Is duct cleaning necessary due to dust storms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last week, I noticed a lot of dust and debris piling up in our ducts. The AC in my two-bedroom apartment has been running louder than usual, and to be honest, it smells like there's something not quite right inside those vents. My kids have been complaining about their throats hurting, and I’m worried it might be linked to the air quality from all that dust. Have you ever had your ducts cleaned before? Can you recommend a good service in Dubai or the UAE?

Absolutely, duct cleaning is highly necessary after dust storms. The recent storms have definitely kicked up a lot of particulates that can easily find their way into your home's HVAC system. In the UAE, especially during such weather conditions, it’s not uncommon to see increased levels of dust and debris in the air conditioning ducts.

In Dubai and across the UAE, there are strict building codes and standards concerning indoor environmental quality (IEQ). Post-dust storms, it is advisable to have a professional inspection done. This can help identify any potential issues that might arise from the influx of particulates into your home's ventilation system. For instance, if not cleaned properly, these particles can accumulate over time, leading to reduced air flow, increased energy consumption as your AC works harder to circulate clean air, and even contribute to poor indoor air quality (IAQ).

I've personally had my ducts cleaned before after a particularly bad storm. The difference was noticeable both in the efficiency of the system and in the overall air quality within the home.
