Is damp smell and AC strain urgent?

It's understandable to be concerned about the unusual smells and increased effort your air conditioning unit is making. In Dubai and the UAE generally, it’s indeed important to address such issues promptly. A damp smell without visible moisture could hint at a hidden issue that might not seem immediately critical but can lead to more serious problems if left unattended.

In our region, especially after rainy periods like the ones we have had recently, there is a risk of mold growth in areas where moisture may be trapped and not easily detected. This can occur behind walls or within HVAC systems, which are often designed with limited access points. Mold thrives under such conditions and can emit musty odors while also potentially causing health issues for occupants.

Given the specifics you've mentioned about your situation, it would be prudent to have a professional inspection carried out as soon as possible. This will help identify if there's any hidden moisture or mold growth in your ductwork or other parts of your HVAC system that could be causing these symptoms. The earlier such problems are identified and addressed, the less likely they are to escalate into more severe issues requiring extensive repairs.

Remember, regular maintenance checks on your air conditioning unit can prevent many of these issues from arising in the first place. However, if you're experiencing unusual smells or signs of strain in your AC, it's best not to delay getting expert advice.
