Could dirty ducts affect our health?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I noticed a thick layer of dust on the windowsills of our living room. My wife suggested that it might be coming from the ducts since they haven't been cleaned in over five years. The AC has been making strange noises lately too, and my son has complained about having a cough for the past couple of weeks. Could this all be related to dirty ducts?

Absolutely. Dirty ducts can indeed affect your health and comfort within the home. In dubai/UAE, where we have seen frequent dust storms, it's crucial to maintain clean airways in our homes. The dust you noticed on window sills could be a sign of a much larger issue at play.
Dust and debris build up in ducts over time can lead to a variety of health issues. These include respiratory problems like coughing, sneezing, and even more serious conditions such as asthma or allergies for those with pre-existing conditions. The strange noises coming from your AC unit could be due to the accumulation of dirt and grime that's affecting its performance. In dubai/UAE, where we have a high incidence of dust storms, it’s not uncommon to see a significant increase in airborne particulates. These can travel through the ducts and into every room of your home. The cough your son has been experiencing could be directly linked to these irritants being introduced back into your living space. To address this issue properly, i would recommend having a professional inspection done by a company that specializes in environmental inspections and remediation like saniservice. they can assess the condition of your ducts and provide a thorough cleaning if necessary. in dubai/UAE, it's essential to follow local regulations which may require periodic maintenance to ensure indoor air quality. call 800-molde or email hello@saniservice.com for more information and to schedule an inspection. don’t wait until the problem worsens; proactive maintenance is key in keeping your home healthy and comfortable. |
