Should I clean ducts due to dust storm?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, it sounds like the dust storm has definitely left its mark. After such severe weather events, it's not uncommon for households to experience an increase in airborne particles which can settle within your HVAC system and ductwork. This can certainly contribute to breathing difficulties and exacerbate allergy symptoms.

In Dubai/UAE, regulations around indoor environmental quality are relatively stringent but it’s always good to have a professional assessment done, especially when issues like the ones you're experiencing persist despite regular maintenance of your home. The Emirate of Dubai has guidelines in place for HVAC systems which mandate regular cleaning every 2-3 years depending on usage and environment. Given the recent storm, though, it might be wise to schedule an inspection sooner rather than later.

Consider calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a thorough inspection. They can help identify any issues that might need immediate attention and provide you with a professional duct cleaning service if necessary. Duct cleaning isn't just about removing dust; it also helps to eliminate mold, which is particularly important in our climate.

If the storm caused significant damage or if your HVAC system wasn’t functioning properly during its passage, there’s an increased chance that harmful particulates could have been trapped within the ducts. Regular maintenance and inspection can help prevent such issues from becoming a problem.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for everyone's health, especially those with allergies or respiratory conditions. Don't hesitate to take action if you notice any changes in your home environment following weather events like dust storms.
