Is dust from next door affecting my apartment's AC?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, it's quite common for dust and other airborne particles to travel between apartments, especially if your kitchen walls share ventilation or air pathways. In the UAE, like Dubai, building regulations do stipulate certain standards for indoor environmental quality but they are not always strictly enforced or fully understood by tenants. The noise or odor you're experiencing could indeed be due to inadequate cleaning practices in the restaurant next door.

It’s important to know that dust and other contaminants can easily get drawn into your apartment's AC system, leading to discomfort and potential health issues. In Dubai, it is advisable to have a professional conduct an inspection of both your apartment's air conditioning unit and the cleanliness standards at the restaurant. If you find out that the issue persists or worsens, don't hesitate to take further action.

For serious cases like this, I would recommend reaching out to Saniservice for a thorough evaluation. They can provide expert advice on how to mitigate these issues. Just give them a call at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com.

In the meantime, you might want to look into using an air purifier in your apartment and consider speaking with your neighbors about the issue. Sometimes, open communication can lead to finding a mutually beneficial solution. Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for everyone’s health, particularly in a climate like Dubai's where AC usage is high.

Keep your windows closed when the restaurant is operating heavily to minimize dust intrusion. And always keep an eye on the cleanliness of your air filters; replacing them regularly can help reduce airborne particles entering your space.
