Should I clean ducts after dust storm?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a strange odor lingering in our bedroom. The vents seem particularly dirty, with visible dust buildup. My kids have been coughing more frequently lately, and I’m worried it might be from mold or allergens trapped in the ducts. Should I consider professional duct cleaning?

Absolutely, it's quite important to consider professional duct cleaning after the heavy dust storm. The situation you're describing sounds pretty common post-storm – those pesky vents can indeed get clogged and harbor allergens or mold. In Dubai and UAE, we often experience strong sandstorms that can kick up a lot of debris into the atmosphere.
Given your concerns about odors and frequent coughing by your children, it might be wise to have a professional inspection done first. The UAE doesn't have specific regulations for duct cleaning, but it's good practice especially if you notice symptoms like yours. A certified technician will be able to assess the situation thoroughly and determine whether cleaning is necessary. Professional duct cleaning can help remove accumulated dust, debris, mold spores, and other allergens from your HVAC system. This not only improves air quality in your home but also enhances the efficiency of your air conditioning and heating systems, potentially saving you on energy bills too!
