Should I clean ducts after dust storm?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we experienced last week, I noticed a layer of fine gray dust on all the surfaces in the living room. My kids have been complaining about having a persistent cough since then, and it’s concerning because they spend most of their time playing there. The HVAC system in our apartment is quite old, so I’m worried it might be spreading this dust throughout the house. Should I consider getting my ducts cleaned?

Absolutely, cleaning your ducts is a wise decision after that dust storm. In the UAE, especially during such weather events, airborne particles can easily infiltrate your HVAC system and circulate throughout your living space. This can lead to an increase in allergens and irritants like pollen, dust mites, and even fine particulates from sand storms.
Given that your kids are experiencing persistent coughs post-storm, it's crucial to ensure the indoor air quality is as clean as possible. In Dubai, we often experience high levels of airborne dust due to our geographical location and weather conditions. The UAE doesn't have strict regulations specifically for duct cleaning, but adhering to best practices can certainly improve your family's comfort and health. Professional duct cleaning can help remove accumulated debris that may be contributing to their symptoms. It’s also a good idea to schedule an inspection from a reputable company like Saniservice. They offer services tailored to local conditions and can provide a thorough assessment of your HVAC system's condition, as well as recommend any necessary maintenance or repairs. To take proactive steps, consider scheduling the cleaning during cooler months when you're not relying on your AC as much. This way, you can minimize disruption to your daily routine. Also, check if your HVAC filter needs replacement; often it’s recommended every 3-6 months and should be changed more frequently after a storm. Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is key in our environment. By taking these steps, not only will you alleviate some of the discomfort for your kids but also create a healthier living space overall.
