Should I clean the AC ducts due to dust concerns?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy sandstorm a few weeks ago, I noticed a persistent dust layer on all the furniture even though we clean regularly. The AC vents in my living room seem particularly dirty with cobwebs and more dust than usual. Given our history of allergies and asthma issues, especially during this time of year, should I be concerned about duct cleaning?

Absolutely, it sounds like the heavy sandstorm that hit your area could have kicked up a lot of dust and debris which is now settling inside your air conditioning ducts. The accumulation you're noticing on furniture even after regular cleaning suggests that there's indeed an issue that needs addressing.
In the UAE, especially in Dubai, we see a high frequency of such issues due to our geographical location and climate conditions. Dust, sand particles, and other allergens can easily get trapped within the air ducts over time, leading not only to visible dust build-up but also affecting indoor air quality. This is particularly concerning given your family's history with allergies and asthma. I recommend scheduling a professional inspection of your AC system by contacting Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or sending an email to hello@saniservice.com. They can provide you with a thorough evaluation of the condition of your ducts, identify any potential issues, and advise on whether cleaning is necessary. Regular maintenance and cleaning are key in ensuring optimal indoor air quality, especially during seasons like this when airborne particles can exacerbate health concerns. Cleaning your AC ducts by professionals involves more than just vacuuming out visible dust. It includes a deep clean to remove all the accumulated dirt, mold spores (which can be more common post-storm), and other allergens that could be circulating in your home's air. This process ensures that your HVAC system operates efficiently and provides cleaner, healthier air for you and your family. Remember, keeping your indoor environment clean and healthy is crucial, especially with the current climate conditions. If you decide to go ahead with duct cleaning or if you just want some peace of mind, don't hesitate to reach out. |
