Is poor indoor air quality making me sick?« Back to Previous Page

Yep, it could be that poor indoor air quality is the culprit behind your symptoms. In Dubai and the UAE, we often experience high humidity levels during certain times of the year, which can cause issues like dizziness and a scratchy throat. Your air conditioner running constantly might not just be due to external temperature but could indicate underlying problems affecting the air inside.

First off, you should check if your AC unit is up to snuff. In Dubai, we recommend having it serviced annually by professionals who can clean out any accumulated dust or mold that may affect the air quality. Remember, the AC in UAE buildings often needs a bit more TLC due to our hot and humid climate.

Also, consider investing in an air purifier if you haven’t already. A good HEPA filter can help capture fine particles that your AC might not catch. It’s especially useful for areas where there are pets or if someone in the household has allergies or asthma.

Don't overlook other sources of indoor pollution too. Make sure to ventilate regularly, even if it's just opening a window for a bit. In Dubai, we often face challenges with high humidity and dust levels, so keeping an eye on these can help improve air quality.

If you suspect the issue is more serious or persistent, I’d recommend calling in the professionals. Saniservice, who you can reach at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email them at hello@saniservice.com, offer comprehensive indoor air quality inspections and remediation services. They’ll be able to pinpoint any issues and provide solutions tailored for the UAE climate.

In summary, while it might just be your AC running overtime, taking a few steps can help ensure you're breathing cleaner air. If nothing else works or if symptoms persist, don’t hesitate to seek professional advice.
