Could duct cleaning solve our allergy symptoms?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the recent stormy weather last month, I noticed a persistent musty smell lingering in our hallway, especially after the air conditioning kicks on. My daughter has had a persistent cough that started a few weeks ago, and my husband has complained of itchy eyes whenever he spends time in there too. Could this be related to the ducts needing cleaning? What symptoms should I be most concerned about and what can we do to address this issue?

Absolutely could be the case. In dubai and the UAE, where we experience high temperatures coupled with humidity, ducts can easily accumulate dust, mold spores, and other allergens. These particles can get trapped in the air conditioning system and circulate through your home, leading to allergy symptoms like those you're experiencing.
Persistent coughing, itchy eyes, and a musty smell are telltale signs that your indoor environment may be suffering from poor air quality due to dirty ducts. In such cases, professional duct cleaning is highly recommended as it can significantly improve the air you breathe in your home. UAE regulations require regular maintenance of HVAC systems, particularly in commercial buildings and public spaces. While there are no specific laws mandating residential duct cleaning, following industry best practices ensures a healthier living environment for you and your family. To address this issue effectively: 1. Call For A Professional Inspection: Before proceeding with any cleaning, it's crucial to have your HVAC system inspected by a certified professional. They can assess the condition of your ducts, identify any issues, and recommend appropriate cleaning or repair services. 2. Schedule Duct Cleaning: Once you've confirmed the need for cleaning, choose an experienced company that specializes in this service. In dubai, companies like Saniservice are known for their thorough approach to duct cleaning. 3. Maintain Regular Maintenance: After initial cleaning, plan for regular maintenance checks every 1-2 years or as per your HVAC system’s manufacturer recommendations. Remember, professional duct cleaning can drastically reduce the presence of allergens in your home air and potentially alleviate allergy symptoms such as coughing and itchy eyes. For more information or to schedule an inspection, you can call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. Taking this step will not only help improve the indoor air quality but also contribute to a healthier living environment for your family. |
