Should I clean apartment ducts urgently?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a distinct dusty smell lingering in my bedroom. The windowsill right by my bed seems to collect more dust than usual even after regular cleaning. My kids have also been complaining of coughing fits, especially at night. How urgent is it for me to get the ducts cleaned in my apartment?

Absolutely, the situation you're describing sounds quite alarming. With heavy dust storms becoming more frequent due to changing weather patterns and the lingering dusty smell as well as increased dust on your windowsill, it’s likely that the indoor air quality of your apartment is suffering. In Dubai/UAE, it's not uncommon for such storms to carry a significant amount of particulate matter into buildings, which can accumulate in ventilation systems and become re-circulated throughout the space.

Given what you've described, I would recommend getting an expert assessment as soon as possible. The UAE doesn't have specific regulations mandating duct cleaning, but it's highly advised especially after such storms to ensure that your air quality is not compromised. Regular maintenance of your HVAC system can help prevent issues like the ones you're facing now.

The accumulation of dust in your bedroom and your kids' coughing fits might indicate a more serious issue with your indoor environment. It’s crucial to address this promptly as prolonged exposure to poor air quality, especially for children, could lead to respiratory problems or exacerbate existing conditions.
