Is ductwork causing my musty smell?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, the musty smell could be linked to your ductwork. In dubai and uae, it's quite common for humid weather conditions or heavy rain to cause such issues, especially if the air conditioning system isn't functioning properly.

When water gets into the HVAC system’s ducts, it can lead to the growth of mold, bacteria, and other microorganisms that produce those unwanted odors. Even though you've checked your filter and didn’t see any obvious signs of dampness or mold, that doesn't necessarily rule out issues within the ducts themselves. The air ducts run through various areas of your home, including hard-to-reach spots where moisture can accumulate unnoticed.

In terms of how often to clean your ductwork in a residential setting, it’s generally recommended to have them inspected and cleaned every 3-5 years or more frequently if you notice issues like the one you're experiencing. In dubai, we see an increase in such concerns after the monsoon seasons or during the wetter months.
