Is duct cleaning necessary to reduce dust?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had a few weeks ago, I noticed a lot of dirt and debris accumulating on the ducts when I was cleaning the windows. The AC in my apartment seems to push out a noticeable amount of dust every time it runs. My kids have been coughing more than usual lately, and I’m worried it might be from all this dust getting circulated through the house. Has anyone else experienced similar issues or know if duct cleaning is really necessary?

Duct cleaning is indeed necessary to reduce dust, especially considering the dusty conditions we've been experiencing here in Dubai. After the dust storm a few weeks ago, I noticed the same issue – an increase of dirt and debris on the ducts and dust being pushed out into our home. It's definitely concerning for those with sensitive children like yours.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, the air quality can vary significantly due to various environmental factors including dust storms, sand particles from nearby deserts, and even construction activities which can all contribute to higher levels of indoor particulate matter. According to local regulations, while there aren't specific laws mandating regular duct cleaning, maintaining clean and healthy ventilation systems is highly recommended.

Regular inspection and cleaning of your HVAC system and ducts can significantly improve indoor air quality in your home. This helps not only with reducing dust but also mitigates the risk of mold growth, which can exacerbate respiratory issues among children and adults alike.

If you're worried about the health impacts on your family, I'd recommend scheduling a professional inspection by one of our services at Saniservice. Our team will assess the condition of your ducts and provide recommendations for cleaning or further maintenance to ensure that your home's air is as clean as possible.
