Should I clean the ducts due to dust storms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last week, my family has been complaining of sneezing and itchy eyes. The bedroom where my children sleep has a particularly strong dusty smell, and I’m worried about their health. After living here for two years, this is the first time I’ve noticed such issues. Should I have the ducts cleaned?

Absolutely, it's wise to consider duct cleaning after the dust storms we've experienced. In dubai and the UAE, dust is a common issue due to our geographic location and weather patterns. Ducts can accumulate allergens, mold spores, and other particulates that may be causing your family’s discomfort.

In the UAE, there are no specific regulations mandating regular duct cleaning, but it's important to maintain good indoor air quality for health reasons. The dust storms you mentioned have likely stirred up a lot of particles in your home, which can lead to allergic reactions and other respiratory issues. Given that your children are experiencing strong symptoms in their bedroom, it might be best to get the ducts inspected by professionals.

Dust and debris trapped within the HVAC system can circulate through your home, affecting everyone's health, especially young ones who may have weaker immune systems. A professional inspection will help determine if there is a significant amount of dust or other contaminants in your ductwork that need attention. If so, cleaning should be scheduled to remove these irritants.
