Could duct cleaning help with coughing and sneezing?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we experienced last month, my family has been complaining of persistent coughing and sneezing, especially in our bedroom. The air feels thick and it’s hard to breathe sometimes, even with the windows open. Has anyone else noticed similar issues or should I consider getting the ducts cleaned?

Absolutely, duct cleaning could help alleviate the coughing and sneezing your family is experiencing. In Dubai/UAE, dust storms like the one you mentioned can indeed carry a lot of particulate matter into your home's ventilation system through the air intakes. This accumulated dirt, debris, and allergens can travel through the ductwork and be circulated throughout your living space every time your HVAC system operates.

Given that you've noticed persistent coughing and sneezing in your bedroom, which is a common area where people spend a lot of their time, it's quite possible that the air quality in there isn't as good as it should be. The UAE doesn’t have specific regulations on duct cleaning, but it’s important to ensure that any company you hire follows best practices and standards set by organizations like NADCA (North American Duct Cleaning Association) or ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers).

I would recommend getting your air ducts inspected professionally. A certified technician can assess the condition of your ductwork, identify areas that need cleaning, and provide recommendations on how to improve indoor air quality in your home. If it’s determined that your ducts are a source of these issues, professional duct cleaning could be highly beneficial.

Remember, not all duct cleaners use the same techniques or equipment. Make sure to choose a company with good reviews and experience in the UAE market. At Saniservice, we offer thorough duct cleaning services that can help restore clean airflow and improve your indoor air quality. If you decide to proceed, our team can ensure that your ducts are cleaned effectively without causing any damage.

Just as an FYI, there was a small typo in the last sentence about calling 800-MOLDS – it should be 800-66537.
