Should I clean ducts after dust storm?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm a few weeks ago, I noticed a distinct dusty smell lingering in the hallway near the bedrooms. My kids have been complaining of persistent coughs and sneezes, especially at night when we keep the windows closed for better air conditioning. The AC vents seem to kick up more dirt than usual too. Has anyone else experienced similar issues after storms or should I consider having the ducts cleaned?

Absolutely, after the recent dust storm, it's pretty common to experience those lingering dusty smells and more dirt being kicked up by your AC vents. In Dubai, our region is no stranger to such weather conditions which can certainly lead to an accumulation of particulates in the air ducts.
In the UAE, particularly following a dust storm, it’s wise to consider having your HVAC system inspected and potentially cleaned. The local environment here can be quite harsh on indoor air quality with high levels of particulate matter and sand particles getting into your ventilation systems. This can not only affect the efficiency of your AC but also impact the health of your family. Firstly, you might notice a distinct dusty smell in areas of your home, especially near the bedrooms where you keep windows closed for better air conditioning. This smell is usually from the accumulated dust and debris that has been stirred up by the storm. Your kids' complaints about persistent coughs and sneezes could be related to these irritants as well. It’s a good idea to call in professionals like Saniservice (800-MOLDS or 800-66537) who specialize in this area for an inspection. They can assess the condition of your ductwork, identify any potential issues, and recommend if a cleaning is necessary. Remember, regular maintenance of your HVAC system not only improves air quality but also ensures it operates more efficiently. If you decide to go ahead with duct cleaning, ensure that the service provider uses methods compliant with local regulations. In Dubai, there are specific standards for indoor air quality and building maintenance which should be adhered to. A clean duct system can help reduce allergens, improve air circulation, and provide a healthier environment for your family. Don't hesitate to act on this advice. Your health and the comfort of your home are important. If you're unsure or if the situation seems more serious than expected, don’t wait.
