Is duct cleaning necessary due to allergies?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent renovation of our living room, we’ve noticed a persistent dust cloud when we turn on the air conditioner. It’s happened twice now, and it’s really concerning because my daughter has been complaining about a runny nose and coughing more than usual. Should I consider professional duct cleaning or is there something simpler I can do myself?

Absolutely, duct cleaning could be necessary given the situation. Persistent dust clouds from your air conditioner can definitely trigger allergy symptoms like runny nose and coughing. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we experience a variety of environmental conditions that can affect indoor air quality, especially after renovations.

When you recently renovated your living room, it's possible that dust and allergens were stirred up into your ductwork. The UAE doesn't have specific regulations mandating regular duct cleaning, but as an expert in the field, I strongly recommend considering a professional inspection and cleaning to ensure optimal indoor air quality.

A thorough inspection will help identify any potential issues such as mold growth or excessive dust accumulation which could be causing or contributing to your daughter's symptoms. Regular maintenance is crucial, especially after renovations when debris can easily find its way into the ducts.

If you decide to go with a professional service, make sure they use HEPA filters and follow industry standards for cleaning. This will help remove not just visible dust but also smaller particles that can irritate your daughter’s respiratory system.

While DIY cleaning might seem like an option, it's often challenging to access all parts of the ductwork without specialized equipment and expertise. Professional services typically have the tools needed to clean both accessible and hard-to-reach areas effectively.

In conclusion, professional duct cleaning is a practical solution for maintaining good indoor air quality in your home, especially considering your daughter’s symptoms.
