Should I clean ducts after a dust storm?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, after the heavy dust storm that swept through Dubai recently, it's wise to consider professional duct cleaning. The UAE often experiences such storms, and they can leave behind a considerable amount of debris, including dust, sand, and other particles that find their way into your home’s air conditioning system. In Dubai, it's not uncommon for these storms to occur, especially during the months when the region is hit by strong winds.

In the UAE, like in many places, there are no specific regulations mandating duct cleaning post-storms. However, it's a good practice to have your HVAC system inspected and cleaned to ensure optimal air quality. The dust and debris that you noticed in your vents can indeed affect the health of your family, particularly if anyone has existing respiratory issues.

Professional duct cleaning is crucial because it not only removes the visible dirt but also tackles hidden dust and mold spores that could be circulating through your home's air. In Dubai, where humidity levels are higher during certain times of the year, this can become a significant concern as mold thrives in moist environments.

Given your concerns about your kids coughing more than usual, it would be wise to have a professional inspection done. They can assess if there’s any additional issues such as mold growth or if the dust is indeed causing their symptoms. If necessary, they will clean out the ducts thoroughly and advise on maintaining better air quality in your home.
