Can I handle haze and AC issues on my own?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the dust storm that hit Dubai a few days ago, I’ve noticed an unusual haze settling in my living room, even with the windows tightly shut. The AC seems to struggle more than usual to keep up, and it’s making breathing a bit harder for everyone in the house. Do you think I can manage this on my own or should I call in a professional?

Hi there,
First off, it's good that you're looking into this matter. Dust storms can indeed bring in a lot of particulate matter and make your indoor environment less than ideal. In the UAE, especially during dust storm seasons, we often see an increase in air pollutants due to these events. In general, managing dust storms and their aftermath on your own is possible but might require some effort depending on the severity. You've already noticed that the AC seems to struggle more which indicates a higher concentration of particulate matter. This can indeed affect breathing as well, especially for those with respiratory issues or young children. To start off, here are few things you can do: 1. Use HEPA filters in your air conditioning system if possible. These can help capture fine particles and improve indoor air quality. 2. Keep windows tightly shut and use an air purifier to filter the air inside your home. Make sure it's a model with high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters for best results. 3. Use wet mops or cloths to clean floors and surfaces as dry sweeping can actually spread dust around. However, if you find that these measures don't significantly improve conditions, it might be time to consider professional assistance. In the UAE, we have specific regulations regarding indoor air quality which a professional can help assess and address. They will also ensure that your HVAC system is functioning optimally during such times. If things get too uncomfortable or if anyone in your household experiences worsening symptoms, don't hesitate to contact us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection and remediation service. Remember, while you can manage the immediate effects of dust storms on your own, ensuring that your indoor environment remains clean and healthy is crucial. Stay safe! Best regards, [Your Name] |
