Is cleaning ducts urgent given dust storm?« Back to Previous Page

Cleaning your ducts is definitely something to consider after experiencing such intense dust storms. In the UAE, especially here in Dubai, our climate and geographical location can make us susceptible to high levels of particulates and pollutants that might find their way into your HVAC system during these storms.

Given how loud your AC has been acting lately, it’s a good indication that there could be more than just surface dirt causing issues. Accumulation of dust within the ducts may restrict airflow, leading to increased noise from the fan trying harder to push air through the clogged passages. This not only impacts comfort and energy efficiency but can also affect your indoor air quality over time.

UAE regulations do emphasize maintaining good indoor environmental quality, especially in commercial spaces, but residential guidelines are less stringent. However, given that you’ve experienced a significant dust storm, it wouldn’t hurt to have an inspection done to ensure there’s no mold or other contaminants developing in the ductwork due to moisture from the storm.

It's advisable to schedule a professional inspection and cleaning with a company like Saniservice, who can use specialized equipment to safely clean your HVAC system. This will help restore proper airflow and reduce noise levels, ensuring that your AC operates more efficiently and effectively.

Remember, regular maintenance is key in keeping your indoor environment healthy. Consider having a routine service plan to keep on top of these issues before they become major problems. If you have any concerns or questions about the process, feel free to reach out for advice—just call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com.

If your system was particularly impacted by this dust storm, don’t wait too long before taking action. Addressing the issue now can prevent bigger problems down the road and help maintain a healthier living environment for you and your family.
