Is duct cleaning needed after sandstorm?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the intense sandstorm we had last month, I noticed a persistent dust cloud when our air conditioner turned on. The smell is unpleasant and it feels like there’s more dirt being circulated than cleaned. It's definitely affecting my allergies too. Has anyone else experienced this with their ducts in Dubai? Is it common to need professional cleaning here, or am I just paranoid?

Absolutely, duct cleaning is quite crucial after a sandstorm. In the UAE and particularly Dubai, our climatic conditions make us vulnerable to such events. The recent dust-laden storms have indeed brought about significant concerns regarding indoor air quality.
Firstly, it's common for residents in this region to experience increased levels of dust and particulates circulating through their HVAC systems after a sandstorm. This can be especially problematic given the already high levels of air pollutants like pollen and other allergens that are prevalent here throughout the year. The UAE doesn't have specific regulations mandating regular duct cleaning, but it is highly recommended, particularly in areas with frequent dust storms or after such events. Professional inspections and cleanings can help mitigate the effects on indoor air quality and reduce health issues associated with poor air circulation. When you notice a persistent dust cloud when your AC turns on, an unpleasant smell, or an increase in allergy symptoms, it’s time to consider having a professional inspection. A thorough cleaning not only removes visible debris but also tackles the fine particles that can't be seen. Professional duct cleaners use specialized equipment and techniques to ensure they reach all areas of your system. For those in Dubai, Saniservice is a reliable company you can call at 800-MOLDS or email them at hello@saniservice.com for an inspection and cleaning service.

Remember that regular maintenance of your HVAC system, including ducts, is key to maintaining good indoor air quality.

So don't wait until the next sandstorm hits; proactive steps now can save you from future discomfort and health issues. |
