Could duct issues cause indoor dust storms?« Back to Previous Page

After the intense heat wave last summer, we noticed a persistent dust storm inside our living room whenever the air conditioning was turned on. The filters are regularly cleaned, but the dust still seems to circulate through the vents. Could this be due to issues with the ducts themselves? How often should I have them inspected and cleaned to prevent this from happening again?

Could duct issues cause indoor dust storms?

Absolutely. In dubai and the uae, we often face extreme weather conditions that can lead to high levels of particulate matter in the air. When the AC is on, it's common for some particles to be stirred up from your home’s environment and get pulled into the ductwork. However, if you're noticing a persistent dust storm every time the system turns on, there might indeed be an issue with the ducts themselves.

In dubai, the summer heat can cause the buildup of dust, hair, and other debris in the air conditioning ducts. Regular cleaning of filters alone may not always suffice as these particles can bypass your filter if they're too large or have settled deeply within the ductwork. Over time, this can lead to a significant amount of dust circulating through your home.

The good news is that regular inspection and cleaning of your duct system can help mitigate this issue. In dubai, it's generally recommended to inspect and clean your air conditioning ducts every 3-5 years or sooner if you notice any issues like the ones you're experiencing. This service should include a thorough visual inspection for signs of mold, pests, or excessive dust accumulation.

If the issue persists despite regular filter changes and professional cleaning intervals, it might be worth calling in an expert. Our company, saniservice, offers comprehensive duct inspections to identify any hidden problems that could be contributing to your indoor dust issues. We use advanced tools like endoscopes to check deep within the ducts and can provide a detailed report of our findings.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for your health and comfort in dubai’s climate.
