Could mold from AC be causing my kids' colds?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, the AC system could be harboring mold which might be contributing to your kids' colds. Mold thrives in damp conditions and can easily develop within the air ducts of a building like yours, especially after rainy spells or if there's been any water damage, as you've experienced.

In Dubai, humidity levels can vary significantly between seasons, and even with modern AC units, moisture might still accumulate in parts of the system. This could lead to mold growth, releasing spores that circulate through your home’s air when the AC is on. These spores are known to irritate respiratory systems, particularly affecting young children who may have weaker immune systems or preexisting conditions.

To address this issue, I recommend a professional inspection by a company like ours at Saniservice, based in Dubai. Our experts will use specialized tools and techniques to assess the condition of your AC system, including the ductwork. We can also identify any mold growth present without causing further damage to your home’s structure.

Once identified, we'll provide a thorough cleaning plan that might involve disinfection or even replacement of parts of the air conditioning unit if necessary. Regular maintenance is crucial in maintaining good indoor air quality (IAQ) and preventing such issues from arising again in the future.

Remember, addressing this issue promptly can improve not only your family's health but also enhance overall comfort within your home during those humid months. Do consider contacting us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation and to schedule an inspection. Don't wait until it gets worse!
