Should I clean ducts after dust storm?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a layer of dust accumulating on all the surfaces inside our living room. The AC unit in the hallway is also making strange noises that it didn't before. How urgent is this issue and should I consider having the ducts cleaned right away?

Absolutely, after such a dusty storm, it's quite common for dust to gather and travel through your HVAC system. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, we often experience days where the air is filled with particulates which can easily be drawn into your ductwork. This not only affects the cleanliness of your living spaces but also impacts the efficiency and lifespan of your air conditioning unit.
Given that you noticed dust accumulation and unusual noises from your AC unit post-storm, it's a clear indication that the filters and ducts may need cleaning. The UAE has no specific regulations mandating duct cleaning at certain intervals, but it’s a good practice to have this done every 2-3 years or after major weather events like you've experienced. Dust accumulation can lead to several issues: 1. Reduced air quality which might affect your health and comfort 2. Increased energy consumption as the AC works harder to push air through clogged ducts 3. Damage to the unit itself from accumulated dust, leading to higher maintenance costs For a thorough inspection and cleaning of your ductwork, it’s best to contact professionals. They can assess the extent of damage or build-up and clean them properly without causing any more harm. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice are well-regarded for their expertise in this area. Remember, neglecting regular maintenance could lead to costly repairs down the line. It would be wise to schedule a professional inspection soon after these storms to ensure your home’s air quality remains at its best.
