Could duct cleaning help with persistent coughs?« Back to Previous Page

Duct cleaning could indeed be helpful for your situation. After the recent dust storm hitting Dubai, it's quite possible that some debris from the event might still linger in your ductwork. In the UAE, especially considering our weather conditions and environmental factors, regular maintenance of HVAC systems is crucial to ensure good indoor air quality.

In Dubai, regulations require that buildings undergo periodic inspection and maintenance checks, which should include examining and cleaning the HVAC system. Dust storms can introduce a variety of particulates into your home including fine sand particles, pollen, dust mites, and other allergens. These could contribute to respiratory issues like persistent coughs, especially among children.

To address this issue effectively, I would recommend scheduling a professional inspection first. This way, an expert can assess the current state of your ductwork and determine if there is any debris from the recent storm or even regular dust build-up that needs to be addressed. At Saniservice, we use specialized equipment like vacuum cleaners with HEPA filters and brushes designed for deep cleaning inside the ducts.

Typically, a thorough cleaning involves removing visible debris, mold spores (if present), and other contaminants that can affect air quality. Once cleaned, your HVAC system will operate more efficiently, reducing energy consumption and improving overall indoor climate control. For best results, it's advised to clean your ducts every 3-5 years or as recommended by an HVAC professional.

If you are concerned about the health of your family, especially your children, and notice symptoms like persistent coughing, consider having a full indoor air quality assessment done. This would not only cover duct cleaning but also check for other potential allergens or pollutants in your home.

Remember, while do-it-yourself cleaning can be tempting, it’s often more effective to have professionals handle the job. They are equipped with proper tools and techniques that ensure thorough cleaning without causing damage to your system.
