Is ductwork cleaning necessary due to dust storms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms last month, I noticed a persistent dry cough and sneezing spells whenever I enter our living room. The vents seem to be releasing this thick layer of dirt particles every time I use the AC. My kids have been complaining of stuffy noses too. Could this be related to the ductwork in our apartment, and should we consider cleaning it?

Absolutely, ductwork cleaning can be essential following dust storms. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, our region is no stranger to intense dust storms which can carry a significant amount of fine particulates and debris into your living spaces. The dry cough and sneezing spells you're experiencing could definitely be linked to the condition of your ductwork.

In the aftermath of such storms, it's highly recommended that you have a professional inspection done to assess the state of your HVAC system and ducts. This is especially true given the UAE's specific regulations regarding indoor air quality and building maintenance standards. While regular cleaning might not always be mandatory according to local laws, it can significantly improve the health and comfort for residents like yourself.

Given the symptoms you've reported in both adults and children, it’s prudent to consider professional duct cleaning services. A thorough clean will help remove accumulated dust, mold spores, and other allergens that can trigger respiratory issues. Not only does this enhance indoor air quality but also improves overall HVAC system efficiency, potentially reducing energy costs.

If you decide to proceed with a service provider, make sure they are accredited and adhere to industry best practices. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice can offer reliable duct cleaning solutions tailored for local climate conditions. They have the expertise and equipment necessary to effectively clean your ducts without causing damage or compromising system performance.
