Is duct cleaning causing my bedroom allergies?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last week, I’ve noticed a persistent cough and itchy eyes every time I enter my bedroom. The AC in my apartment seems to circulate this thick, dusty air, making it hard to breathe sometimes. Have anyone here experienced similar issues after duct cleaning?

Duct cleaning can indeed be a culprit for your bedroom allergies. Dust and debris that accumulate within the ductwork of an air conditioning system can get circulated throughout your apartment, introducing allergens like dust mites, mold spores, and pollen into the air you breathe. This is especially common in areas with frequent sandstorms or dusty conditions, as it sounds like we've experienced recently here in Dubai.

After those heavy dust storms, it's not uncommon for homeowners to experience respiratory issues such as coughing and itchy eyes when they return to their apartments. The AC system can indeed spread this thick, dusty air throughout the space, making breathing difficult at times. It’s important to ensure that your ductwork is clean and free of obstructions and contaminants.

In Dubai and other parts of the UAE, regulations regarding indoor environmental quality are becoming more stringent. However, it's crucial for homeowners like you to take proactive steps in maintaining good air quality within their living spaces. If you're experiencing persistent symptoms such as coughing and eye irritation, it might be wise to have a professional inspection done. This can help determine if the ductwork is indeed the source of your discomfort.

I would recommend reaching out to professionals at Saniservice for an inspection. They provide reliable services that can identify any issues within your ducts and HVAC system. Their contact number is 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or you could email hello@saniservice.com for more information.

Remember, regular maintenance of your air conditioning units and ductwork can prevent such issues from arising in the future. Don’t hesitate to take action now to ensure a healthier living environment for yourself and your family.
