Are unclean ducts causing our symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I’ve noticed a persistent cough and sneezing especially after turning on the air conditioning in my living room. My kids have been complaining of itchy eyes too. Could this be related to the ducts not being cleaned properly? Should I call an expert to check them out?

Are unclean ducts causing our symptoms?

It's highly possible that the persistent cough and sneezing, along with itchy eyes experienced by you and your kids could be linked to unclean air conditioning ducts. In the UAE, especially during dust storms like those we've recently had, dirt, dust, pollen, and other allergens can easily accumulate in poorly maintained ductwork.

In Dubai, our climate and the recent sandstorms have led to an increase in particulate matter that can get trapped within the HVAC system and then circulated through your home. This could be leading to a worsening of allergy or asthma symptoms for you and your family.

Given the severity of your symptoms and considering the recent weather conditions, it would be wise to call in a professional for a thorough inspection. The experts at Saniservice can help identify any issues with your ductwork that might be causing these problems.

Remember, unclean air ducts are not just an aesthetic issue; they can seriously affect indoor air quality. Regular cleaning and maintenance of your HVAC system is crucial to prevent the buildup of harmful particles like dust mites, mold spores, and pet dander which could exacerbate respiratory issues.

If you suspect that there might be a more serious problem, such as mold growth, it's imperative to address this promptly. Mold can cause severe health effects and is particularly dangerous for individuals with allergies or compromised immune systems.

So, please consider scheduling an inspection right away. You can contact us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com to book a service that fits your needs. Don't let indoor air quality issues continue to impact your family's well-being.

Lastly, ensure you keep your HVAC system serviced regularly, especially in dusty environments like ours during the dust storm seasons. This proactive approach can help maintain a healthier living environment for everyone.
