Could duct cleaning help my kids' symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the intense sandstorms we had last month, my bedroom has been feeling stuffy and the air conditioning unit is making a strange humming sound. My kids have been experiencing persistent coughing and runny noses, which I'm worried might be related to the dust and mold in our ducts. Has anyone here dealt with similar issues or know if regular duct cleaning could help alleviate these symptoms?

Absolutely, duct cleaning can be highly beneficial for your situation. The sandstorms that we experienced here in the UAE have definitely left their mark on our air ducts, and it's likely that dust, debris, and even mold spores have made their way into your system.

In Dubai, as per the regulations set by the Building Services Regulation Department (BSRD), regular maintenance of HVAC systems is essential to ensure indoor air quality. The sand and fine particles from these storms can accumulate in the ducts, leading to reduced airflow and potentially causing that humming sound you're hearing from the AC unit. This could also be contributing to the stuffiness you feel.

Regarding your kids' symptoms, there's a strong possibility that they are being triggered by the allergens trapped within the ductwork. Dust mites, pet dander, mold spores, and other irritants can build up over time, especially after such harsh weather conditions. The persistent coughing and runny noses might be symptoms of respiratory irritation or allergic reactions.

To properly address these concerns, I'd recommend scheduling a professional inspection by a certified HVAC technician who specializes in duct cleaning services. They will be able to assess the condition of your ducts and determine if thorough cleaning is necessary. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice are well-regarded for their expertise in this area.
