Could dust storm cause AC noises and dirty ducts?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a thick layer of dust on the windowsills and furniture in my living room. The AC unit in the hallway has also been making strange noises lately, almost like rattling. Has anyone else experienced this? Could it be related to the ducts needing cleaning?

Yes, the dust storm last month could certainly be linked to your AC noises and dirty ducts. Dust storms can bring in massive amounts of particulates into the air which then settle inside your HVAC system and ductwork over time. The noise you're hearing from your AC unit is a classic sign that something's amiss - it might even indicate a build-up of debris or obstructions within the ductwork.
In Dubai, we've seen cases where dust storms have led to such issues. As per UAE regulations, regular maintenance and cleaning of HVAC systems are crucial for maintaining indoor air quality and ensuring efficient operation. The Abu Dhabi Executive Council has also emphasized the importance of routine checks during dusty seasons. Given your symptoms, it would be wise to schedule a professional inspection and duct cleaning. This will not only help alleviate the noise but ensure that the system is operating at its best efficiency. Accumulated dust can lead to increased energy consumption and potentially affect the overall health of occupants in the building by introducing allergens into the air.
