Could dirty ducts cause my cough and smells?

It's quite possible that the persistent cough and strong musty smell in your bedroom could be linked to a need for duct cleaning. In Dubai, dust storms are notorious for kicking up large amounts of particulate matter that can easily find their way into building HVAC systems if they aren't properly maintained.

In the UAE, especially during storm seasons like last month, it's crucial to ensure that your home’s ventilation system is functioning well. Dust and debris collected in air ducts can lead to a myriad of issues including poor indoor air quality, increased energy consumption, and even structural damage over time. Moreover, these particles can irritate the respiratory system leading to coughing, sneezing, and other allergy symptoms.

The strong smell you are experiencing could be due to moisture accumulation within the ductwork or possibly mold growth, both of which are common in unclean systems. Mold thrives in damp environments and can produce spores that are harmful when inhaled.

Given the specific conditions we've experienced recently, it's highly recommended that you get a professional inspection done. At Saniservice, we recommend an inspection to ensure your HVAC system is running efficiently and to identify any potential issues like mold or excessive dust buildup.
