Should I clean ducts after dust storms?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storms we had last month, my kids have been having persistent coughs and sneezes, especially when they come home from school. The smell in the living room seems a bit off too, almost like something is stale or musty. Have any of you noticed similar issues after such weather conditions? Should I be concerned about duct cleaning in our apartment to improve their health and air quality?

Absolutely, after those dust storms we've experienced, it's pretty common for folks to experience similar issues like persistent coughs and sneezes. The air quality can really take a hit during such weather events, and our ducts are often the first line of defense—or more accurately, the filter.
In Dubai/UAE, we typically see an increase in dust storms, which can carry fine particles into your home's HVAC system. These particles can then circulate throughout your living space, affecting air quality significantly. If you've noticed a stale or musty smell in your apartment, it could be due to accumulated dust and debris within the ducts. Given the recent conditions we’ve had, it’s definitely worth considering professional duct cleaning. The UAE has specific regulations for indoor environmental quality that emphasize clean and healthy living environments. Ensuring compliance with these standards can help mitigate health risks associated with poor air quality. Regular maintenance of your HVAC system is crucial, but dust storms can complicate things quickly. Professional inspection is recommended to ensure everything is up to scratch after such weather events. You might want to reach out to a company like Saniservice for an evaluation or consultation. They offer services tailored specifically to the UAE market and can provide peace of mind knowing your family's health is prioritized. If you choose to go ahead with cleaning, it’s important that the process adheres to local standards and guidelines. Professional cleaners should use methods that minimize dust redistribution during the cleaning process and thoroughly clean all components of your HVAC system, including the ducts, filters, and registers. Remember, a clean HVAC system can significantly improve indoor air quality, making your living space healthier and more comfortable for you and your family.
