Should I clean ductwork after dust storm?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had a couple of weeks ago, I noticed a thick layer of dirt on the grills of my AC unit in the living room. It's been pretty grimy since then, and now I’m worried about what might be inside the ducts. The kids have been complaining more of coughing and sneezing lately too. Should I consider cleaning the ductwork to improve the air quality?

Absolutely, you should consider cleaning your ductwork after that dust storm. Dust storms can be particularly harsh on indoor air quality and HVAC systems. In the UAE, especially during our dusty seasons, it's crucial to maintain a clean environment for health reasons.
In Dubai, regulations regarding indoor environmental quality are stringent, and ensuring proper maintenance of your HVAC system is essential to comply with these standards. After such an event, you might notice an increase in dust particles, mold spores, or other allergens that could affect the air quality within your home. This can lead to respiratory issues for your family, especially for children who are more susceptible. Given the concerns about coughing and sneezing from your kids, it would be prudent to have a professional inspection of your ductwork. Professionals can detect not only visible dust but also hidden contaminants that might affect air quality. They will use specialized tools and techniques to assess the condition of your ducts and recommend if cleaning is necessary. Regular maintenance and cleaning of your HVAC system are important for several reasons: • Reducing allergens and irritants in the air • Enhancing energy efficiency, which can lower utility bills • Extending the lifespan of your HVAC unit For a thorough inspection and professional cleaning service, you might want to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com.
