Should I clean air ducts to reduce cough?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the recent dust storm, I noticed a persistent dry cough in my daughter whenever we use the air conditioner. The vents in our living room seem particularly dirty, with visible dust bunnies. We’ve lived here for two years, and this is the first time I’m concerned about the ductwork. Could cleaning the air ducts help reduce allergens and improve everyone's health?

Absolutely, cleaning the air ducts could make a significant difference in reducing allergens and improving indoor air quality. After that sandstorm, it's understandable you'd be concerned about the health impact on your family, especially your daughter.
In dubai and the uae, there are no strict regulations mandating regular duct cleaning but it is highly recommended to keep the air quality as pristine as possible, given the dust storms and other environmental factors. Dust bunnies in vents suggest that the system hasn't been cleaned for a while which can contribute to poor indoor air quality and might be triggering your daughter's cough. Professional duct cleaning is crucial here because it not only removes visible debris but also deep-cleans the entire ductwork, including hard-to-reach areas where bacteria and mold could be breeding. This process involves using specialized tools and vacuums that are powerful enough to suck out dust, dirt, and other particles from your HVAC system. Before you embark on a cleaning journey though, it's wise to have an inspection done by a professional. A certified technician can assess the extent of contamination in the ducts and recommend if cleaning is necessary or if there are other underlying issues that need addressing. They will also ensure that any cleaning process adheres to best practices for maintaining your HVAC system. If you decide to proceed, consider calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com. They offer services tailored to the local environment and can provide a thorough clean to help alleviate those coughing fits and improve overall air quality in your home. Regular maintenance after cleaning will also be important to keep the air fresh. Remember, while duct cleaning is an investment, it pays off in terms of better health for you and your family. |
