Could ducts be spreading the smell and coughing?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I noticed a strange smell lingering in our living room. It's almost like it’s coming from the vents, but I’m not sure. My kids have been coughing more than usual lately, and I can’t shake the feeling that something isn't right. Could this be related to the ducts? Should we consider getting them cleaned soon?

It's definitely possible that the ducts could be contributing to both the smell and coughing issues you're experiencing. In Dubai, like many areas of the UAE, we often face extreme weather conditions such as sandstorms which can deposit a significant amount of dust and particulates into your home’s ventilation system. These particles can become airborne when the HVAC system operates, spreading around your living space.

When the ducts haven't been cleaned in a while, they can accumulate substantial amounts of dirt, mold spores, and other allergens. This accumulation is not just unsightly but also poses health risks, especially for family members with sensitive respiratory systems or allergies like your kids. The dust and debris from these storms could be causing the strange smell you're noticing, and it might explain why they are coughing more.

To ensure the air quality in your home remains at a healthy level, I would recommend considering professional duct cleaning. In Dubai, companies that specialize in this service use advanced equipment to thoroughly clean the ductwork, which can significantly reduce allergens and improve indoor air quality. This process not only cleans but also deodorizes the ducts, helping to eliminate unpleasant odors.

Additionally, it's a good idea to have your HVAC system inspected by a professional at least once a year in Dubai. Regular maintenance can help identify issues such as blocked vents or damaged components that might be contributing to poor air quality and health concerns.
