Is poor ductwork causing mold in my air conditioner?« Back to Previous Page

Since we renovated our living room two months ago, I’ve noticed a persistent dust cloud when someone turns on the air conditioner. My kids play in there all day, and it’s really concerning me that there might be mold or allergens floating around. Given how young they are, I’m worried about their health. Could this be due to poor ductwork? What should I do?

Poor ductwork can indeed lead to mold growth and other issues. In the UAE especially, our humid climate makes it even more crucial to ensure your air conditioning system is properly maintained. The persistent dust cloud you're seeing when turning on the AC could be a sign of underlying problems like dirt or debris buildup in the ducts.

When you renovated two months ago, it's possible that some construction materials or dust were not completely removed from the air ducts. This can create an ideal environment for mold to grow, especially if there are areas where water might have seeped in during the renovation process or due to Dubai's high humidity levels.

Given your concerns about the health of your kids, I recommend having a professional inspection done right away.
