How urgent is duct cleaning after a dust storm?« Back to Previous Page

The dust storm we had last week sure left its mark! It's understandable that you've noticed the dirt build-up on your vents and AC unit. In Dubai and across the UAE, post-dust-storm scenarios like this can be quite common, especially when storms bring in large amounts of particulates from sand and construction sites.

In terms of urgency, it would be prudent to get a professional duct cleaning service as soon as possible, particularly before winter sets in. The build-up you've noticed could indicate that the entire system is accumulating dust, which can significantly impact indoor air quality (IAQ) during colder months when windows are closed and people rely more on their HVAC systems.

In Dubai, regulations like those found in the UAE Building Code emphasize maintaining good IAQ to protect public health. Regular maintenance of your AC system, including duct cleaning, helps ensure that your home environment is safe and comfortable. Given the amount of dust you've observed, a professional inspection might be wise to identify any other hidden issues that could affect air quality.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an expert assessment. They can provide detailed reports on the condition of your ducts and recommend necessary cleanings or repairs. Remember, keeping your HVAC system in tip-top shape not only improves IAQ but also extends its lifespan.

Dust storms are just one of those pesky things that happen, but they certainly don’t have to become a recurring issue if you take proactive steps like regular cleaning and maintenance. Don't delay—take action now to breathe easier this winter!
