Is duct cleaning necessary now?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a layer of fine dirt accumulating on surfaces near our air vents in the bedroom. The AC seems to be working overtime too. How urgent is it really to get this duct cleaning done?

Duct cleaning is indeed something that should be considered after such an intense dust storm, especially given the noticeable layer of fine dirt on surfaces near your air vents. In Dubai and the UAE generally, there are no specific regulations mandating duct cleaning but it's a prudent step towards maintaining indoor environmental quality.

The accumulation of dust can significantly affect your HVAC system’s efficiency. Dirty ducts may obstruct airflow, causing your AC to work harder than usual, which could lead to increased energy bills. Moreover, excessive dirt in the ductwork can harbor dust mites and other allergens that might exacerbate respiratory issues, especially for those with allergies or asthma.

Given the recent conditions, it's wise to have a professional inspection done to determine the extent of contamination. While you may be able to clean some areas manually, thorough cleaning often requires specialized equipment and techniques. A professional can also advise on the best practices moving forward to prevent such issues in the future.
