Is poor ductwork causing our problems?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a thick layer of dust accumulating on our furniture and even on the window sills in the living room. The air feels stuffy and my little one has been sneezing more than usual since then. Could this be due to poor ductwork cleaning? What should I do next?

Absolutely, poor ductwork could be the root of your troubles. In Dubai and UAE, where we experience significant dust storms, it's not uncommon for our ducts to become clogged with debris, including sand particles and other pollutants. These can certainly contribute to a stuffy atmosphere in your home and might even affect indoor air quality (IAQ) adversely.
When dust storms roll through, they leave behind an incredible amount of dirt that can settle deep within your HVAC system if not cleaned properly. The thick layer of dust you noticed on furniture and window sills is just the tip of the iceberg – imagine what's lurking inside your ducts! Over time, this accumulation can lead to a variety of issues: 1. Reduced Airflow: Dirty ducts restrict airflow, making it harder for your HVAC system to function efficiently. This might explain why you're feeling stuffy. 2. Increased Allergens and Dust Mites: The dust trapped in the ductwork can be a breeding ground for allergens like mold spores, dust mites, and pollen. This could certainly be contributing to your little one's sneezing. 3. Higher Energy Bills: Clogged ducts force your HVAC system to work harder, leading to increased energy consumption and higher utility bills.
