Is duct cleaning causing dirty air?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a thick layer of dirt collecting on my windowsills downstairs. The AC in my apartment seems to be blowing out more than just cool air; it feels like there’s something else mixed in, almost like old dust. Has anyone had issues with duct cleaning affecting their home this way?

Duct cleaning is indeed a common practice to maintain indoor air quality and can sometimes lead to temporary dust issues if not done correctly. In the UAE, especially in cities like Dubai where dust storms are frequent, ducts can get clogged with dirt and debris over time. This buildup might explain why you're noticing more dust on your windowsills.
In the UAE, regulations around indoor air quality aren't as stringent as in some other countries but it's still important to adhere to best practices when cleaning your ductwork. A professional company should ensure that they use proper techniques such as HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) vacuums and filters during the process. This helps minimize the spread of dust into your living spaces. If you’re experiencing issues like what you've described, it would be wise to call in a professional inspection before proceeding with duct cleaning.
