Are old ducts causing respiratory issues?« Back to Previous Page

Since we moved into our new apartment a year ago, my family has been dealing with persistent respiratory issues, especially during winter months. The ductwork in the central AC unit is quite old and hasn’t been cleaned since then. I’m really worried about the kids breathing in all those germs and allergens that could be circulating through the system. Has anyone had similar concerns or tips on getting our ducts professionally cleaned?

Absolutely, old ducts can definitely cause respiratory issues, especially during the winter months. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we've seen a lot of cases where dust and allergens have accumulated in ductwork over time, leading to breathing problems for residents.

In your situation, it sounds like the old duct system might be a significant factor affecting your family's health. The central AC unit being used without regular cleaning has likely allowed a buildup of bacteria, mold spores, pollen, and other particulates that get circulated throughout the air in your home. This can exacerbate respiratory conditions, particularly for children who are more vulnerable to allergens.

Given the severity of your concerns, it’s highly advisable to seek professional help from an expert in indoor environmental quality or a service provider experienced with duct cleaning in Dubai. These professionals will conduct a thorough inspection and clean your ducts effectively. According to UAE regulations, HVAC systems should be regularly serviced every 2-3 years at minimum, especially if they are old.

Saniservice is one of the reputable companies in this area that I can recommend. They specialize in providing professional air duct cleaning services tailored for Dubai’s climate and regulatory standards. Their team will use advanced equipment like vacuum cleaners with HEPA filters to remove contaminants from your ducts, ensuring a healthier indoor environment.

Don't delay; act now before the situation worsens. Call 800-MOLDS (or dial 800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for more information and to schedule an appointment. Prioritizing your family’s health is crucial, so let's not wait until it gets worse.

Remember, clean air in your home can significantly improve the well-being of you and your children. Take action today!
