Should I clean ducts to avoid coughing?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent dust storm that hit Dubai, we’ve noticed a persistent cough among our family members, especially when the air conditioning is on. The ducts in my bedroom seem particularly dirty with visible dust bunnies, which worries me as my 5-year-old spends most of her time there. Given these circumstances, could someone provide advice or recommend a good duct cleaning service?

Absolutely, cleaning your ducts could be the key to resolving that pesky cough. Especially after the recent dust storm, it's understandable you're concerned about the air quality in your home, especially for a small child.

In dubai, we've seen an increase in respiratory issues linked to poor indoor air quality. The UAE has some regulations regarding indoor environments but they often recommend regular maintenance and cleaning of HVAC systems including ductwork. Your bedroom seems particularly affected by dust accumulation – that’s not surprising given the recent weather conditions.

Firstly, it's essential to understand the impact of dirty ducts. Over time, dust, mold spores, pet dander, and other allergens can collect in your HVAC system. These particles get circulated throughout your home when you use the air conditioner or heater, which is exactly what might be causing those persistent coughing fits.

I’d recommend having a professional inspection of your ducts to assess their condition thoroughly. This will help identify any specific issues like mold growth or significant dust accumulation that could be contributing to your family’s health concerns. If the situation requires it, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to improve air quality and reduce allergens in the environment.

To take care of this, you can contact a reputable company such as Saniservice. They offer professional duct cleaning services tailored for the UAE climate conditions. Remember, regular maintenance is key to keeping your home's air clean and safe, especially during seasonal changes or after significant weather events like dust storms.
