Should I clean HVAC ducts after dust storm?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had a couple of weeks ago, I noticed a lot of dirt settling on our furniture and floors. The AC in my apartment has been running more often than usual too. Given how much debris was kicked up outside, I’m worried about what might be circulating inside the ducts. Could someone give me advice on how to get these cleaned properly and prevent issues like stuffy air or allergies?

Absolutely, after the dust storm you mentioned, it's highly recommended to have your HVAC ducts cleaned. In dubai and uae we've seen similar scenarios where a heavy dust event can kick up quite a bit of particulate matter that then gets drawn into your ventilation system.
In the UAE, especially in places like dubai, our climate often means that we rely heavily on air conditioning systems for comfort during hot months. This means that the ducts and filters of these systems can accumulate not only dust but also mold spores and other allergens which can be a concern for residents' health, particularly those with allergies or respiratory issues. To properly clean your HVAC system, it's best to call in professionals who specialize in this service. They will use specialized equipment that ensures the ducts are thoroughly cleaned without damaging them. The professional inspection is crucial as they not only clean but also check for any potential damage from the dust and debris that might have gotten into the ventilation system. Additionally, consider scheduling regular maintenance checks to keep your HVAC systems running efficiently and to prevent future buildup of dirt and dust. This can help reduce energy consumption by keeping the air flow smooth and unobstructed, as you've noticed with the AC in your apartment working more often than usual due to increased resistance from dirt and dust. Remember that maintaining good indoor air quality is important for overall health and comfort. If you notice any symptoms like sneezing, coughing, or if the air feels stuffy even when running the AC, it could be a sign of issues within your ductwork. In such cases, don't hesitate to seek professional advice. Call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com for more information on how we can help keep your home's air clean and fresh.
