Is duct dirt causing loud AC and dust?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a thick layer of dust collecting on all my furniture in the living room. It’s strange because we clean regularly, but this seemed excessive. The AC in our apartment has also been running extra loudly lately. Could this be related to duct cleaning issues?

Absolutely, the dust storm last month could have contributed to an accumulation of dirt and debris inside your ductwork. This is not uncommon given the environmental conditions we experience here in Dubai. The thick layer you noticed on furniture can indeed be linked back to a dirty HVAC system.
In the UAE, especially during our dusty seasons, regular maintenance of your air conditioning units becomes critical. According to local regulations, it's important to ensure that all components of your HVAC system are clean and functioning optimally. Ductwork cleaning is one crucial step in maintaining indoor environmental quality (IEQ). Dirt and dust in the ducts can indeed affect how well your AC operates. As more debris accumulates, airflow can become restricted leading to louder operation from your air conditioning unit as it works harder to push air through the narrow passages. The result? Increased noise levels that you're experiencing. Another consequence of dirty ductwork is the redistribution of dust particles throughout your living space. With a clean system, these particulates would be captured by filters and removed effectively; however, with a buildup, they can circulate back into your home. So what should you do? Firstly, consider getting an inspection from a professional company like ours at Saniservice. We specialize in Dubai’s climate conditions and can provide tailored solutions for optimal IEQ. If the issues persist after cleaning or if you notice other signs of poor air quality such as allergic reactions or discomfort, further remediation might be necessary. Remember to also check your air filters regularly and replace them when they get dirty. This simple step can greatly improve both energy efficiency and indoor air quality in your home.
