Could cleaning ducts reduce my kids' coughing?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I noticed a lot of debris accumulating in our ducts. The AC in my apartment seemed to be working extra hard lately, and I started to worry about it circulating all that dirt through the house. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits more than usual, and with them being so young, I’m really worried about their health. Could cleaning the ducts help reduce these symptoms?

Absolutely, cleaning your ducts could indeed help alleviate the coughing fits experienced by your kids. In the UAE and particularly in Dubai, where we experience frequent dust storms and high humidity levels, it's quite common to find a substantial amount of debris, including dust mites, pollen, and other allergens, circulating through the air conditioning system.
Dust and other particles can accumulate within the ductwork over time, leading to reduced airflow and increased energy consumption as your AC unit works harder to maintain optimal temperatures. This extra strain on your AC could be contributing to its performance issues you've noticed lately. Additionally, these airborne particles can trigger allergic reactions or exacerbate respiratory conditions in children, potentially explaining their recent coughing fits. In Dubai, the building regulations and environmental standards are stringent, but it's always a good idea to have your ducts inspected by professionals who understand the local climate and specific challenges faced here. A professional inspection can help identify any issues that need addressing before cleaning. It’s recommended to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an expert evaluation. Once you've confirmed there's a buildup, having your ducts professionally cleaned is the next step. This process involves removing all debris from within the ductwork, which can significantly improve indoor air quality and potentially reduce allergen exposure for your family. Regular cleaning every one to two years is generally advised in areas like Dubai where dust storms are common. Remember, while duct cleaning can be beneficial, it’s also important to maintain good overall indoor air quality by using air purifiers, regularly changing HVAC filters, and keeping the living spaces clean. This holistic approach will help create a healthier environment for your children and ensure they’re less prone to coughing fits or other respiratory issues.
