Could ductwork issues cause AC inefficiency?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a persistent layer of dust and debris accumulating on top of our window sills, which is strange because we clean regularly. The AC unit in my apartment seems to be working overtime and isn’t as efficient as it used to be. Could this be related to ductwork issues? Should I consider having the ducts cleaned professionally to prevent these problems from recurring?

Absolutely! Ductwork issues can indeed affect the efficiency of your AC system. In Dubai and other parts of the UAE, our climate often results in high levels of dust and particulates which can easily settle within the ducts of buildings. The recent dust storm you mentioned could have contributed to a significant increase in the amount of debris inside your unit.
When the air conditioning filters are not regularly cleaned or replaced, they become clogged with dust, allergens, and other particles. This can lead to reduced airflow through the system, making it work harder and thus less efficiently. You might notice that your AC seems to be running longer than usual without cooling as well as it used to. In Dubai, there are specific regulations regarding indoor air quality (IAQ) which include guidelines for maintenance of HVAC systems. Ensuring regular cleaning and inspection of ducts is part of these protocols. It's not uncommon for professionals to recommend a deep clean after severe weather events like the one you experienced. I would strongly suggest contacting a professional company to assess your system. They can perform a thorough inspection, identify any blockages or issues within the ductwork, and provide necessary cleaning services. At Saniservice, we offer comprehensive duct cleaning which not only removes accumulated dust but also sanitizes the air passages ensuring a healthier indoor environment. Considering the UAE climate, it's crucial to maintain your AC system for both efficiency and health reasons. Don't wait until you notice major issues; proactive maintenance can save you from potential costly repairs down the line. Remember that regular servicing and cleaning can extend the lifespan of your AC unit and keep your home or office more comfortable. So, if you're in Dubai and experiencing these kinds of issues with your AC, it might be a good idea to give us a call at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for an inspection and professional cleaning.
