Could cleaning ducts improve our family's symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent heavy dust storm in Dubai, I noticed a thick layer of dust settling on everything in my living room. The children have been coughing more than usual lately, and I'm starting to wonder if it might be from the air ducts. The filters look clean enough, but what if there's something deeper inside? Could cleaning the ducts help reduce these symptoms for my family?

Absolutely, cleaning the air ducts could be beneficial for your family's health and comfort. In dubai, we often experience dusty conditions like during those recent storms, which can lead to an accumulation of dust, pollen, and other allergens within your home’s HVAC system. These particles can circulate through your house, affecting not only the quality of indoor air but also contributing to respiratory issues.
In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, there are no specific regulations mandating regular duct cleaning for residential properties. However, given the climate and dust storms, it would be wise to consider professional inspection and cleaning services. A thorough inspection can reveal if there's a significant amount of debris or mold that could be causing your children’s coughing. Dust and other allergens in air ducts can exacerbate respiratory problems, especially for those with allergies or asthma. By removing these irritants, you can improve the overall indoor air quality (IAQ) and potentially reduce symptoms like coughing and sneezing. Here are a few practical steps to consider: 1. Professional Inspection: A certified technician will use specialized equipment to check your ducts for any contaminants that might be affecting your home’s IAQ. 2. Duct Cleaning: If debris or mold is found, professional cleaning can help remove these issues from the system. 3. Regular Maintenance: After cleaning, it's important to maintain good IAQ practices such as changing filters regularly and keeping your home well-ventilated.
