Could dirty ducts cause these issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I noticed a lot of dust accumulating on furniture and surfaces throughout my apartment. My kids have been complaining of itchy eyes and coughing, especially in the evenings when we turn on the air conditioner. The air feels stuffy and doesn't seem to be circulating properly. Could this be due to dirty ducts? What should I do?

Could dirty ducts cause these issues? Yes, indeed they could. In dubai and the uae, we often experience dust storms that can introduce a large amount of particulate matter into our homes. If your air conditioning system isn't properly maintained, this dirt and debris might get trapped in the ductwork, leading to an accumulation over time.

The symptoms you've described - itchy eyes, coughing, and feeling stuffy – are common when there's poor indoor air quality (IAQ) and could be linked to dirty ducts. The air circulation issues can also make your apartment feel less comfortable, as the system isn't doing its job efficiently.

In dubai, we have specific regulations for building maintenance that include regular inspections of HVAC systems. However, given the recent dust storms, it's advisable to get a professional inspection and cleaning done right away. This will not only improve your air quality but also ensure that your air conditioner is operating at peak efficiency.

To address this issue, i would strongly recommend calling 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional duct cleaning service. A good contractor in the area should be able to thoroughly clean the ductwork and filters, as well as inspect the system for any other issues that might affect its performance.

Remember, maintaining your air conditioning system is crucial for both comfort and health. Regular servicing can prevent these issues from arising and keep your home environment fresh and clean.
