Is duct cleaning covered by insurance?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm last month, we've noticed a persistent cough and runny nose in the bedroom where our youngest son sleeps. The AC vents feel dusty to touch, and there’s a slight musty smell that persists even after airing out the room. Could this be related to duct issues, and should I consider having them cleaned?

Duct cleaning is a service that can indeed be covered by insurance depending on your policy and the circumstances. In Dubai/UAE, if you suspect that the persistent symptoms your son has could be related to issues within your HVAC system, it's wise to first get an inspection done.
The dust storm last month might have introduced particulates into your ductwork which could explain the dusty feeling in the AC vents and the musty smell. In such cases, professional duct cleaning can be a good step to ensure better indoor air quality. However, whether this is covered by insurance would depend on your specific policy terms. For example, some insurance policies might cover repairs or maintenance related to your HVAC system if it's deemed necessary due to damage from an insured event like the dust storm. Other policies may not cover preventive measures unless they are deemed absolutely essential for health and safety reasons. If you're unsure whether duct cleaning is covered by your policy, check with your insurer directly. They can provide clarity on what is included under your coverage. Should it turn out that insurance doesn't cover this service or if the issue persists after a regular clean, consider consulting a professional in indoor environmental quality like us at Saniservice.
