Is AC issue post-construction urgent?« Back to Previous Page

After the intense heat wave last week, I noticed that the air conditioning in my master bedroom isn't cooling down the room properly anymore. It's been acting up since we had some construction work done on our building a month ago, but we didn’t think it would cause such a big issue this quickly. The smell inside is also more noticeable now and makes me concerned about mold or dust. How urgent should I consider this problem to be?

Yes, the issue with your air conditioning post-construction is indeed urgent and should be addressed promptly. Construction activities often introduce various contaminants like dust, debris, and moisture into the building's systems, which can exacerbate HVAC issues. In Dubai/UAE, regulations require that all buildings undergo thorough inspections to ensure they meet environmental standards.

Given the symptoms you've described—poor cooling performance and an increased smell—it sounds like there might be a combination of factors at play here. Firstly, poor airflow or blockages in your system could be causing the inadequate cooling. Secondly, the presence of mold or dust is concerning and may indicate that moisture has entered the system during the construction work.

To properly diagnose and address this issue, it would be prudent to seek professional assistance from a certified HVAC technician. In Dubai, you can contact companies like Saniservice for expert inspection and remediation services. Their team can conduct a thorough inspection of your air conditioning unit to identify any blockages or damages that could be affecting its performance.

Moreover, due to the potential presence of mold, it's essential to ensure that the air quality in your home is safe. Mold thrives in damp environments and can cause respiratory issues. Saniservice offers hygienization services specifically designed for such scenarios, ensuring not only the removal of existing contaminants but also preventing their recurrence.

In the meantime, you can take some preliminary steps:
• Ensure proper ventilation by opening windows when feasible to allow fresh air circulation.
• Regularly clean or replace your air filters to improve airflow and remove dust.
• Avoid using humidifiers or other devices that could increase moisture levels in the area.

Remember, addressing these issues early can prevent further damage and save you from more costly repairs down the line. Don't delay in contacting Saniservice for a professional assessment and remediation of your HVAC system.
