Should I clean ducts due to odor and coughing?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storms we had a few weeks ago, I noticed a strange odor lingering in the living room, especially when the air conditioner was running. My daughter has been complaining of persistent coughing, and I can’t shake the feeling it’s related to something not clean in our ducts. Given that we have small children and elderly family members staying with us, this worries me greatly. Has anyone here had similar issues and what did you do about cleaning the ducts?

Absolutely, the symptoms your family is experiencing could be linked to poor indoor air quality which often stems from uncleaned ductwork. In dubai/uae, we've seen similar cases where families are dealing with lingering odors and respiratory issues due to dust, mold spores, or other allergens trapped in their HVAC systems.
The heavy dust storms you experienced a few weeks back can definitely exacerbate this issue as they introduce large amounts of particulates into the air. These particles get caught within your ducts, which aren't always cleaned regularly. Over time, these build-ups can lead to unpleasant odors and health concerns like coughing or respiratory irritation. Given that you have small children and elderly family members in your home, it's important to address this promptly. Professional inspection of your HVAC system is recommended especially as uae has specific regulations around indoor air quality, though i'll leave the exact wording to the experts at the department of energy efficiency & water conservation (dewec).
