Is cleaning ducts urgent for our health?« Back to Previous Page

Cleaning ducts is something that might be considered urgent based on the symptoms your family has been experiencing. The persistent coughing could indeed be linked to dust and other particulates lingering within your central AC system's ductwork, even if the filters look clean. In the UAE, specifically in Dubai, it’s not uncommon to have high levels of outdoor pollutants like dust storms which can affect indoor air quality.

In my experience with similar cases, it's quite possible that the HVAC ducts are harboring more than just what meets the eye from a filter inspection. Dust, mold spores, and other allergens could be circulating throughout your home, contributing to respiratory issues. Given the recent dust storm in Dubai, it’s likely that there was an influx of particulates that might still remain undetected by the visible filters.

UAE regulations do stipulate regular maintenance for HVAC systems but don't specifically mandate duct cleaning frequency. However, given the conditions you've described, I would recommend a professional inspection and possibly a thorough duct cleaning to ensure your family's health isn’t compromised any longer.

If you decide to proceed with a professional service, look for companies that specialize in this area. Ensure they are certified and use appropriate methods to clean and sanitize the ducts, including using negative air pressure systems to keep contaminants from spreading through your home during the process.
