After the recent dust storm, we’ve noticed a lot of dust settling on our furniture and even more worrying, tiny particles in my son’s room. The ducts run right through that area and I’m concerned about potential health risks to my family. Have you had any issues like this before, or do you think duct cleaning might be necessary?

Absolutely, after the recent dust storm, it's wise to consider duct cleaning. The UAE frequently experiences such storms and can lead to a significant accumulation of dust within your home’s HVAC system. In Dubai and Abu Dhabi, where we have a lot of construction activity, these storms can bring in particles that are particularly fine and potentially harmful.
In the UAE, regulations for indoor environmental quality are becoming increasingly stringent. The Ministry of Energy and Industrial Development (MOIED) along with other local authorities emphasize the importance of maintaining clean air within buildings to ensure occupant health. Ducts act as the heart of your HVAC system, circulating air throughout your home. If not cleaned regularly, they can become a breeding ground for dust, allergens, and even mold. Given that you've noticed an increase in dust on furniture and suspect tiny particles in your son's room, it’s crucial to address this issue promptly. Tiny particles could be indicative of not just dust but also other pollutants that the ducts might have trapped during the storm. Professional inspection is highly recommended before any cleaning process to assess the current state of your HVAC system. At our company, we often see similar cases post-dust storms and can provide a thorough evaluation. Our team uses advanced equipment to inspect the ductwork, identifying areas where debris has accumulated and recommending the most effective cleaning methods.

Remember, clean air is crucial in protecting your family's health, especially during and after environmental events like dust storms.
