Could ductwork cause my allergy symptoms?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the intense dust storm last month, I noticed a persistent dry cough and sneezing in our bedroom, especially when we turn on the air conditioner. The windows are always closed to keep out the sand, so it’s concerning that this might be related to the ductwork. Have you experienced similar issues or should I consider having the ducts cleaned?

Absolutely, ductwork could be causing your allergy symptoms. In the UAE, especially during sandstorms like the one you mentioned, dust and other allergens can easily find their way into the HVAC system through small openings or cracks around the unit. When the air conditioning kicks on, these particles are then circulated throughout your home, leading to discomfort such as dry coughing and sneezing.
In Dubai and UAE in general, there's no specific regulation mandating regular duct cleaning but it is highly recommended by professionals like us at Saniservice. Our experience shows that blocked or dirty ducts can exacerbate respiratory issues, especially during peak allergy seasons. If you've noticed symptoms worsening after the sandstorm, it might be prudent to consider having a professional inspection and cleaning of your ductwork. This will not only help alleviate any current discomfort but also prevent potential long-term health effects from allergens trapped in your system. Remember that proper maintenance of your HVAC system can greatly reduce indoor air pollution and improve overall comfort within your home. Our team at Saniservice is equipped to handle all aspects of duct cleaning, ensuring that your system operates efficiently and safely.
