After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a lot of debris accumulating in our air ducts. The AC in my apartment is making strange noises and the vents are barely blowing any air. How urgent do you think it is to clean these ducts?

Well, after the recent dust storm in Dubai, it's quite understandable to be concerned about your air ducts. In the UAE, particularly in places like Dubai, our climate can be extremely arid which means dust and particulates are always a potential issue. The accumulation of debris from such storms can indeed cause issues with your AC system.
Given your description of strange noises coming from the AC unit along with reduced airflow from the vents, it is highly advisable to have your ducts professionally inspected and cleaned as soon as possible. In Dubai, regulations require that air conditioning systems in commercial buildings be maintained regularly, but for residential areas like yours, it's a good practice to follow suit. Dust storms can introduce a variety of particulates into your indoor environment - from sand particles to pollens and other allergens. These can clog your ducts, leading to decreased efficiency of your air conditioning unit. The reduced airflow might be due to the accumulated debris blocking the ductwork or even affecting the fan motors within the system. It's important to note that cleaning your ducts not only improves the performance of your AC but also enhances indoor air quality, which is crucial in our climate where outdoor pollution can be quite high. If you notice any unusual smells or if your family experiences more allergy symptoms during certain times of the year, this could indicate that there are contaminants trapped within your ductwork.
