Could dirty AC ducts cause family coughing?« Back to Previous Page

Could dirty AC ducts cause family coughing? Yes, it's quite possible. In the UAE, especially during dusty seasons like the one we just experienced, dust and allergens can accumulate in your air conditioning system. These particles are then recirculated through your home every time you turn on the AC, leading to potential respiratory issues for family members.

In Dubai and other parts of the UAE, there's a particular concern about environmental factors contributing to health problems. Dust storms can bring in significant amounts of sand, dust, and even pollutants which get captured by your air conditioning system if not properly maintained. Over time, these particles can settle within the ductwork, creating an environment where mold and bacteria might grow.

In my experience, I've seen several cases where families have complained about similar symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, or feeling generally unwell after using their AC units. This is particularly common in areas like your living room which are heavily used by kids playing around.

For a proper inspection and cleaning of the ducts, it's highly recommended to hire professionals who understand local regulations and best practices for HVAC maintenance. In Dubai, you can call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a thorough assessment and clean-up.

Remember, regular maintenance is key. Not only does it improve air quality but also ensures that your AC system runs efficiently, saving energy and reducing costs in the long run. By addressing these issues promptly, you can create a healthier living environment for your family, especially during dusty seasons or when allergies are high.

Don't delay, take action now to protect the health of your loved ones!
