Could dusty ducts cause coughing and noise?

Absolutely. Dusty ducts can indeed contribute to both issues you're experiencing. In the UAE, particularly during sandstorms like the one we had last month, dust particles can get into your ventilation system and remain there unless properly cleaned. These particulates might circulate throughout your home, affecting air quality and causing respiratory irritations such as coughing.

Regarding the noise from the AC unit in your bedroom upstairs, it's possible that clogged ducts could be part of the problem. When dust accumulates, it can restrict airflow and affect the normal operation of the system, leading to unusual sounds or even reduced efficiency. However, there are other factors like a malfunctioning fan or loose components that might also cause such noises.

Many people in Dubai have reported similar issues after sandstorms. In our experience, regular maintenance is crucial for maintaining good indoor air quality and ensuring efficient HVAC systems. It’s recommended you have your ducts professionally inspected to determine the extent of the dust buildup and get a plan to clean them properly.
