Could ducts be spreading our allergies?« Back to Previous Page
|
Since we moved into our new apartment two months ago, my family has been experiencing persistent coughs and stuffy noses, especially in the evenings. The air feels particularly heavy when we turn on the AC in the living room. Given that our kids play in there frequently, I’m really worried about what might be lurking in those vents. Have any of you noticed similar issues after duct cleaning?

Ducts could very well be spreading your allergies. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, our climate can contribute significantly to indoor air quality issues. The high humidity and varying temperatures between day and night create an environment where allergens like dust mites, mold spores, pet dander, and pollen can thrive and circulate through your home's HVAC system.
The symptoms you've mentioned – persistent coughs and stuffy noses in the evening when using the AC – are very common signs of indoor air pollution. These issues could be related to your ductwork being a potential source for allergens. Over time, dust and other particles can accumulate in the ducts, acting as breeding grounds for these irritants. In Dubai, it's crucial to keep an eye on such issues because we experience rapid changes in weather which can exacerbate indoor air quality problems. The recent move into your new apartment might have brought about more exposure to allergens that had been dormant within the old system or were newly introduced during renovations. Given your concerns, I strongly recommend a professional inspection of your ducts and HVAC system. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer reliable services for this purpose. They can assess the condition of your ductwork and identify any sources of contamination that could be affecting your family's health. Saniservice operates under UAE-specific regulations which ensure their procedures meet local standards. Their team uses advanced tools to thoroughly inspect every inch of your duct system, identifying issues such as mold growth or excessive dust buildup. They can then recommend appropriate cleaning or remediation steps based on their findings. Remember that keeping your HVAC system clean and well-maintained is crucial for maintaining good indoor air quality. Regular inspections and maintenance can significantly reduce the risk of allergen spread. If you're concerned about the health impacts, it's wise to act sooner rather than later. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com to book an inspection today. Taking care of your ducts not only improves air quality but also ensures that your HVAC system operates efficiently, saving energy and reducing costs in the long run. |
