Could dirty ducts cause my symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

Could dirty ducts cause my symptoms? Yes, absolutely. In the UAE, particularly during such dust storms as the one we experienced recently, the air quality can drastically drop, and this might lead to issues like dry coughing and watery eyes when you use your AC.

Dirty ductwork in a residential setting like yours could be accumulating a substantial amount of particulate matter - including dust, pollen, and even microorganisms. When the air conditioning is turned on after sitting idle for some time, these particles are released into the living space, leading to discomfort especially during the evening when you first use it.

In Dubai and the UAE, regulations around indoor environmental quality can be quite stringent, but it's important to ensure that your home’s AC system is properly maintained. Regular cleaning of ducts can significantly reduce such issues. However, given the severity of recent dust storms, I'd recommend consulting with a professional for an inspection first.

At Saniservice, we offer comprehensive duct cleaning services which not only remove visible debris but also disinfect and sanitize the entire system. This ensures that your air is clean and safe to breathe, especially after such weather events.

If you're considering doing it yourself, be cautious. Some areas of the ductwork might require special tools or equipment that could pose risks if handled improperly. Plus, without proper knowledge on how to do so safely, you might not reach all contaminated spots which can lead to recurrent issues.

So, before you start any cleaning process, give us a call at 800-MOLDS (or 800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for professional advice. We're here to ensure your home stays healthy and comfortable all year round!
