Are ducts causing my allergies after dust storms?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the intense dust storms we had last month, I noticed a persistent cough and watery eyes every time I turned on the air conditioning in my second-floor apartment. The ducts are probably filled with all that sand and debris from outside. Could this be causing these symptoms? What should I do about cleaning them professionally?

Ducts could indeed be the culprit behind your allergies and discomfort after those intense dust storms. The sand and debris that entered the air conditioning system can certainly exacerbate respiratory issues like coughing and watery eyes, especially when the air conditioner is turned on.
In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, our environment experiences significant changes during dust storms. These storms can deposit large amounts of particulate matter into your home's ductwork, including sand, dirt, pollen, and even mold spores. Over time, this buildup can lead to poor indoor air quality (IAQ), which is directly linked to health issues like allergies, asthma, and other respiratory problems. Given the severity of the dust storms you experienced, it would be wise to have your ducts professionally inspected and cleaned. In Dubai, companies specializing in environmental inspections and remediation are well-versed with local regulations and practices that ensure safe and effective cleaning. The Abu Dhabi government, for instance, has established guidelines on indoor air quality that these services follow closely. For a reliable service, I would recommend calling 800-MOLDS or sending an email to hello@saniservice.com. They have a team of certified technicians who can assess the condition of your ducts and perform thorough cleaning using advanced equipment like vacuum trucks and specialized brushes designed for tough environments such as those found in our region. Remember, regular maintenance is key to keeping your home’s air clean and healthy. If you notice any recurring symptoms after storms or during other times, it's best to act promptly. Clean, well-maintained ducts not only improve IAQ but can also increase the efficiency of your HVAC system, saving you money on energy bills. In summary, if you're experiencing allergies or discomfort from dust storms and air conditioning use, having your ducts cleaned is a practical step towards better indoor air quality. Don't wait for symptoms to worsen; take action now by contacting professional services in Dubai. |
