Cleaning air conditioning ducts is quite essential to ensure good indoor environmental quality and maintain the comfort of your home.

This might be exactly what you're experiencing with the dry cough and runny nose when turning on the air con.

The frequency of duct cleaning varies based on several factors including the location (like your exposure to dust), type of AC unit, and how often it is used. The general recommendation from professionals in this field would be to clean your air conditioning ducts every 3-5 years, or sooner if you notice any issues like the ones you're experiencing.

However, given the peculiarities of the UAE climate with its sandstorms, it might be wise for you to consider a more frequent cleaning schedule. In cases where there have been significant dust storms, it's advisable to inspect and clean your ducts as soon as possible. This not only helps reduce allergens but also improves overall air quality in your home.

A thorough inspection by a professional can identify any issues that may need attention beyond just cleaning. If you're experiencing persistent symptoms like yours, an inspection might be necessary to rule out other causes such as mold or other contaminants.

Remember, regular maintenance and cleaning of your AC system will not only help reduce these unpleasant symptoms but also enhance the efficiency of your unit.

So, if you feel that your symptoms are directly linked to the use of your air conditioning, it's a good idea to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection and cleaning service.
