Do I need to clean ducts now?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I noticed a persistent gritty residue building up on the windowsills of my second-floor apartment. The AC unit in the hallway also seems to be working overtime and sounds louder than usual. Given how long it’s been since our ducts were cleaned—three years now—is this something urgent that needs addressing, or can we wait until spring?

Absolutely, it sounds like your concern is very valid and worth addressing. In dubai, the frequent dust storms can indeed lead to a significant accumulation of debris within the ductwork of buildings. This can result in reduced air quality and efficiency of your HVAC system, just as you've noticed with the increased effort from your ac unit.
The UAE's building codes and environmental regulations emphasize maintaining good indoor air quality for health and comfort. Dust storms are notorious for carrying a lot of fine particles that can be harmful when breathed in over time. Additionally, clogged ducts can force your AC to work harder, increasing energy consumption and potentially leading to higher utility bills. It’s recommended you have the ductwork inspected by a professional as soon as possible. This is particularly true given how long it's been since they were last cleaned—three years. An experienced technician will be able to assess the condition of your ducts, identify any blockages or damage, and advise on necessary cleaning or repairs. Regular maintenance can greatly extend the life of your HVAC system while improving overall air quality in your home. In dubai where summers are particularly harsh, it's crucial that your AC is operating efficiently. By cleaning the ductwork now, you could avoid potential issues like mold growth which is a serious concern in this region due to high humidity levels.
