Should I clean my ducts to avoid allergens?« Back to Previous Page

After the intense heat wave we had last summer, I noticed a strange dust cloud when I turned on the air conditioning in my living room. The ducts run directly through this area, and it’s been at least two years since they’ve been cleaned. My kids have been coughing more than usual lately, and I’m worried about mold or allergens circulating through our home. Have you had your ducts cleaned recently to prevent issues like these?

Absolutely! Cleaning your ducts is a crucial step to maintaining good indoor air quality and can significantly help reduce allergens, dust, and other irritants. In dubai, we often experience extreme temperatures, which means our AC systems work extra hard during summer. This can lead to increased accumulation of dirt, mold spores, and other particulates in your ductwork.

The UAE does have some regulations regarding indoor air quality (IAQ) but the specifics may vary depending on the building type. For residential units, it's always a good idea to follow best practices recommended by local authorities like the Dubai Health Authority or the Environmental Agency - Abu Dhabi.

You mentioned noticing a dust cloud when you turned your AC on recently. This could be due to old accumulated debris in the ducts being released into your home’s air supply. Over time, this can lead to respiratory issues for yourself and your kids. According to some studies, regular cleaning of HVAC systems like yours can reduce symptoms associated with asthma and allergies by up to 30%.

Given that it's been two years since you last cleaned your ducts, I recommend having them inspected and cleaned professionally. This not only addresses the dust issue but also helps identify any potential mold growth which could be a serious concern in our climate.
