After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a persistent musty smell coming from the living room ductwork. The AC has been running more often than usual, and I keep hearing odd noises when it’s on. Could these issues be related to the ducts needing cleaning?

Absolutely! Duct issues can indeed cause smells and noises. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai where temperatures soar during summer and coolness is desired throughout the year, your air conditioning (AC) system plays a crucial role. If you've noticed a persistent musty smell coming from the living room ductwork or have heard odd noises when it’s running more often than usual, these could be signs that your ducts are in need of cleaning.
In the UAE, especially with the climate and heavy rainfall last month, moisture can accumulate within the duct system. This moisture can lead to mold growth, which is a common culprit for musty smells. Mold not only affects air quality but also poses health risks, particularly to individuals with respiratory issues like asthma or allergies. The noises you're hearing might be due to debris in the ducts, insufficient insulation, or even loose components. These could indicate that your system isn’t running as efficiently as it should, leading to increased operation time and possibly higher energy bills too. Given these symptoms, it’s highly recommended that you have a professional inspection done. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer comprehensive duct cleaning services which not only address the smell issue but also improve overall air quality and efficiency of your AC system.
