Duct cleaning is indeed important for asthma concerns. Given the recent dust storm in the UAE and the increase in dust accumulating in your living room vents, it's crucial to consider professional duct cleaning services. In Dubai, we often experience dusty conditions due to sandstorms and other environmental factors which can lead to an accumulation of particles inside your HVAC system.

The UAE doesn't have specific regulations mandating regular duct cleaning but it is highly recommended by the American Lung Association and other health organizations for homes with children or individuals suffering from asthma. Dust, mold spores, pet dander, and other allergens that accumulate in your ducts can circulate through your home's air system and exacerbate respiratory issues like coughing and wheezing.

Given that your little one has started to cough more frequently, it might be wise to have a professional inspection first. This will help identify the exact source of the problem and ensure you're addressing all potential allergens in your home. Once identified, a thorough duct cleaning can significantly reduce these irritants.

If you decide to proceed with duct cleaning, look for companies that are certified by the National Air Duct Cleaning Association (NADCA) or equivalent local standards. They will use proper techniques and equipment to clean your ducts effectively without causing damage. After the job, ensure they provide a detailed report of their findings and steps taken.

To get in touch with a reliable service provider, you can call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com for an assessment. Remember to ask about their credentials and any references from previous clients before booking the service.

Cleaning your ducts is not just about addressing asthma concerns but also improving overall indoor air quality, which can benefit you and your family's health in the long run.
