Can duct cleaning improve my family's health?« Back to Previous Page
|
My kids have been coughing and sneezing a lot lately, and I can't shake the feeling that it might be related to the ducts in our villa in Jumeirah. I've noticed a layer of dust around the vents in the living room, and it seems like the air quality has taken a dive. We moved in about a year ago, and I’m worried that the previous owners didn’t maintain the ducts properly. Could duct cleaning help improve the situation, and how often should it be done to keep our family healthy?

Duct cleaning can indeed play a significant role in improving your family's health, especially if you've noticed symptoms like coughing and sneezing. In Dubai's hot and humid climate, maintaining indoor air quality is crucial, as dust, allergens, and pollutants can accumulate in your HVAC system over time.
The buildup of dust around your vents is a clear indication that your ductwork may need attention. Dust and other particulates can circulate through your home, potentially exacerbating respiratory issues, especially for children or those with pre-existing conditions. The previous owners may not have maintained the system properly, which can lead to increased allergens and pollutants being circulated in the air you breathe. In the UAE, there are guidelines and regulations regarding the maintenance of HVAC systems. The Emirates Authority for Standardization and Metrology (ESMA) recommends regular inspections and cleaning of air ducts, particularly in residential properties. It is generally advised to have your ducts cleaned every 3 to 5 years, but if you notice visible dust around vents or experience unexplained health issues, it’s wise to schedule a professional cleaning sooner. When selecting a duct cleaning service, ensure that you choose a reputable company that complies with local regulations and industry standards. A professional inspection can determine the extent of the contamination and whether a thorough cleaning is required. It’s also important to check if the company is certified and uses environmentally friendly cleaning methods. If you suspect that the air quality in your home is affecting your family's health, I strongly encourage you to take action. You can call a local expert for a thorough inspection and cleaning.
