Should I clean my AC to reduce dust?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the intense sandstorm we had last month, I noticed a persistent dust cloud when I opened the return air vent in my bedroom. It's unsettling to think about all that dirt circulating through my whole apartment! The AC has been running more than usual too. Is there anything I can do besides just cleaning it myself?

Cleaning your AC system is indeed crucial for reducing dust and improving indoor air quality. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, our climate can be quite harsh, especially during sandstorms which can significantly impact your HVAC systems. It's understandable to feel concerned about the dirt circulating through your apartment.
Firstly, if you notice a persistent dust cloud coming from an AC vent after a sandstorm, it’s important to take action. This could indicate that your air ducts and AC filters are not effectively filtering out the airborne particles. In such cases, I would recommend scheduling a professional inspection. The UAE has certain standards for HVAC systems, but local regulations might vary slightly, so having a certified specialist assess the situation is wise. Here’s what you can do on your own as well: 1. Replace or clean your air filters regularly. Check them at least every 2 months and more often if you live in a dusty environment. 2. Dust the exterior of the AC unit to prevent any build-up that could affect its efficiency. 3. Ensure proper sealing around all ductwork connections to avoid leakage and minimize dust infiltration. However, for a thorough cleaning, it’s best to call in professionals. At Saniservice, we offer comprehensive air duct cleaning services which can help remove accumulated dirt, dust, and other contaminants from your AC system.

This ensures that not only your bedroom but also other areas of your apartment benefit from cleaner air. Remember, a clean AC unit and properly maintained ducts can save energy too.
