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

After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a strange odor coming from the vents in my bedroom. The air feels stuffy, even with the AC on full blast. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits lately too. Could dirty ducts be causing these issues?

Absolutely, dirty ducts could be the root cause of those issues. In dubai, our climate is known for its dust storms and such events can indeed lead to a buildup of dirt, dust, and other particulates within your HVAC system's ductwork. This accumulation not only compromises air quality but also poses health risks especially during such periods.
When the ducts aren't cleaned regularly, they act as a breeding ground for mold spores, bacteria, and other allergens which can trigger respiratory issues like coughing fits in kids or adults. The stuffy feeling you're experiencing is likely due to restricted airflow caused by the dust clogging your vents and filters. In uae, it's crucial to adhere to local building codes regarding indoor air quality and HVAC maintenance. Regulations such as those outlined in the Dubai Municipality’s standards for building operations require regular servicing of these systems to ensure they function optimally.
