Is duct cleaning needed after dust storm?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we experienced last month, I noticed a persistent cough and irritated eyes, especially when I stay in my bedroom. The HVAC system in our third-floor apartment has been running more frequently than usual, but it still doesn't seem to clear the air as much as before. Have any of you noticed similar issues or had your ducts cleaned recently?

Absolutely, duct cleaning might be something to consider after such an intense dust storm. In Dubai and the UAE, we often experience similar weather conditions that can introduce a lot of particulate matter into our living spaces. This was certainly the case last month when that dust storm rolled in.
In the aftermath, it’s not uncommon for people to report symptoms like coughing and irritated eyes. These are classic signs that your HVAC system might be introducing more pollutants than it's removing from the air. Given the frequency of running your AC or heating system since the storm, it could mean the ducts need a thorough cleaning. UAE has its own set of regulations concerning indoor environmental quality (IEQ) and building maintenance. According to the UAE Building Code, maintaining an efficient HVAC system is crucial for ensuring good IEQ. Regular servicing and cleaning of your ductwork are key components in upholding these standards. If you've noticed that the air isn't as clear or that your system seems less effective than before, it might be time to schedule a professional inspection. Not only can this help identify if there’s been an increase in dust or other particles, but it also ensures that no other issues like mold growth are occurring due to excess moisture retained within the ducts. At times like these, it's always wise to call a professional for a thorough examination and cleaning. We at Saniservice recommend calling 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com.
