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

After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a layer of dust buildup on my curtains and furniture, which is pretty unusual because we clean everything regularly. The AC in my apartment seems to be pushing out a bit more hot air than usual too, despite it being turned down low. How urgent should I consider getting the ducts cleaned?

Absolutely, after such a heavy dust storm, it's smart to consider having your ducts cleaned. In the UAE and specifically Dubai, we've seen several instances where dust storms can introduce significant amounts of particulate matter into homes and buildings. This is not only concerning for aesthetic reasons but also for indoor air quality.

The layer of dust you're seeing on your curtains and furniture is a clear sign that more than just surface cleaning was required. The fact that the AC seems to be pushing out slightly warmer air might indicate that dust or debris has accumulated in the ductwork, potentially affecting airflow efficiency. This can happen as filters get clogged or as dirt accumulates inside the ducts themselves.

According to UAE regulations and standards set by relevant authorities like the Department of Municipalities and Urban Planning (DM&UP), regular maintenance is crucial for ensuring optimal performance and hygiene of HVAC systems. While it's not mandatory, adhering to best practices can significantly enhance your indoor environment.

For a professional assessment and cleaning, I highly recommend reaching out to a certified service provider. They will use specialized equipment to thoroughly clean the ducts, ensuring that all areas are free from dust and debris. This process is essential for maintaining healthy air quality in your home or office space.

If you're looking for a reliable service in Dubai, you can contact 800-MOLDS or 800-66537, or email hello@saniservice.com. They are experts in this field and will ensure that the job is done right. Don't wait too long as the longer dust remains in your system, the higher the risk of it affecting your health.

Remember, a clean ductwork not only improves air quality but also enhances the efficiency of your HVAC systems, potentially saving you on energy bills and ensuring a comfortable living environment.
