How urgent is duct cleaning after a dust storm?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a layer of dust collecting on all the surfaces near my bedroom window. My partner has also mentioned feeling more congested lately, especially at night when we close the windows to keep out the sand. Given that it’s already mid-April and spring cleaning season is coming up, how urgent should I be about getting our ducts cleaned?

Duct cleaning after a dust storm is indeed quite urgent. In the UAE, specifically Dubai, we're always dealing with high winds and sandstorms which can kick up a lot of particulates and dirt into the air. Given that you've noticed a layer of dust collecting on surfaces near your bedroom window, it’s highly probable that your ducts are also harbouring a significant amount of this particulate matter.
In Dubai, our building codes often emphasize the importance of maintaining indoor air quality, especially after such weather events. The UAE Ministry of Energy and Public Works (MoEPW) has guidelines recommending regular maintenance to ensure HVAC systems operate efficiently and safely. Given that spring cleaning is just around the corner, now would be an excellent time to consider professional duct cleaning. Dust can not only lead to aesthetic issues but also poses health risks. You mentioned your partner experiencing more congestion, particularly at night when windows are closed. This could indicate sensitivity or allergic reactions to airborne particles. Since there's a risk of dust and other allergens lingering in the air, getting your ducts cleaned is crucial for both comfort and health.
