Why is dust coming from AC vents?« Back to Previous Page

After the intense summer heat this past week, I noticed a persistent dust storm coming from the vents every time we turn on the air conditioning in my living room. It’s bizarre because it didn’t happen before, even though we’ve lived here for two years and never had any issues with dust buildup. Could there be something specific about the AC or the recent cleaning practices that could cause this?

Dust coming from the AC vents can be quite an annoyance, especially during the intense summer heat we've been experiencing. In Dubai and the UAE, it's important to consider a few things that could contribute to this issue.

Firstly, the recent dust storms in the region might have contributed to a higher-than-normal amount of airborne particles. However, if you haven't experienced similar issues before, there are other factors to look at. For instance, changes in your air conditioning system or cleaning practices could be the culprits here.

In Dubai and the UAE, it's crucial that your AC units undergo regular maintenance. Dust build-up can occur over time, especially during periods of high use like these intense summers. When the AC is turned on, accumulated dust particles can get dislodged and circulate through the system. This is why you might be noticing an increase in dust coming from the vents.

Additionally, if your recent cleaning practices involved using harsh chemicals or improper methods, this could have disturbed settled dust and sent it airborne. It’s essential to use appropriate cleaning agents that are less likely to cause dust particles to become airborne while still effectively removing dirt and grime.
