Is AC duct cleaning linked to bedroom haze?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a weird haze lingering in my bedroom every morning. My kids have been complaining of itchy eyes and a persistent cough, especially after we run the AC. Could this be related to the ducts needing cleaning? Should I consider having them checked professionally?

Absolutely, AC duct cleaning could be linked to the haze you're noticing in your bedroom. Dust storms like the one we had recently can introduce a significant amount of particulate matter into the air which may then be drawn into and circulated through your HVAC system. Over time, these particles get trapped within the ductwork leading to a build-up that might not only affect indoor air quality but also impact energy efficiency.

In Dubai, where sandstorms are common, it’s quite plausible that these storms have left their mark on your home's ventilation system. The dust and debris in your AC ducts can indeed contribute to the haze you're seeing and could be causing the eye irritation and coughing issues your kids are experiencing post-AC use.

It would be wise to consider a professional inspection of your ductwork, especially if symptoms persist or worsen. The UAE doesn't have specific regulations mandating regular cleaning but industry best practices recommend it at least every 3-5 years depending on the environment and usage.

For a reliable service in Dubai, you might want to contact Saniservice. They can give you a thorough inspection and advise on whether your ducts need cleaning or any other remedial actions. You can reach them by calling 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for everyone's health, especially kids and those with allergies or respiratory issues. Taking action now could significantly improve the comfort in your home and reduce health concerns.
