Should we clean HVAC ducts after sandstorm?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent sandstorm, I noticed a lot of dust and debris in my air vents, especially in the master bedroom where the AC filter is. It’s been months since anyone has cleaned these, and with迪拜的空气质量问题,我担心家里的通风系统可能积聚了不少灰尘和杂质。我们已经住了两年了,这次沙尘暴后感觉空气特别不流通,担心这会对家人的健康产生影响。我们应该考虑请专业人员来清洁一下通风管道吗?成本大概是多少呢?

Absolutely, after the recent sandstorm, it’s crucial to address potential dust and debris accumulation within your HVAC ducts. In Dubai, the high frequency of sandstorms can indeed lead to significant build-up which may affect air quality and even pose health risks.

According to UAE regulations, regular maintenance of HVAC systems is advisable, particularly in areas prone to such weather conditions. The Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) emphasizes the importance of maintaining good indoor air quality to protect public health. Dust and sand particles can carry allergens, mold spores, and even harmful pollutants that can be detrimental when circulated through your home.

Given the situation you've described, it would indeed be wise to consider professional duct cleaning services. Not only will this improve your family's comfort but also ensure better indoor air quality, especially for those with respiratory issues or allergies. The technician can thoroughly inspect and clean the ducts, ensuring that they are free from debris that could otherwise impact system efficiency.

Typically, a full duct cleaning process in Dubai might range from AED 1,500 to AED 3,000 depending on the size of your home and the extent of contamination. However, this can vary based on the service provider. It's advisable to get at least three quotes to compare prices and services offered.

Remember, maintaining clean ducts is a key aspect of an effective HVAC system, leading not only to better air quality but also energy efficiency and extended equipment life. If you notice any unusual odors or suspect mold growth due to the sandstorm, it's highly recommended to have a professional inspection. Mold can be hazardous if left unchecked, especially in high-humidity environments like Dubai.
