How urgent is cleaning air vents?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a lot of debris stuck in the vents throughout the living room. It’s been about two weeks since then, and now my family is starting to complain about a lingering dusty smell, especially when the air conditioning turns on full blast. How urgent do you think it is to have this checked out?

Cleaning the air vents is definitely something that should be prioritized. After the dust storm you mentioned, it's quite understandable to have a layer of debris stuck within your HVAC system and ductwork, which can lead to issues like the dusty smell you're experiencing.

In the UAE, especially in Dubai, there are no specific regulations mandating regular air vent cleaning. However, considering the climate, high temperatures, and dust storms that are common here, it's recommended to have this done at least once a year or after any significant weather event like a sandstorm.

The situation you're describing is quite typical. When the A/C system runs full blast, the trapped debris can get stirred up and circulate in your home, leading to that unpleasant dusty smell. This can also affect indoor air quality, potentially causing health issues for sensitive individuals such as children or those with allergies or respiratory problems.

Given the circumstances, it would be prudent to have a professional inspection done by a company like ours here at Saniservice.
