Duct sealing is indeed something to consider, but it's also important to look at other factors that might be affecting your family's well-being. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, indoor air quality can be a real concern due to the climate and building practices. Ductwork can accumulate dust, mold spores, and other contaminants over time which could lead to issues like headaches, fatigue, or respiratory problems.

First off, it's crucial to note that duct sealing is just one part of maintaining good indoor air quality. In your case, if you are experiencing symptoms such as those mentioned, it would be wise to have a professional conduct an inspection. At Saniservice, we recommend getting in touch with us or another reputable company to perform a thorough assessment.

In Dubai, there aren't specific regulations that mandate duct sealing, but the government does enforce building codes that require proper ventilation and air quality management. If your home has improperly sealed ducts, this can lead to poor airflow, which might contribute to the issues you're experiencing. However, other factors such as improper insulation, inadequate ventilation, or even the presence of mold in other parts of the house could also be playing a role.

To get started, call us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an inspection. Our experts will assess your ductwork and overall air quality. They'll check for any leaks, measure the efficiency of your HVAC system, and look out for signs of mold or other contaminants.

It’s also helpful to keep your home clean and well-maintained. Regularly cleaning vents, changing filters, and ensuring proper humidity levels can significantly improve indoor air quality. In Dubai's climate, maintaining a balance between keeping cool and avoiding moisture buildup is key.

In conclusion, while duct sealing could be an issue contributing to the symptoms you're experiencing, it’s important to have a comprehensive inspection before jumping to conclusions. Don’t hesitate to reach out for professional help to ensure your family stays healthy in your home environment.
