Could dust from ducts cause coughing and sneezing?« Back to Previous Page

Could dust from ducts cause coughing and sneezing? Yeah it's a possibility. In the UAE, especially during dust storms, our air conditioning systems can trap and circulate particulates like dust, pollen, and other allergens. These can certainly trigger respiratory issues such as persistent coughing and sneezing.

In Dubai, we've seen cases where households report similar symptoms after a storm. It’s not uncommon for dust to accumulate in the ducts of air conditioning units due to the regular operation of the system. The filters might not always catch all the fine particles that get into the ductwork. Over time, these can circulate through your home causing irritation and triggering allergic reactions.

For instance, I've dealt with several clients who experienced similar issues after a dust storm. Their symptoms only subsided once we cleaned the entire HVAC system, including the air ducts. Professional cleaning can significantly reduce airborne contaminants and improve indoor air quality, making it a good idea if you're experiencing ongoing respiratory problems.

But first, it's important to get your system inspected by a professional. The UAE has strict building codes regarding indoor environmental quality, particularly in commercial buildings but also applicable to residential areas. A certified inspector can pinpoint the exact source of your discomfort and recommend appropriate measures.

If you think this might be the issue, I'd suggest contacting us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a thorough inspection and cleaning. We use advanced techniques that ensure all areas of your ductwork are thoroughly cleaned to remove not just dust but also mold spores if present.

Remember, maintaining clean air in your home is crucial, especially with our climate here. Keeping your air conditioning system well-maintained can prevent future issues. So don't delay, give us a call and let's breathe easy together!
