Is duct cleaning urgent given dust storm?« Back to Previous Page

Given the dust storm we experienced recently and your observations about increased dust settling, AC performance issues, and mold smell, it's quite urgent to consider having the ducts cleaned. Ductwork is a critical component of air conditioning systems and plays a significant role in maintaining indoor air quality (IAQ).

In the UAE, particularly Dubai, regulations require regular maintenance of HVAC systems to ensure they operate efficiently while providing healthy air for occupants. Dust storms can introduce large amounts of particulate matter that gets trapped within your ducts, leading to poor IAQ, higher energy bills due to reduced airflow, and potential mold growth – something you've already started noticing.

Regular cleaning not only helps maintain the efficiency of your AC but also prevents allergens from circulating in your living space. Mold growth can be particularly problematic here given our warm climate, so addressing this issue promptly is wise.

Before proceeding with duct cleaning, I recommend scheduling a professional inspection to assess the extent of the contamination and ensure that the cleaning process will effectively address all issues. This step is crucial especially if you suspect mold or other contaminants as it helps tailor the solution specifically for your situation.
