Could mold in ducts cause these symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be running much louder than usual lately, especially at night. Last week, after a particularly humid day, I started noticing a strange musty smell coming from the vents. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits more frequently, and even my partner mentioned having a sore throat occasionally. Could this be related to our office ducts?

Absolutely, mold in your office ducts can indeed cause the symptoms you've been experiencing. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, humidity levels can be quite high, particularly during certain months like summer, which might contribute to mold growth within the HVAC system. Mold spores can travel through the air and get distributed throughout your living space, leading to issues such as coughing fits, sore throats, and other respiratory problems.
It's not uncommon for us here in Dubai to see an increase in complaints about musty smells and louder AC units during humid periods due to increased moisture levels that favor mold growth. The UAE has certain regulations around indoor air quality, but it’s still important for residents and property managers alike to keep a watchful eye on their HVAC systems. Given the symptoms you've mentioned, I would highly recommend having your ducts inspected by a professional service.
