Could duct issues cause our symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I’ve noticed a persistent cough and sneezing in the mornings specifically in my bedroom. The air feels thick and stuffy, even with the AC running. My kids have been complaining of itchy eyes and runny noses too. Could this be related to the ducts not being cleaned? Should I call an expert to check them out?

Could Duct Issues Cause Our Symptoms?
Yeah, probably. The symptoms you're experiencing could indeed be linked to issues with your air ducts. In the UAE, particularly Dubai, we've seen similar cases where dust storms have caused a spike in respiratory issues among residents. Dust and allergens that get into your home's HVAC system can accumulate over time, leading to dirty ductwork. This can result in poor indoor air quality (IAQ), which might explain why you're feeling stuffy and having coughing fits in the morning. Your kids complaining of itchy eyes and runny noses could also be due to allergens being circulated through your home's air. In Dubai, we've got regulations for HVAC maintenance and IAQ. According to the UAE Ministry of Energy and Industry's guidelines, regular cleaning and inspection of ductwork is crucial to maintaining healthy indoor environments. Dirty ducts can harbor a lot of dust, mold spores, and other allergens that get pushed into your home every time you turn on your AC or heater. Given what you're experiencing, it might be wise to call in an expert for a professional inspection. At Saniservice, we specialize in HVAC and indoor air quality assessments.
