Should I worry about mold in my AC affecting kids?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, it's important to take notice of those symptoms your kids have been showing. Mold in the AC system can indeed cause respiratory issues and other health concerns especially for children who are more sensitive.

In Dubai, we often experience high humidity levels, which create a perfect environment for mold growth. Thunderstorms can increase moisture content in the air, potentially leading to the proliferation of mold spores within your central air conditioning ducts. These spores can be easily circulated through your home when you turn on your AC, causing discomfort and possibly triggering allergic reactions or asthma symptoms.

The UAE, including Dubai, has regulations that set standards for indoor air quality. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of the UAE emphasizes the importance of maintaining clean HVAC systems to ensure a healthy living environment. According to these guidelines, regular maintenance checks are crucial to prevent mold growth and other contaminants from spreading through your home.

Given the recent weather conditions and the symptoms reported by your kids, it would be wise to call in professionals for an inspection. At Saniservice, we specialize in such cases. Our team can thoroughly inspect your AC system for any signs of mold and provide necessary remediation services if required. Early intervention is key to preventing long-term health effects.

If you decide not to seek professional help, make sure to clean the filters regularly, use a dehumidifier to reduce indoor humidity, and ensure proper ventilation in your home. These steps can help mitigate the risk of mold growth but might not fully address the problem if it's already established within the ductwork.

Remember, it's better to be safe than sorry when it comes to health issues. Don't hesitate to contact us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional consultation and service.
