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

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a significant increase in the dust accumulating in the corners of my living room. My kids have been complaining about sneezing and coughing more frequently, especially after being inside all day. Given how long it’s been since our ducts were cleaned, should I prioritize getting them serviced immediately or can this wait until next month?

Absolutely, after the recent dust storm in Dubai, it's highly recommended to consider duct cleaning as a priority. The accumulation of dust and debris can significantly impact indoor air quality, leading to health issues like coughing and sneezing, especially among children.

In the UAE, we follow certain guidelines set by the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) for maintaining healthy indoor environments. These regulations emphasize the importance of regular cleaning of HVAC systems to ensure they operate efficiently and effectively in reducing airborne pollutants.

Given your situation, where there has been a noticeable increase in dust accumulation since the storm, it's prudent to get your ducts cleaned as soon as possible. Not only will this help improve air quality but also prevent potential issues like mold growth or reduced airflow efficiency which can be detrimental to your family’s health and comfort.

Dust storms are notorious for bringing in large quantities of fine particles that can easily penetrate the HVAC system, leading to a buildup of contaminants inside the ductwork. Regular cleaning is essential to remove these pollutants before they can circulate through your home's air supply, causing discomfort or worse, respiratory problems.
