Are duct issues causing health problems?« Back to Previous Page
|
The AC in my apartment seems to be running a bit differently lately; it’s much louder than usual, almost like there are more fans going. This past week, we’ve been experiencing some pretty strong odors coming from the vents, particularly at night when I try to sleep with the fan on. My kids have been complaining of runny noses and coughs since last month after a particularly heavy rainstorm. Could this be related to our office duct issues or is it just coincidence?

Absolutely, duct issues can indeed be linked to health concerns. In the UAE, especially in regions like Dubai, where humidity levels and dust are high, it's quite common for air conditioning systems to experience problems that could lead to unpleasant odors, increased noise, and even health issues among inhabitants.
In your case, the noises you're hearing from the AC unit might be due to a clogged or damaged duct system. This can happen when debris, dust, or moisture accumulate in the ducts, particularly after heavy rainstorms. The strong odors could indicate mold growth, which is more likely with increased humidity and poor ventilation. Considering your kids' complaints of runny noses and coughs, it's possible that they're reacting to allergens or irritants being circulated through the air. In Dubai, where we experience high levels of dust and sand from time to time, this can exacerbate respiratory issues especially in children. To properly address these concerns, I'd recommend scheduling a professional inspection. Our company, Saniservice, is well-versed in dealing with such issues and could provide you with a thorough assessment of your duct system.
