’s more dust than usual blowing out with the air. Could these be signs of dirty ducts? How can I prevent this from happening or recurring?

Yes, those could be signs of dirty ducts. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, our climate can exacerbate issues with air conditioning systems that aren't maintained properly. Dampness and strange noises are common indicators that your system might need a thorough inspection.

Dirty ducts can trap moisture, leading to dampness around the corners of your bedroom, especially near the ceiling. This is especially concerning as it could indicate mold growth, which isn’t just unpleasant but also poses health risks. Strange noises from the AC unit may stem from clogged filters or dust accumulation in the ductwork, causing airflow issues and potentially straining mechanical parts.

To prevent such occurrences, regular maintenance of your HVAC system is crucial. In Dubai, where we experience a range of weather conditions, ensuring that your air conditioning is serviced at least once a year by a certified professional can help catch these issues early on. Professionals will clean the ducts, replace filters, and check for any signs of wear or damage.

If you're experiencing persistent dampness and noises, it would be wise to call in experts like Saniservice for a thorough inspection.
