Duct cleaning in Dubai/UAE is regulated to ensure the health and safety of building occupants. However, it's important to note that duct cleaning itself doesn't typically cause symptoms like headaches, fatigue or respiratory issues. These might be related to other factors such as poor indoor air quality (IAQ), mold growth, allergens, or even carbon monoxide exposure.
In Dubai, the Environmental Health and Safety Regulations emphasize proper maintenance of HVAC systems which includes regular duct cleaning. This helps in preventing dust, dirt, and other contaminants from accumulating within the system, thereby maintaining good IAQ. If you're experiencing these symptoms, it would be wise to have your home's air quality inspected by a professional. A qualified environmental inspector can assess your ducts for any potential issues such as mold, pest infestations, or blocked filters that could contribute to these symptoms. They might also check for other indoor pollutants like volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from furnishings or cleaning products. For a thorough and reliable inspection, you may want to contact an accredited company in Dubai like Saniservice who can provide a comprehensive analysis of your home's environment. They offer services including ductwork cleaning, mold testing, and air quality assessments. Remember, if symptoms persist after cleaning, it’s important to seek medical advice as these could be related to various health conditions unrelated to the indoor environment. Meanwhile, ensure good ventilation in your home, use an air purifier if necessary, and keep humidity levels low to prevent mold growth.
