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

Absolutely, mold from ducts could be the culprit behind those unpleasant odors and your daughter's cough. In Dubai and the UAE, our climate can make it an ideal environment for mold growth—especially after heavy rains like we had last month. The dampness creates a perfect breeding ground for these pesky spores which can get into the air conditioning system easily.

In the UAE, it is indeed advisable to have your ducts inspected and cleaned if you suspect mold or dirt buildup. The Abu Dhabi Environment Agency (ADEMA) has set guidelines for indoor environmental quality that recommend regular maintenance of HVAC systems to prevent such issues. Not only does this keep the air clean and fresh but it also helps in reducing energy consumption by ensuring optimal functioning of your AC units.

If you're experiencing persistent musty odors or respiratory issues, it's highly recommended to call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for a professional inspection. These experts can pinpoint the source and provide solutions that fit your needs. Don’t hesitate to reach out; early intervention is key to keeping everyone in your home healthy.

Remember, regular maintenance of your HVAC system should be part of your routine here in Dubai, just like changing your car's oil or checking tire pressure. Ignoring these issues can lead to bigger problems down the line. If you feel that your condition worsens with the AC on, it’s a strong indicator that there might be something amiss.

To wrap up, do not delay; take proactive steps towards better indoor air quality by contacting Saniservice at hello@saniservice.com or giving them a call. They are equipped to handle such cases and can ensure your ducts are in top shape for the upcoming months.
