After the heavy dust storms we had this past weekend, my bedroom has been filling up with a lot of dust, even though I vacuum regularly. The AC in my apartment seems to be struggling more than usual too. Should I consider hiring professionals for duct cleaning or could it just be normal maintenance?

Duct cleaning can indeed be necessary after heavy dust storms, especially in areas like Dubai where such weather events are common. The intense dust that was kicked up over the past weekend could have easily found its way into your AC system and ductwork, leading to increased dust levels in your bedroom despite regular vacuuming.
In the UAE, particularly in Abu Dhabi or Dubai, it's not uncommon for construction dust and sand particles to get into HVAC systems during these storms. This can result in reduced airflow and decreased energy efficiency of your air conditioning unit. Additionally, the accumulation of such particles within the ductwork may exacerbate allergies and respiratory issues. Given that you've noticed a significant increase in dust and your AC is struggling more than usual, it might be beneficial to consider professional duct cleaning. This process can effectively remove the accumulated debris from your HVAC system, ensuring better airflow and improved indoor air quality. It's worth noting that according to local regulations and guidelines, regular maintenance of your HVAC systems, including duct cleaning, is recommended to ensure optimal performance. However, before jumping into hiring professionals for a full clean, you may want to start with some basic checks. Inspect the filters in your AC unit; they might be clogged up with debris. Replacing or washing these can help improve air quality and system efficiency temporarily. If issues persist, it's advisable to schedule an inspection by a professional HVAC service provider. They will not only clean but also check for any other potential problems that might affect the performance of your AC unit. For reliable services in Dubai, you could consider companies like Saniservice who offer comprehensive environmental inspections and remediation solutions. Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial, especially during stormy seasons or when dealing with high dust levels.
