Should we worry about air quality after a sandstorm?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the recent sandstorm that lasted for three days, I noticed a strange smell lingering in the living room every time the air conditioning turns on. My partner and I are concerned it might be due to dust and mold collecting in the ducts since we haven't had them cleaned in over two years. We're worried about our health and the overall quality of the air we breathe. Have you experienced similar issues after a sandstorm? How often should duct cleaning ideally take place to prevent such problems from recurring?

Absolutely, after the recent sandstorm that lasted for 3 days, it's understandable to be concerned about air quality. In dubai, sandstorms can introduce a significant amount of particulate matter and dust into your home. This can certainly affect indoor air quality and potentially lead to health issues, especially if you're sensitive to allergens or have respiratory problems.
In the uae, there are no specific regulations mandating duct cleaning frequency, but it's generally recommended that you clean your HVAC system every 1-3 years depending on factors like usage and environmental conditions. Since you haven't had yours cleaned in over two years, it might be time to consider a professional inspection and possibly a thorough cleaning. Dust and mold can indeed accumulate in the ducts during such storms, leading to unpleasant odors or even health issues. Regular maintenance helps prevent these problems from recurring. Professional duct cleaning not only removes dust but also eliminates any potential mold growth which could release spores into your home's air. If you're experiencing a lingering smell every time the ac turns on, it might be worth scheduling an inspection with a certified professional. They can assess the condition of your ducts and recommend the best course of action to improve indoor air quality in your living room. Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for everyone's health, especially during harsh weather conditions like sandstorms.
