Could AC vents cause my home's musty smell and kids' coughing?« Back to Previous Page

AC vents sure could be the source of that musty smell and your kids' coughing. In dubai, we often experience high humidity levels, which coupled with rainy weather can create a perfect breeding ground for mold and bacteria. The air conditioning system's evaporator coils are particularly vulnerable as they collect moisture during the cooling process, creating an environment ideal for microbial growth.

If you've noticed that smell near your AC vent or if your kids have been complaining of coughing and sneezing more often since the rain, it’s quite possible that mold or bacteria could be growing in those uncleaned coils. This can definitely contribute to indoor air quality issues, making it important to address promptly.

Regular maintenance is key to ensuring a healthy environment. In dubai, it's recommended to have your AC system inspected and cleaned at least once a year by professionals who are well-versed with local regulations like the UAE’s Building Code which requires regular servicing of HVAC systems to ensure they operate efficiently and safely. The Abu Dhabi Environmental Agency (ADEMA) also has guidelines that HVAC maintenance should be done in line with environmental standards.
