How urgent is ductwork cleaning after a sandstorm?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the recent sandstorm that hit Dubai, I noticed a strange dust cloud when turning on the AC in our master bedroom. The smell is quite unpleasant and has persisted even after a few days of running the unit on high to clear it out. How urgent do you think it is to have this ductwork cleaned?

The sandstorm we just had sure left its mark! With all the dust and grit it brought, it's understandable you'd be concerned about your air ducts. In dubai/Uae, after a storm like this, it's not uncommon to see an increase in allergens and particulates circulating through our homes.
Given what you're describing - that strange dust cloud when turning on the AC in the master bedroom and the smell persisting even after running the unit for days – I'd say it’s best to get your ductwork inspected pronto. The UAE doesn’t have specific regulations mandating duct cleaning post-storm, but given the intensity of this sandstorm, we can assume a higher-than-average amount of dust has infiltrated your system. While you might be able to clean some visible grime with a thorough vacuuming and wiping down of vents and registers, it's unlikely that this will address any deep-seated issues. Professional ductwork cleaning is the best way to ensure that your air quality returns to normal. This process involves using specialized equipment like negative pressure vacuums and brushes to remove debris from your ducts. Don't hesitate to contact a professional service.
