Are air ducts causing my son's sneezes?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent sandstorms in Dubai, we’ve noticed a persistent dustiness in our bedroom, especially since my son has started having more frequent sneezes. It’s worrying given their young age, and I’m starting to wonder if it might be from the air ducts not being cleaned properly. Has anyone had similar issues or can recommend a reliable duct cleaning service here?

Yes, air ducts could very well be causing your son's sneezes. Dust and allergens like pollen, pet dander, and mold spores can easily accumulate within the air duct system of a home, especially during sandstorms which are common in Dubai. When these particles are disturbed by airflow or when you're turning on your HVAC system, they can get circulated throughout your home, leading to an increase in allergens and possibly exacerbating respiratory issues like sneezing.

In Dubai, it’s important to follow local regulations regarding air quality and maintenance of HVAC systems. The UAE doesn’t have specific laws mandating regular duct cleaning but the best practice is to clean or inspect your ducts at least once a year, if not more often depending on the conditions of use. Given that you've experienced persistent dustiness after sandstorms, it’s quite possible that your air ducts aren't being cleaned properly.

For reliable services in Dubai, I recommend companies like Saniservice who are well-known for their expertise in this field. They offer professional duct cleaning and inspection which can help identify any issues and ensure the system is working efficiently to keep your home free from allergens.

If you’re not sure about the condition of your ducts or need a thorough check-up, consider getting an inspection done. This will give you peace of mind knowing that your home’s air quality meets safety standards. Remember, clean air can significantly improve comfort and health in your home, especially for those who might be more sensitive like children.

To get started with a professional service, you can call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an appointment. Early action could prevent further issues and ensure that your family remains healthy during these challenging times.

It’s also beneficial to use air purifiers in your home, particularly in rooms where your son spends a lot of time, like the bedroom. This can help reduce allergens even if the ducts aren’t cleaned as often as recommended.

Keep an eye on changes in his symptoms and consult with a healthcare provider if you notice any worsening conditions or concerns about his health.
