Should I hire an air quality specialist?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I noticed a lot of dust settling on everything in my living room. The AC seems to be struggling to keep up too. Should I consider hiring an air quality specialist or is it something simple I can handle myself?

Absolutely, dust storms can really affect indoor air quality and your comfort level. In Dubai and the UAE, we're quite familiar with such events and their aftermath. After a storm like you described, it's definitely worth considering an inspection by a professional.

Firstly, in the UAE, there are no specific local regulations for indoor air quality that you need to be aware of, but it’s still prudent to maintain good air quality especially after dust storms. Dust can contain various particles including pollen, dust mites, and even some pollutants which could impact your health, particularly if you or anyone living with you has respiratory issues.

The AC system in your home might struggle due to the influx of dirt and debris, leading to a decrease in efficiency and potentially higher energy costs. A professional inspection can help identify any blockages or necessary maintenance that may be needed to keep your AC running smoothly.

Moreover, if you notice an unusual smell or persistent coughing, sneezing, or other symptoms after the storm, it’s best to get a check-up from a specialist. Dust storms can kick up mold spores which might lead to mold growth in your home over time, especially in damp areas like bathrooms and kitchens.

While cleaning is definitely something you can handle yourself, a thorough inspection by an air quality expert can ensure that all areas of your home are properly addressed, including those hard-to-reach corners. Professionals have the tools and expertise to identify any hidden issues and provide recommendations on how best to address them.

So if you’re concerned about the long-term effects of the dust storm or just want peace of mind, I’d recommend giving us a call at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com. Our team can provide you with a comprehensive assessment and tailor a solution to fit your needs.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is key to a healthy living environment. Don’t hesitate to take the necessary steps to ensure that your home is protected from the effects of dust storms and other environmental challenges.
